Pictures from Recent Events

It's been a busy fall, and November has been no exception. I just visited my friend, CT, who moved to the D.C. area a few months ago.

Just two history nerds in a city full of historical significance.

The leaves! Apparently they were on the way out by the time I got there to visit, but still.

My office is having a Thanksgiving potluck, and I'm bringing cookies. Generally I avoid baking, because of my tendency to burn whatever I'm baking or not use the correct proportions, thus winding up with soupy chocolate in a shell instead of chocolate mousse. With cooking, parmesan cheese and olive oil cover a multitude of wrongs...not so much with the baking.

Despite the fact that they wound up in a number "8," these are neither burnt nor raw. And, on top of that, they actually taste pretty good!
