Thursday Things
October 25th, 2012 | Author: Alysha
It may be almost November, but tank top weather is still here in Wisconsin (at least until tonight). Even my wedge sandals have made an appearance (despite my naked toes peeking out sans a toenail or two – thank you half marathon training). Here’s what has been going on lately:
1. Don’t forget to enter my giveaway for a Primula Half Moon Teapot gift set! You have until Monday, Oct. 29 to enter (make sure to head on over to the original post). By the way, I’ve loved hearing about all your favorite gifts. Keep those stories coming!
2. My Pampered Chef party is being extended.
You now have until Sunday to order in case you forgot. For info on how to order, see this post.
3. I can’t wait for tonight. I DVR’d Nashville, which I finally get to watch. Has anyone else been sucked in? I knew I would love it when I saw the commercials months ago. Also, Brenton is making Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese for dinner.
Even better? I don’t have to do a thing. Because I will be making…
4. Halloween Cake Balls!
Tonight, making cake balls for our creative department outing tomorrow (a pig roast, mini-bowling and a good amount of drinking—this is advertising after all). Remember these Homemade Funfetti Cake Balls I made for Hillary’s birthday? Well I am going easy this time. Yellow cake mix, Pillsbury Halloween frosting, chocolate Almond Bark…and these cute little sprinkles for a finishing touch.
Question: What’s the funnest work outing you’ve ever been on? What did you do?

Yes, I’ve totally been sucked into Nashville. The butternut squash mac & cheese looks fantastic, but if you’re having that for dinner, it means you’re not going to the Iron Horse tonight, which is a bummer :(

I know :( I didn’t even know about it until you sent that email. I need to get in the loop earlier. Have fun! I can’t wait to hear how it went.

I’m loving Nashville, Scandal and Happy Endings for tv these days. I totally made that Mac n cheese last year when u posted it I think. You’ve reminded me I need to make it again. Chris asked me out at a work function around the holidays when we were drinking at Mo’s Irish Pub so that was a good work outing!

I have fond memories of Moe’s downtown. That’s awesome that you made this mac and cheese. And here I thought I was writing down recipes for nothing :)

That mac n cheese looks amazing. I’d love to try it!! And have someone cook it for me!

Doesn’t food always taste better when someone cooks it for you?

Tank top weather until tonight is right. I had my windows down on the way to work this morning & my heat cranked on the way home!
That mac & cheese looks A-MAAAAZING.
Working at a brewpub, most of our outings tend to be pretty fun. However, my favorite work outing was while I was at my old job & involved gallavanting all over San Fran.

Me too. I seem to have a mac and cheese complex lately.

Tank top! Lucky dog you. :) It’s 40, windy and thoroughly frankenstorm gross over here in Charlotte today. In fact, a bowl of that mac and cheese would be perfect right about now!

I wish it were still tank top weather. I’ve already had to break out the scarves and mittens! I hope you guys don’t get hit too hard!

That mac and cheese looks amazing, mac and cheese is one of my all time favorite foods!!! And I love that your guy is making it for you!! I always think food tastes better when someone else makes it :)

I 110% agree. Sometimes when I’m in the kitchen for hours, whatever I made doesn’t even taste that good because of all the effort that went into it.
