it has been a while since my last post as I have been away for a few days. Where I have been to and what I did there I will tell you next time.
Last weekend was IHWS (if you do not know what this is click on the bottom on the upper right of this blog) and although I have been busy repairing a fence with DH I managed to get some stitching done. The weather was warm and sunny and so we got our work on the fence done faster than we originally had expected.
Today it was foggy all day, well, I think we have to get used to it, it is the time of the year that often brings lots of fog, which sometimes last all day. As the highest mountains in our county are not more that 400 m high (yes, it is that flat around Vienna, the alps are in the south-western part of Austria) we have no possibility to "flee" to higher regions above the fog. It sometimes is quite frustrating when the weather forecast says that it is sunny and warm in all other parts of the country and outside your window it is nothing but wet and grey. But no need to complain, on the other hand it is perfect stitching weather! ;-)
So here is last weekend's progress on my "6 Fat Men":
|Friday afternoon
|Sunday evening before going to bed
In September I have been working on an exchange piece as well, but I am not able to show it to you yet.
I hope you all have a lovely week, keep on stitching!

A friend of mine asked me to make some simple Thank you notes that she and her sister could make to send after her sister's baby shower. The emphasis was on the word "simple". These ladies have never stamped before and claim to not be crafty. They walked into Archiver's and said "Our friends told us to come here", and walked out with a piece of patterned paper, some ribbon, and cardstock that matched the party invitations. So I made 4 options for them. They can mix up the white or kraft backgrounds, pick one of the cards or make some of each design. I hope they like them!

Our Blog: The Hoot
Howdy Folks,
We hope that you have enjoyed the CSA season. It was a beautiful and wild season this year. With the lingering winter that gave the season a slow start and then a summer that was not too warm and a fall drier than ever, we made out pretty well. The strawberries and tomatoes were delicious. We worked with no drastic crop failures, and pretty good vegetable yields all around, I'd say the hardest we were hit by this year was deer pressure and voles… Ok. Maybe there were some modest crop losses. The early season broccoli and cabbages were eaten upon planting by voles. 1 hour after planting the vegetables were gone! The voles were living under the bio plastic we use in the fields and they were giddy when we slipped those fresh transplants in the ground. So we lost a lot of early starts, but we fed a lot of voles and their families. Kharma is on our side!
Our crew this year was our best yet. They were mature and got to it when we had to harvest, plant out and pack. No complaining or dragging their feet…well almost none of it anyways. AND this made for a relatively easy year. Work was still work and we all felt tired but that was pretty much the extent of it. We really appreciated everybody and their contributions. They'll all be missed as most of them are leaving this weekend to farm in the bahamas. Actually, I don't know where they are going. But it would be cool to farm down there for the winter. Thanks Crew!
We want to apologize for not having a get together on the farm this year. We thought the pig roast was a great idea, but that idea went with the fire of the slaughter house. We thought a Halloween hoopla would have been fun, but arranging it became a little hard to plan last minute. It's always hard to get people out here for potlucks and the like. We totally understand that everyone is just as busy as we are. One reason we encourage people to try the market CSA is b/c we get to see you! We don't like to miss out on meeting the people that support our farm. We, also, have an open door policy so you all can come up to the farm and see what it's all about when it's convenient for you. It's likely we'll plan potlucks on the farm or in the city next season.
In your box this week:
Small: Bok Choi or Senposai, Carrots, Watermelon Radish, Kohlrabi, Head Lettuce, Leeks or Onions, and Rutabaga
Large: Bok Choi, Delicata Squash, Watermelon Radish, Carrots, Broccoli, Onions, Senposai or Kale, Fennel, Kohlrabi, Mustard Greens, Head Lettuce, and Rutabaga
Recipe for the week:
Kohlrabi< In our house it mostly gets eaten raw. It gets peeled and then sliced and dashed with salt. I recently found an article that the Huffington Post that gives several ideas of what to do with Kohlrabi. I hope that you all have enjoyed these Idea recipe postings. They help me to be more imaginative with my cooking. I hope that they are inspiring for you too!
