Five Good Things: Barn Jacket Edition
1. Fall TV starting to come back. I wish I could be one of those respectable literary-type people who is like, “I prefer reading Proust by candlelight to watching brain-rotting cable programming,” but you know what? My boyfriend works nights, candlelight hurts my eyes, and I freaking love television so much I would marry it if I could. So there. On the docket this fall: Glee, Bones, and The Office, for starters. Not to mention my fevered, glassy-eyed plow through Seasons 4 and 5 of Lost. I’m onto you, Juliet Burke. Don’t think I’m not.
2. I got home from work on Wednesday night, and Tom had already made dinner. And a salad. And garlic bread. And he bought a bottle of pinot noir. I am not kidding you when I say it was better than Christmas and my birthday combined. Thanks Tom. You are a catch.
3. Ingrid Michaelson at the Paradise tonight! I know very, very little of her music, but I have never seen a bad show at this venue, so word. Plus I think there might be burritos involved.
4. Signing up for a winter CSA share, thus stretching the veg haul out through December (though I feel like we’ll probably be eating a terrifying amount of squash). Anybody out there know how to cook a whole pumpkin?
5. “Now is the season for action.” Heck yeah it is. Let’s move.

Katie! It’s Kelly, Jen’s friend from MI. I know how to cook a whole pumpkin and you will love it. It is called pumpkin stew, and it is stew that you cook IN the pumpkin. It’s my favorite fall thing to make, because it includes deliciousness like kale, pork, carrots, etc. Let me know if you want the recipe.
