Latest Obsessions

*Concord Grape Cornmeal Cake
This cake is a quick and easy way to use those great concord grapes
that just showed up at the market. The most time consuming part is seeding them.
But the end result is well worth the trouble.

*Filling my Halloween Pinterest board
I cannot wait to decorate the house and watch scary movies,
while drinking hot cider. I heart Halloween.

*GMO OMG
A documentary about GMO's, which judging by the trailer many
people seem to be totally unaware of what they are. It's so important
to know what we're eating.  Looking forward to watching it.

*The candle light yoga class I took last night
At the time I wanted to walk out after feeling like the class
was not only above my abilities but moving way too fast.
I managed to leave class feeling more peaceful and with a clearer mind
 than I had in awhile,  took a long walk down Houston, up Lafayette and
all the way to the Strand. Finally found the books I had been looking for,
headed home, and laid in bed reading.  It was also the most restful sleep
I've had in awhile. I don't  really want to go back to the class
-but I kinda do...

*Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler, MPH
This is the book I've been looking all over for.  Now don't get
all crazy- we're not trying to have a baby right now.  But this book
is so much more than that-it's about getting to know your body
and your cycle.  Which, after being on the birth control pill for
about a decade is something I am sadly unfamiliar with.
So I'm reading about it,  and it's extremely interesting.

*Andre Heimann's Hungarian Cabbage Strudel
This photo makes my mouth water. Apparently Andre's shop
is in Forest Hills-which isn't too far from Sunnyside!  I feel a
trip is in order. I'll have the real thing then I'll try to replicate it.
German/Austrian/Hungarian food is the BEST in the fall.

*This song from this movie
The husband and I watched the end of Empire Records a few nights
ago and that movie is one big nostalgia trip. It reminds me of being 15,
in all good ways. Now I can't stop listening to this song.  I also added
other favorite songs from other favorite teenage movies.  And even if
no one else cares about the songs I know that Zach Mack and I always will.