May you all have a beautiful fall, and don't be a stranger. If your craving Who Cooks For You Farm food, come and visit us at one of our three different markets in the Pittsburgh area. We'll be selling at the Markets until the week of Thanksgiving. And you get a 10% discount too! Please come to market and introduce yourself if we haven't already met. Here's a link to the find more info about the exact locations of the markets. http://www.whocooksforyoufarm.com/pgh-farmers-market
Saturday mornings from 9- 12. Monroeville Lions
Sunday mornings from 9-1 Squirrel Hill
Monday afternoons from 3- 7 East Liberty
Also we'll be selling a few things to the East End Food Coop in the next months, like pea shoots, salad turnips, and carrots. So if you still need your WCFYF food fix, you can find a little of our stuff there for a little while. Come late December into February we hibernate a little. Although we'll give you all a shout out around the New Year to get you thinking about the upcoming season and a reminder to take advantage of our early bird special.
Thanks for your support and healthy appetites!
Your Farmers, Chris, Aeros and the Who Gang; Ben, Elliot, Lauren, Garett, Joe and Jess
Happy Halloween!
Howdy Folks,
Yesterday Chris went down to Pitt's campus to talk to students at an event called Pitt Food Day. The point of our presence was to address the lack of youth we witness at farmer's markets. It feels like a bit of an emergency to encourage youth to participate in our food culture. To encourage students to come to markets, we're offering students with a student ID 10% off of our produce. It feels like the right thing to do.
We're in the process of clearing out the fields entirely! I have a tiny window of opportunity to get a cover crop on the remaining fields. We have to dig carrots, top watermelon radishes and cut kohlrabi. Harvests like this are not so daunting in large part to the barrel root washer we purchased last year. It makes washing this many vegetables relatively easy. Aeros and I remember washing bulk vegetable harvests for many hours besides the harvest itself. Now it takes about an hour to do comparable washes. Woah!
The final CSA drop is next week.
In this week's box, you'll find:
Small: Napa Cabbage or Kale, Purple or Orange Carrots, Head Lettuce, Leeks, Bagged Young Mustard Greens, Watermelon Radish and Bunched Radishes or Salad Turnips.
Large: Napa Cabbage or Kale, Purple or Orange Carrots, Head Lettuce, Leeks, Bagged Young Mustard Greens, Watermelon Radish, Bunched Radishes or Salad Turnips, Bunched Beets, Broccoli or Swiss Chard, Delicata Squash, Garlic and a Head of Tatsoi.
Mustard greens are usually not at the top of most grocery lists, yet they are delicious nutritious and seasonally appropriate. We've been eating them regularly wilted with just about anything. If you decide to eat them raw, you'll get the spice associated with mustard greens. If they're wilted, they are very mild with great flavor.
Chris' parents visited a couple weeks ago and, during lunch, brought out 2 bunches of radishes from the fridge. They sliced them and sprinkled salt and olive oil on them. Maybe this is a no-brainer and how everyone prepares radishes, but they were delicious!
Enjoy your share!
Your Farmers,
Chris, Aeros, and the Who Gang; Ben, Elliot, Lauren, Garett, Joe, and Jessica
Howdy Folks,
In the past, we've had difficulties growing nice looking cauliflower. We've been able to grow big happy cauliflower. The problem we've had is keeping a nice big white vegetable like cauliflower white in the field. It seems like when the getting is good little dark spots appear and ruin the beautiful white vegetable. The nutrition is there. The flavor is there. The dark spots are there, too. Instead of a vegetable we can offer our customers, we eat it or compost it. It seems to me to be a bit finicky so we tried our hand at growing Romanesco. Romanesco proved that it is resistant to the cauliflower spots! This was the goal and it was a good success. When compared to a traditional cauliflower, its texture is described as being far more crunchy, it's flavor is not as strong, being delicate and nutty (wikipedia).
We finally had our first freeze last weekend. It got mighty chilly, down to 28º. So get excited for some very sweet greens to come!
