My 365 of NYC: November 2011

Giving Thanks

This thanksgiving I would like to post some pictures of things I am grateful for this year! In no particular order...

Bryan and I are so lucky to be able to attend the Spanish ward (church). We love everything about it, especially being able to serve with the great youth in our ward! Here are a few pictures of things we've enjoyed with el barrio!

Glass Bowl ya ya ..or plastic

When they say to use a glass bowl to caramelize walnuts.. They don't mean if the plastic bowls are easier to reach it's okay to use those instead.

Leaves falling everywhere..

When I was in third grade I wrote a poem that I thought for sure would make me famous after I entered it into the reflections contest at school ha ha.. For some reason I still remember the goofy thing and thong of it every fall...

Leaves in the mountains
Leaves in the trees
Leaves swirling everywhere,
In the lightly breeze
The days are getting colder
The skies are getting gray
So please come out and play
for the very last day.

I think it was my improper use of the word "lightly" that kept me from achieving fame ;)

Truman in Brooklyn

Truman, my way awesome father-in-law, came to visit us! We thought it would be fun to show him "Chinatown" aka 8th ave. in Brooklyn.. As we sat down we found out that he was going to Hong Kong the next day for a a week and was going to get his fair share of authentic Chinese food there.. Thanks Truman for being a good sport!
