Central Park, NYC
Welcome to the final Fall Fridays! I know that autumn technically ends on December 20th, but I refuse to acknowledge that. If I see a Santa display then that means it’s Christmas. The seasons (as I know them) are: spring, hell, autumn, Christmas, winter - I don’t make the rules.
BAKING/COOKING
I made a rice krispies pumpkin pie for American Thanksgiving and it turned out pretty well! Kind of a perfect dessert for a kids table.

CRAVING
The duck confit poutine from Duck Season at the Union Square Holiday Market that reopened this week.
DRINKING
Spinach smoothies in the morning as soon as I wake up. I never thought I’d get into it, but it’s annoying how good it makes me feel.
EATING
I’ve started making omelets with caramelized onions and goat cheese daily and I have to tell you: it really makes you think you’re better than other people. It’s so fast and easy and delicious that I’m a little mad I didn’t start doing this sooner.
EXPERIENCING
I went to see the miniature train exhibit at the New York Transit Museum (in Grand Central Station). I don’t know when my passion for miniatures began, but it’s deepening at an alarming pace.

LISTENING
It’s Black Friday, so the Christmas playlist is officially playing.
LOVING
Family Matters Christmas episodes. I should probably do a post on other sitcom Christmas episodes, I can sense how much you want that.
SHOPPING
Got some gingerbread whipped cream from Target for the rice krispies and whoa. It would be heavenly in a mug of hot chocolate.

WATCHING
I watched the new episodes of The Crown and this show is just sick. Showing conversations between two dead people that no one can corroborate? Get a life.
WEARING
Sometimes I wear all one colour and it tricks me into thinking I’m stylish. Sometimes it works and then sometimes I look like a farmer.
“She could be a farmer in those clothes.”
These weekly roundups have been really fun to do, so don’t be surprised if Winter Wednesdays turn up in a few weeks…