In your box this week:
Small: Delicata Squash, Fennel, Head Lettuce, Potatoes, Radishes, Turnips, and Romanesco
Large: Nappa Cabbage, Delicata Squash, Fennel, Garlic, Head Lettuce, Leeks, Green Peppers, Potatoes, Radishes, Rosemary, Turnips, and Romanesco
Recipe of the Week:
We get a lot of questions about Fennel. How do I prepare it? What should I do with it? Here is a selection of 25 recipes that Martha Stewarts has collected. To wet your pallet. http://www.marthastewart.com/286398/fennel-recipes/@center/1009854/winter-produce
I usually braise ours, or eat it raw in a salad, but I think I'm going to try to do a bake next. Here is something I've had on my to do list and have yet to try. Hopefully this happens this week. We are always trying to figure new ways to eat vegetables for breakfast. Maybe you are too!
Fennel Orange Muffins
1 medium seedless orange
2 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups grated fennel
2 ¼ cups flour
1 ½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
Heat Oven to 350º. Oil muffin tin. Puree orange in blender, then combine with eggs, oil, sugar, vanille, and fennel in a bowl. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt, then gently fold into wet ingredients. Do not over mix. Spoon into muffin cups; bake 20 – 25 minutes until golden brown, Makes 8 – 12 muffins.
Howdy Folks,
This is the point in the season I like to call the nitty gritty. It's the point at which the cold settles in and the vegetables just deal with it…and get beat up by it. It's the point at which we eat cold hardy vegetables lots of which end up roasted or in a soup pot. We start to see a limit in the diversity of the vegetables we harvest. We really enjoy fall! The season slows down for us. It's time to crank up the oven and prepare soups and pies and slow roasts…all the things hard to justify doing when it's 80+ degrees.
Fall to us is a very cozy time. Yesterday we harvested for a couple hours. Then the farmhands washed the produce. It was a beautiful morning. There was a bit of sun and chill together and I felt a slow growing urge to go to the local apple orchard to get apple cider and drink it hot. I didn't think I could justify the time, but then I remembered I had to send out soil samples to get analyzed. The orchard is 10 minutes from the post office….yesssssss!!! I bought a couple gallons and some apples. I cruised home and warmed it up. We all sat around holding our mugs sipping constantly until finished. I realize that I'm going to go overboard for a bit and beat this hot apple cider thing into the ground b/c I'm trying to justify some hot apple cider with every moment I should be drinking water or I have a chill or I'm going somewhere. "Wouldn't it be nice to walk with a warm cup of apple cider?" It's so easy to justify and it's incredibly delicious. The only shred of reality that restrains this desire is knowing with every large cup of cider, I consume a weeks worth of apples…in minutes!
Some employees of the East End Food Co-op visited the farm a couple days ago. All the visiting employees had never been to a vegetable farm so we had a lot to talk about. We work with the co-op throughout the seasons where we offer them vegetables such as salad turnips, radishes, pea shoots, head lettuce (when we have an abundance), sweet peppers, tomatoes, etc. The point is that we made a nice spicy vegetable soup for everyone make with all the random roots and greens and onions occupying the vegetable drawers.
I know everyone knows how to prepare winter squash. I'd like to share how we prepare the delicata. We cut the squash in half and remove the seeds. Put a little water and butter in a covered dish and bake at 350-400 degrees for about 1 hr and 20 minutes. This way the skin is delicate and edible. The seeds of all the winter squash are edible too and especially delicious. The fiber of most squash seeds are not quite as rough as the pumkin. They are delicious dry roasted in the oven. Pull apart the seed from the inner webbing and spread the seeds on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with salt. Place into a 350º preheated oven for 15 minutes and stir. They might be done after 10 minutes, or need another 10. They should be golden and crunchy!
In your box this week:
Small: Carrots, Delicata Squash, Head Lettuce, Leeks, Onions, Green Peppers, and Potatoes
Large: Bok Choi, Broccoli Raab or Kale, Carrots, Delicata Squash, Head Lettuce, Leeks, Onions, Green Peppers, Potatoes, Radishes and Turnips
Recipe of the week: Potato Leek Soup
I use the recipe from The Art of Simple Food by Alice Waters (Makes 2 quarts: 4-6 servings)
Trim off the root and and the tough upper greens from: 2 pounds of leeks
Cut the trimmed leeks in half lengthwise and slice thin. Rinse in a bowl of cold water. Lift the leeks out of the water to drain.
Melt over medium heat in a heavy bottomed pot:
3 tablespoons butter
Add the leeks along with:
2 thyme springs
1 bay leaf
Cook until soft, about 10 minutes.
