And then...when Blue and I were out in the woods taking a hike with the dog this afternoon, we all of a sudden see this large thing move above our heads and her a loud "whoosh." We look up and there is this huge brown owl swooping toward us. Apparently we had startled it and it wanted to express to us how unhappy it was about this. Looking back on it, it was pretty neat to actually see such a large owl up close out in the wild.
On a lighter note, in going along with Brooke's fun cookie find, I've also found a new fantabulous food item at the grocery store. It is Dickinson's Country Pumpkin Butter, and boy is it good. You can find it in the jam and jelly section, and at $1.79, it' a steal. It tastes like heaven. We've been eating it on bagels and toast. It's so good that I even eat a spoonful by itself every once in a while. Everyone should try it!
Wooh! I guess I'm feeling a little long-winded this evening. If you've managed to make it all the way down here, you're a trooper!

I made it, Leah!!! I'm sorry you got attacked by an owl. I also would like to plug the pumpkin butter, my grandma makes it and it kicks ass.
Mmmmmm yummy. I think that I could make an exception on my "cooked fruit" rule with that one. Besides, pumpkins are gourds (sp?) so it doesn't count. Right?
I can't believe you were attacked by an owl. Terrifying. I bet Mozart would have gone into combat mode if the owl persisted.
i'm with you elizabeth. that pumpkin butter sounds good. i don't think it counts as cooked fruit. we eat pumpkin pie. i am going to try it for sure.
Chandle, by it I'm assuming you mean the cake?? How did it turn out?
Elizabeth, pumpkins are a type of squash and I don't know if gourds are squash as well or vice versa, but, either way, it think it bypasses your rule. :)
