A couple of weeks ago I made pumpkin butter, because honestly what can be better than pumpkins and butter?! I just love the fall it is by far my favorite season...the colors, smells, textures, tastes....I can go on but I won't. There is something so special about fall in New England like it was made for fall and fall alone.
Below is the recipe I followed. which I got from allrecipes.com
1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin puree
3/4 cup apple juice
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Combine pumpkin, apple juice, spices, and sugar in a large saucepan; stir well. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes or until thickened. Stir frequently.
- Transfer to sterile containers and chill in the refrigerator until serving.
It was super easy and made the house smell so good exactly like fall should smell.
Today is my birthday and this is how I wish I could have celebrated it, but that is not the case with only one month left until graduation (literally one month today). But my friends made it very special and made a surprise birthday party and I am not sure exactly what is going on tomorrow but I know there is some other birthday party which I am really looking forward to!
My friend are the greatest my roommate got me a box of small items for my summer of commuting into New York City for my internship at Martha Stewart Living. She got me a small bottle of sheer sunblock, some packs of gum, a tupper-ware case for eating cereal on the run and a bunch of other great stuff. The craziest thing which goes to show how well she knows me is she included a Bumpit which is really funny because I have alway wanted one, but felt it was a big waste of money and I NEVER mentioned that I wanted one to her. I can't wait to try it out!

I have been watching the great race, and I love it! I want to be part of it...but I don't think I am actually going to apply for it. But in the mean time I became aware of The Great Urban Race, Which seems like so much fun. "The Great Urban Race is a wacky urban adventure. Teams of two solve twelve clues, have a wild city adventure and complete fun challenges while discovering the city in a fresh way."
These are located all over the country in big cities. It cost $50 dollars to participate, but seriously I can't imagine a much better way to spend a day, and what a good date idea!
Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co. really can do no wrong. And she did it again with her latest Halloween stationary line. And Halloween is my favorite holiday par none. I don't really like the dressing up part but I can't get enough of all the creepy, cute things that Halloween is all about.