Add: 1 pound yellow potatoes, peeled, halved or quartered, and sliced
Cook the potatoes for 4 minutes, then add:
6 cups of water
Bring to a boil and turn down to a simmer. Cook until the vegetables are tender, but not falling apart, about 30 minutes. When done stir in:
1/3 cup creme fraiche or heavy cream
Do not boil one the cream is added. Check the seasoning and adjust to taste. Remove the bay leaf and thyme before serving.
-Garnish with fresh-ground black pepper and some fresh chives. -For a heartier soup, use broth instead of water
-Remove the bay leaf and herb sprigs and puree the soup before stirring in the cream.
-Omit the cream, puree the soup before serving, and garnish with a pat of parsley butter.

Howdy Folks,
At this point in the season, we anticipate a pretty hard frost. This is the threshold that, for the most part, stops the growth of summer loving plants. They can be full grown with fruit ready to pick, such as peppers or tomatoes, and that can be protected for picking with row cover. Growth of these plants and the ripening of their fruit is basically done. What does this mean for us? Nothing much…. Maybe not a wise business decision, but I've quickly tired of trying to have tomatoes and peppers late in the season. It's very stressful to drag these summer loving plants into a cool fall just trying to keep them protected from frost or freezing. Disease prevention is very important and requires lots of time. It seems like everything is out to get them this time of year. Besides, there are lots of delicious nutritious vegetables that love to grow in the rapidly cooling fall. In fact, lots of them taste better after a couple frosts. Here's the kicker growing cool thriving vegetables…very little stress and lots of nutrition. Sounds like good business to me!
If you have roots accumulating in your refrigerator, make vegetable soup! You'd be surprised to find radishes and salad turnips are delicious in soup. They're delicious roasted and if you sauté them through in their greens too.
In your box this week:
Small: beets, onions, radish, turnips, watermelon, and winter squash

Hi Folks,
Happy Autumnal Equinox!
The Pig Roast has been canceled. The butcher shop where we scheduled to have the pigs processed burned to the ground this week. We are not currently planning on rescheduling the event. Instead, we are thinking of having a nice Halloween party and have it be a potluck like all our other CSA events have been in the past…games, costumes, etc! We'll give you all the details soon.
All of our fields are in transition to fall. We have pulled up all the plastic mulch for summer crops and we have a lot of our cover crops in the ground. This week we pulled out a sprinkler to water the cover crops b/c we really wanted to get these cover crops to get growing. Sometimes if feels like we are just feeding the field mice while we wait for rain. We have already seen patchy frost on the mowed grass and on the roof of the vehicles. The trees in the valley are beginning to change colors and the goldenrod blooms have gone from gold to brown.
There is a very nice element to this dry fall. All of our cleanup and final harvests have been comfortable. Usually there's lots of mud, which can be pretty difficult. Just about all the irrigation is up! All the tomato stakes are our and stacked! We have some pepper stakes and some specialty projects to finish. We feel like we're in pretty good shape, but sometimes its hard to tell.
Right now walnuts are beginning to drop. When the walnut tree looses its leaves we know we have had a hard frost. This hasn't happened yet, but it usually happens in one night. We come out to work in the morning to a special sweet smell of these Black Walnut leaves decorating the base of a naked tree. It's a sudden and graceful fall that transitions the farm into autumn.
In your box this week.
Small: Butternut Squash, Head Lettuce, Onions, Bok Choy, Sweet Peppers, Potatoes, Watermelon
Large: Beets, Broccoli, Butternut Squash, Head Lettuce, Onions, Bok Choy, Sweet Peppers, Potatoes, Scarlet Queen Turnips (also a salad turnip), Leeks, Watermelon
Your Farmers,
Chris, Aeros and the Who Gang; Ben, Elliot, Lauren, Garret, Joe and Jessica
Hi Folks,
I hope the watermelon you all received is as good as the one we ate the other day! It was very red and very sweet! We've never had melons this late in the season before… I'll tell you it adds a nice flare to the fall~ish CSA boxes.
We use tomatillos a lot of different ways. The obvious use is for salsa verde. We slice them very thin and put them in salad. They're great, too, sautéed with greens or beans or both!
