Happy November!

I have to admit I am totally excited it's November.  Not a huge fan of Halloween...BUT we did dress up a little for an event we went to.  Chicha went as a bee (I'm holding her antennas) and Mike and I made a last minute decision - Charlie Brown and the Little Redheaded Girl.  Haha!  I know, super lame.  But I drew a couple curly hairs on his forehead and extra blushed my face and then we had to leave the house.

Fun!  So anyway, I mostly wanted to tell you that I'm on pinterest now.  It is...well, I don't know yet.  Cute, sometimes hilarious, slightly addictive, has given me a few good ideas for random things, and well, it's just fun to be part of a new community.  If any of you are on it, feel free to follow - I put a button on here down the left side...

Okay, I can't resist one more cute doggie picture...a friend showed up with her Shih Tzu, too, and he was dressed up in the same costume - unplanned!  Love it.

Happy November and the beginnings of Holiday cooking!

Umm...

Well, you can certainly tell when the Drinkwater Kitchen has too much on its plate [no pun intended], can’t you?!  Sparing you details, we’ve had quite the last month of surprises, sadness, more surprises, and a little bit of fun too.

We were in Idaho for 2 weeks for Thanksgiving slash a funeral slash my job slash Husband’s job.  That combined with a key employee quitting (and me therefore taking over all her duties until we can find a replacement) PLUS a strange medical issue PLUS having to speak to 100+ ladies last week when normally I’m terrified of public speaking PLUS adding a member to our household all caused little sleep and zilch blog writing. 

Enough complaining for now?  I think so.  I’m just fine.  Exhausted but fine.  The hubby is traveling again but I have a new companion!  We were going to wait a couple months till we moved back into our house, but the local humane society was inundated with ~60 small dogs from a breeder who could no longer care for them.  We took advantage of the opportunity for a good dog and welcomed little Chicha into our home.  Here is the only good picture I have of her so far:

The story even made the news and, after successfully avoiding the 2 stations that were there with cameras, I was eventually pinned in and interviewed by one of them.  Mike caught a screenshot of me.  Makes me laugh.

But anyway, back to FOOD.  That’s why we’re here, isn’t it?  Thanks for so patiently waiting for my next post.  I am planning on quite a few coming up, what with all the holiday baking I have done none of so far!  I must catch up!  (Not only with cooking but I’ve missed so many posts from all my favorite bloggers…must read those!)

I have a couple restaurant reviews from our Idaho travels that I’ll post here shortly, along with a couple other items I made while there.  And then here I come, Christmas!
