I’m backtracking here for a sec. Thanksgiving. The four-day weekend was much-needed and very welcome. I wanted to take the four days and go on a bender of sorts — lots of eating, drinking and sleeping. Not necessarily in that order, though, it would make sense in that order 
And, to my surprise, great success! Anywho, and now that the pictures are off the camera (hence this belated themed post), thought I’d share some of the fun we had. In the kitchen, at least.
My bro, CK1, had Thanksgiving at his pad this year and offered up the staples of turkey, stuffing and mashed hella’ good potatoes. Seriously, could have eaten the whole bowl by myself. So, I decided I wanted to make butternut squash ravioli. Taking on this task (along with a recipe from Michael Chiarello that I very loosely followed), I realized, yet again, how much I love my KitchenAid. I love it like I love sporks. As in, I know it’s not a must-have kitchen gadget like, say, a fork or fire extinguisher. And, like a good knife, using a KitchenAid makes you feel like a pro. Martha uses a mixer like this, Emeril uses one, too; I must be channeling Martha and Emeril. Not. Sans Martha, I still manged to squeak out some semblence of butternut squash ravioli.
And outside the kitchen, JP and I managed to dust off our bikes and get some exercies and fresh air. We biked downtown on Thanksgiving night, which was a quick 10-minute ride! Good to know! With that ride under our belt, we felt confident we could do it again. So we did. On Sunday (or was it Saturday?), we made our way to the beach. Blue skies and perfect puffy clouds made for some good scenery!

Fork in hand, we now have ourselves a piece of the pie – a home! Dig in! We are so excited, and there is so much to update … and it will come … soon. Moving, for lack of a better word, sucks. It makes me sweat and what’s worse, I realize I am a pack rat. Do I need to keep my high school yearbooks? What about the anniversary card JP gave me … 6 years ago? Well, now that I have a house to fill, it seems the answer must be a resounding YES, yes?!
Dear Bed Bath & Beyond,
I can’t help but want to shop at your locales. Your selection of cutting boards, egg slicers, throw pillows and towel racks is vast. In your store, I’m forced to ponder questions like, “Do I need a silicone whisk and a stainless steel whisk?” and “Would I use an egg ring, to get those perfectly round poached eggs?” The answer is more often than not, no. Nevertheless, Bed Bath & Beyond, you make me think!
Lately, however, I’m thinking you’re not quite in touch with reality. Or maybe it’s me. But, I hope it’s the first. Specifically, your ads for college supplies seem, well, a bit … over-the-top? See picture below.
Really, Bed Bath & Beyond?
Do parents really have the money to make their college kid’s dorm look like an HGTV host threw up on it? Are lava lamps still cool? And those fresh, clean walls? (My dorm walls were of the gruel-colored, faux-brick type. I could barely get ticky tack to stick to them ensuring my Madonna poster stayed put.)
Wondering in West Palm,
CP
We had the pleasure of checking out Q. Tarantino’s latest film, Inglourious Basterds. And by pleasure, I mean 153 minutes that included smart and funny dialogue, Brad Pitt, drinking games, the girl from the National Treasure movies, shoot ‘em ups, and an incredible performance by Austrain-born Christoph Waltz - just to name a few things that kept my attention. In fact, I didn’t look at my watch phone once. Cheers to Tarantino!! And what’s more, I took my mom to see this movie!! Despite the Nazi-scalping and multiple f-bombs being dropped, I think she liked it 
In other news, I saw this picture of Jon Gosselin and had to post it:
I can’t even type what I really think when I see this, but I think it rhymes with ‘drool.’ Hahahaha!
