Weekend Brew and Apron Giveaway

Action shot! Yeah, I thought you'd see the resemblance.

Only she spelled her name with a funky "y": Lynda. Can you imagine how ridiculous it would be to be called, "Lyd?" Well, unless you're Lydia, I guess. Never mind. (If you're reading this via FB, you need to click on the title to see the blog to see the pic.)

I'm giving this action shot apron away. You just have to participate in the grand kick off of this comeback meme:

Last year I began this monumental, historic (one year) tradition of posting our favorite Fall dishes once a week. (Aka meme.) You'll have to have your recipes ready by each Monday morning to do this crazy thing. We'll do this for 5 weeks. I'm giving something away at the beginning and a little something at the end.


Here's the print up close. Upon even closer inspection, you will infer that there is a "coffee theme" attached to this apron, which corresponds to this iconic image:



Two words: Masterful marketing.

The point of the meme is to use favorite, homespun, not necessarily healthy Fall comfort food recipes. Ones that Paula Deen would be proud of.

Are you up for this?

OK, here's the other thing. Since you didn't know I'd be asking for recipes today, I'm beginning this tomorrow, Tuesday, even though NEXT MONDAY will be the second installment. Remember, after tomorrow, it's Monday from here on out.

So choose your weapon recipe and return tomorrow to sign up for "Fall Into Flavor" and a chance to win the apron. It's what all the cool kids are doing.

Well, how was your weekend?

Mine was fun, despite an infection which nauseated me and caused me to puff up like a Pufferfish just in time for fun pics.

I went with some people from my small group to Brown County, Indiana, known for its colorful autumn foliage (that's leaves, for you sauna dwellers in TX and FL) and kitschy gift shops. Please note the strange sign Jorge and I are standing under: "Cripple Crow and Me. And Ed."

Also, the son came home from college this weekend, which is always fun. Part of that fun means five vehicles in our drive and garage. I'm sure the neighbors expect us to throw a washing machine out on the front lawn any day now.

Anyway, Moms of little ones, fortify your hearts: They will look as sweet taking a nap at 20 as they did at 2. Sleeping with his hood up makes my heart bunch up; I can't help it.

Sunday: Church, a walk on a greenway to commemorate a female friend who passed recently and then worked at Oneighty, where it was "Glo" night complete with a gymnasium lit only by black lights. Yes, that's me. Yay for Crest White Strips.




















What did you brew this weekend?
