Rodizios and last night's tv

Andrew and I went to Rodizios last night for dinner. It was really good. They had this one cut of meat that quite literally melted in your mouth. It was awesome. Andrew liked it a lot. He said he liked it better than the Melting Pot, but I disagree. I like other things than just meat. If we go back again, I think I will keep my “salad bar” plate throughout the meal.

Funny but sad story: when we got home I flipped on the TV and the Obammercial was on. Like the very last two minutes or so. He was wrapping it up and I was like, that looks like he is in the Bank Atlantic center! So I called Dad and he confirmed. It’s sad that I can recognize the Panther stadium in like 2 seconds.

I also watched the Daily Show interview with Obama. I thought it was good. He answered questions without just restating the question in the form of a sentence. You betcha. I also saw the Colbert Report, and it was the first time that The Word was a fail. It really wasn’t that funny. But on a not political note, congrats Phillies. It would have been nice for the Rays to win, but, eh, neither team is the Marlins so I really don’t care. Also, Eddie got sent home on Top Design. I was scared for Nathan. I really want him to win. I heart Nathan. I like Ondine too. Preston, not so much. Eddie was starting to get on my nerves, but the judges were right. Nathan’s house would totally be more interesting.

Randomness

So I brought my spider plants in out of the cold. I set their tray on a cookie sheet. I don’t know when to put them back outside though. There is a frost warning for tonight just like last night. The internet says it's 29 outside right now. I miss Margate.

We are like 5 days behind in reading the bible. It’s going to be tough to catch up. At least we are into stories and out of Job. It’s getting so much less repetitive and they are repeating themselves less often and it’s much less repetitive too.

Project Runway leaving Bravo makes me sad. Not so much that it’s leaving makes me sad, but that I can’t find out any current information about it. Will it be on Lifetime? When will season 6 air? What is Fashion House?

An interesting bit of trivia: Audiences would show up to one of Andy Kaufman's stage performances expecting to see him perform as Latka, and heckling him with demands when he did not. Kaufman would punish these audiences with the announcement that he was going to read The Great Gatsby to them. The audience would laugh at this, not realizing that he was serious and would proceed to read the book to them, continuing despite audience members' departure. At a certain point, he would ask the audience if they wanted him to keep reading, or play a record. When the audience chose to hear the record, the record he cued up was a recording of him continuing to read The Great Gatsby from where he had left off. (Wikipedia)

Pumpkin carving weekend

This weekend was great. I feel better (although Andrew’s ear is broken) and the pumpkin carving day was fun.

We bought 4 pumpkins for everyone to carve. The guy at the pumpkin patch apparently couldn’t compare pumpkin sizes well or add at all. Lauren and Paige brought their own pumpkins and Ryan and Justin never showed, so we had plenty of pumpkins. They all came out really good. I’ll post pictures later. Peter picked out all the pumpkin seeds so we toasted more. We ate dinner at Sonny’s. After, we went with Hoyt and Lauren to the Terror of Tallahassee. It was so much fun. The actors creep me out. I love it. There was no creepy werewolf that followed us around this year.

So, there was a creepy pig-masked guy. He was grunting at Andrew trying to find out his name so we finally told him Bubbles. Why Bubbles he asked? Because he used to be a clown :) So in the next room, same guy come out of a door with a clown mask on and puts his face right in Andrew’s and is like “Bubbles?” lol It was fun. One of the actors, after I shouted at him that he wasn’t Hoyt like I thought he was, asked me for a hug (we were in the Sunland part). I have really cool pictures of Sunland up on Facebook.

I made mini pumpkin pies before everyone came over. They came out really good. I used the recipe off the can of pumpkin and poured it into muffin pans that had that premade biscuit dough smashed into the cups like a mini crust. I like individual things. It’s more fun to eat bites. I originally was going to do pumpkin pie empanadas, but the mini pies sounded easier.
