Weekend Update

1.  Saturday morning, we subjected Vi to Christmas pictures in order to secure the cutest picture possible for Christmas cards.  I think we found one.

2.  Saturday afternoon, Vi and Tux helped me rake leaves.

 3.  A few years ago, Shawn and I took a cooking class at the New Orleans School of Cooking.  Today, I finally put one of the recipes to use.  Spice enough to put hair on your chest--whether you want it to or not :).  

4.  In a bit foresight (which is in a bit of short supply these days--I blame the lack of sleep), I remembered that Thanksgiving is coming and I would need some hostess gifts.  A bit of math later, I realized I had enough time to pull together some Amish Friendship Bread.  So I started the starter.
