buttermilk cookies and things.

Did anyone else leave their window opened overnight and are now stuck with that froggy, "I left my window opened overnight" voice for the rest of the day? I did. It really feels like fall this morning. The feeling where it's too cold to remove the comforter to get out of bed. I'm starting to get really excited for pumpkins and what not.I love looking back at these polaroids; they remind me of the chilly weather. I love how how Laura and I were driving up to see the Spice Girls, how we had to make a pit stop on some New Jersey farm, how we bought octopus in bulk, and how I baked these delicious and comforting buttermilk cookies (recipe from Gourmet issue in 2008)...

Despite the rainy forecast here in Philadelphia, I'm very excited for the weekend. Made reservations for Talula's Garden tonight! Braised Rabbit, Handkerchief Pasta, Pecorino, Green Olives, and Fava Beans? Tortelloni of Slow Roasted Whole Goat?!  Oxtail Stuffed Artichoke!! Are you drooling yet? Okay, everybody, calm down. I'll let you know how it is on Monday! Have the bestest weekend ever, everyone! 

ps, Happiest birthday week to my sweet baby muffin, Brittney. She's not really a dead vampire.
