What I'm Reading This Week #30
Happy Final Friday of July everyone! I will not be sad to see this month in the rear view. The Mr finished the HOA minion's job by checking on the basement wall crevasse of missing mortar pretty much every waking hour after he "filled" the hole. I gave him a bamboo skewer to see if it hit the long bottom we saw with the camera. Nope. source When he poked it, it drained away. Every hour, he'd do the same and it kept emptying. I had him check to make sure it wasn't pouring out the front of the house and thankfully it wasn't. But if you figure that water has been etching away at the stairstep crack leading from the top of the hole then that goes down the entire length of the wall , so it had a long way to travel. In the end not only did the Mr use one quart of the filler but had to buy another one and used 1/3 of the bottle before it finally started leveling off!!

Long before pumpkin spice was a movement I loved pumpkin cookies. Then you made chocolate chip pumpkin brookies and I am hooked. When can I get more? :-)
ReplyDeleteWarm soups with buttered toast! I also love a good roasted veggie tray :)
ReplyDeleteI'll put in a 2nd vote for warm soup: tomato, butternut squash, roasted corn. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThere's only one place I like for apple cider donuts, so that's first on my list. Vegetable beef soup, banana bread, pumpkin bread, and cranberry bread are a must too.
ReplyDeleteThat Cathy cartoon is pretty much spot on.
ReplyDeletePotato soup and chili are two of my fall/winter favorites. I love grilled cheese, but since I have it so often on summer break I think of it as more of a summer food than a fall food.
I'm a fan of pumpkin spice, but they have taken it way too far. When I saw "pumpkin spice ham" at the deli last year I was done.
