Pittsburgh Weather

Seasonal

Hey there!

I recently bought and cooked two seasonal food items. Huzzah! Both of them came from a wee little fruit stand about 1 minute from campus.

First up: Spaghetti squashI cut the squash in half and cooked one side. I brushed it with olive oil, sprinkled it with salt and pepper, and microwaved it (lazy) for about 7 minutes in 1/4 cup of water. I scraped the squash out with a fork and topped it with spaghetti sauce. My thoughts: I wish I would have roasted it!

Up next: PumpkinI bought a pie pumpkin, peeled and cut it, and roasted it for 45 minutes at 375* with olive oil, salt, and cinnamon. My thoughts: It was amazing.

Other random things:

I was working on a school project that required me to include some old pictures. I asked my mom to help me find some and she found this gem…..I actually blended in with the wall. Don’t ask me why I was wearing a cow sweatsuit (I’m lactose intolerant LOL) that says “I’m udderly adorable.” Oh my.

Pittsburgh has some of the craziest weather. Yesterday it was in the 80’s and I actually saw snow in the forecast for next week. What?!

Recent Eats

Howdy there. Here are some recent eats:

Bob Evan’s pumpkin bread. Jimmy and I have spent the past 3 or 4 Friday night’s eating dinner at Bob Evans. I pretty much go just for the pumpkin bread. Just kidding, the food there is pretty good. But the pumpkin bread is really good.

Eat n Park sticky bun + dinner roll. This comes with every entree. YES.

Peanut butter + spoon = my favorite way to consume peanut butter.

Fresh figs from my grandma. I never had a fig until that moment. They were good!

Marshmallow treats. In the car. Random.

Homemade peanut butter. I took this as I was stirring the honey in.

Iced pumpkin coffee in a mason jar. I didn’t know what is so cool about mason jars because drinking this made my hand cold!

A KIND bar, consumed whilst studying.

I got an edible arrangement from Jimmy today for our 4 year anniversary <3. Jimmy did this for our 2 year anniversary and this past V-Day. He knows me so well ;). If you’re reading this Jimmy, thank you & I love you!

That’s all I have for recent eats. Today was a pretty warm day for Pittsburgh–I think the high was 75* and I loved it! It’s going to cool down this weekend, with temperatures dropping to the 40’s and 50’s, so I better stock up on hot coffee!! I’m off to finish some homework and then I’m going to text Jimmy to brainstorm what we’re going to do to celebrate four years together. Any suggestions?!
