my favorite things: the flame edition
Derfwad Manor put up a challenge: let's list a few of our favorite things. I started making a list, checked it twice and saw a theme developing...I have a thing for orange.
MyChelle's Incredible Pumpkin Peel: It smells like heaven, contains no crazy chemicals and helps fade those unsightly red marks, post- 'you've got to be kidding me, I'm an adult for heaven's sake' breakouts. Not that I know anything about that.
Fall leaves: I could walk everyday, rain or shine, if I am greeted by these lovelies.
Mmmmm, sweet potato fries: Burgerville (in the mighty NW) sells 'em but I like to make them myself, in my oven. It makes me think they are low calorie and I'm all about having some illusions at this point. I like mine with BBQ sauce or hummus. And they are soft and easy to eat so they get an A+.
Now, strictly speaking this is not orange. I've taught my kids that referring to red locks as 'orange' is rude, and dangerous. Them are fighting words. But look at this little girl. I love her hair. I've been awestuck and envious of redheads since grade school. It began with my bff in grade school, Kelly, and haunts me to this day: Marcia Cross and Julianne Moore come to mind.
Field of pumpkins: It's the last time (I think) this season you'll have to hear me go ga-ga over these gourds.
Vegan Carrot Cake Rice Cream: No eggs! Tastes great! In my freezer, right now.
Just kidding.

I cheat, when I can, and buy precut spears at Trader Joes - less pain and mess. I toss the fries with olive oil, salt and pepper (sometimes rosemary because I love it dearly), and bake them at 450 for 20-25 minutes. I usually toss them a few times, so they get equally crispy.
MMmm. I had it for lunch yesterday.
Okay, no more exclamation points.
Very nice post. I'm so sad I forgot to participate in the favorite things challenge :(
I have to admit it, though. Sweet potato fries unsettle me greatly.
