Fall Has… Fallen?

I was trying to think of a fall equivalent for “spring has sprung,” but I think it’s pretty weak.  Also, I can’t think clearly when someone is clapping my face between their hands because the Cowboys just scored a touchdown.

Aaaanyways, although I really love summer (I swear your birth season is always your favorite), early fall makes me practically giddy.  If it was longer and didn’t come before that one season that begins with a “W,” it would be even better.

This weekend has been full of all the things that make early fall so near and dear to my heart.

Curry.

Curry in a hurry to be exact.

  

I didn’t actually know what I was doing, I just cooked some onions then added some curry, paprika, soy sauce, water, butternut squash cubes, zucchini moons and when those were done, I tossed in some chickpeas.

There’s nothing more comforting than a hot bowl of curry on a fall day.

Some awesome sandwiches were also made.

Amazing tomato jam.

These sandwiches had it all.  Grilled eggplant, tomato jam, spicy arugula and melty fontina cheese. 

Best part of the week: We needed Italian bread for this recipe so I sent Joey to the grocery store with our list that said, “Ital. bread.”  I guess I wrote the I and t too close together because when he got back he said, “What the heck is Hal bread??”  So funny.  And funnier still that Hal bread was his most recent Google search.

And that Hal bread was so good.

Let’s not talk about the Rockies game we attended on Friday night.  It wasn’t pretty.  I also didn’t recognize 98% of the lineup.

We hit up Oktoberfest afterwards, which is just a giant German festival in downtown Denver.  Everyone is drinking beer in lederhosen.  I forgot mine at home.

Just kidding, only two of those were mine.

Okay savory oats has nothing to do with fall, but I had those this weekend too.  For the first time ever!

 In the mix:

• rolled oats 
• cheese       
• pizza sauce
• hummus    
• avocado     
• s & p         

It was a nice change-up, but sweet oats win in my book.

There was also running, eating, shopping and more eating. 

Seriously though, my 10-mile run went swimmingly and now I can’t stop eating. **More about my run tomorrow!

Does this picture say fall or what?

Happy Sunday!
