Fall weekend

I had a pretty good weekend full of activity and just one food slip up. I love weekends that have a little something going on each day. It started with dinner with R at a Greek Restaurant. I haven't been a great fan of Feta cheese - I guess I always thought it to strong and salty. What I had Friday night was delicious and just right in a greek salad. I did have some baklava for dessert, but for the price I have had better. Somehow I didn't feel satisfied when I got home and the ice cream idea entered my head. Most times my bodega on the corner DOES NOT have a great selection of ice cream. Well maybe I was desperate or something, but I settled on Ben and Jerry's Red Velvet cake ice cream which was pretty good - the only thing that annoyed me was the large chucks of red velvet cake in the ice creams.

Saturday I cooked on of my favorite fall dishes, sausage and apples made with garlic and brown sugar. I like making this dish around the turnings of the year since it has sausage, especially if I use pork sausage and apples. Sows and apples are frequently associated with the Goddess. I typically serve it on buttered biscuits. We sampled apples at our Red Tent Temple and there was one that was an older variety, Court Pendu Plat apple, that was very distinctive and delicious. We had cider, hard cider, sparking cider - of which the hard cider was very popular. 


Sunday I decided to drag myself out of bed and get to a women entrepreneur's meetup/networking group in the Village. I had a great time connecting with 7 other women and sharing my dream and process of starting WomanSpace in NYC. It was the one time this year that I got to eat outside at a cafe and the weather was just right. I had a skirt streak/cheese/mushroom quesadilla. Though I was really tired, I am so glad I went and hung out with amazing women. 


Well, now it is on to another week.