We just resent the information about our upcoming pig roast just in case you can't find it in your inbox, like we couldn't. Please RSVP for the pig roast by September 26th. Given this is a home-grown sort of event, the more accurate the numbers of people coming the better we'll be prepared.
Thanks folks!
In your box this week:
Small: beets, onions, peppers, tomatillos, radish, watermelon, broccoli
Large: beets, onions, peppers, tomatillos, radish, watermelon, broccoli, delicata squash, garlic, broccoli greens, pink turnips, carrots
Your Farmers,
Chris, Aeros and the Who Gang: Ben, Elliot, Lauren, Garett, Joe and Jess
Howdy Folks,
I hope you all are taking a little time to enjoy the nice weather. Please enjoy the last of the tomatoes! We'll likely have them for one more week. We'll have watermelon next week. When I'm enjoying these melons in my mind I'll bid farewell to summer. It'll really feel like the end of it all. This is the last crop we're waiting to harvest before we return to spring like vegetables: broccoli, lettuces, cabbage, radishes, turnips, chard, kale, beets, winter squash and fall carrots.
At this time, we're rolling up irrigation and planting cover crops. We're cleaning up…finally. This season has been a little crazy. I have to catch up on somethings…I have to mow the lawn bad. The tool room has become a mish mashed collection of metal things. I love this time of year b/c I enjoy rooting through the remnants of summer. I find items I misplaced and need. We take out the garbage and recycling. We start thinking of soup and begin fermenting vegetables big time.
There is a long wrinkly red pepper in your share this week that is hot. It's not a smooth pepper and should be handled carefully.
Enjoy the winter squash! Delicata squash is the sweetest squash I've eaten by far. We like baking it in a covered dish with a little water and butter. This way you can eat the skin. If you add brown sugar to the squash, you'll turn it into a snickers bar.
In Your Box this week:
Small: Delicata Squash, Hot Peppers, Onions, Sweet Peppers, Honeyellow or Cantaloupe, Saladette Tomatoes, Heirloom Tomatoes, Slicer Tomatoes, Arugula
Large: : Delicata Squash, Hot Peppers, Onions, Sweet Peppers, Honeyellow or Cantaloupe, Saladette tomatoes, Heirloom tomatoes, Slicer tomatoes, Arugula, Cherry Tomatoes, Kale, Beets, Chard, Garlic, Radishes

Howdy Folks,
The whistle of crickets in the night and katydids in the day is a sure sign of late summer. Also the colors that fill the tree lines beside the fields are beginning to show signs of the colorful Autumn that is soon to come.
Our days are still filled mostly with harvests, cleaning and packing! The overlap of summer into fall plantings is the exact opposite from spring. In spring we always feel like there is a lag between the two with a few weeks of waiting before summer veggies come in. Since the weather was cooler this August we were able to fill this gap a little bit with early fall plantings, that will soon be coming on. In this last weekend and earlier in the week we planted out and our final fall crops. some Spinach, Arugula, Bok Choy, Cabbage and Tatsoi. We have just a few more things that we'll be direct seeding soon, but for the most part the plantings of the year are complete. We're getting closer to putting some of the fields to sleep for the winter with a nice cozy cover crop. As we are now finding time to pull up plastic mulch from beds previously used in the season.
I want to plant a seed in your mind to see if your schedule would allow for you to attend our first annual pig roast. Our tentative date is Sunday September 28th. We still have a lot of organizing to do in order for us to make this event as fun as we want it to be, but just so you know the plans are in the works.
Next week you all will start getting Delicata Squash. It's a delicious winter squash that we always look forward to each season. We're really excited that it's the best harvest we've had in a long while.
In your share this week:
Small Share: Beets, Cilantro, Head Lettuce or Kale, Onions, Peppers, Cantaloupe or Honeyellow (a cross between Cantaloupe and a honeydew), Heirloom Tomatoes, Neato Tomatoes

Howdy Folks,
It's harvest mania right now! We got sweet peppers, tomatoes, tomatillos! We got melons, cantaloupe and, in a little bit, watermelon! At this time of year, harvests are longer and heavier. They're a little easier than early summer harvests. Although harvest days are longer and totes heavier, late summer harvests are easier on the mind. It works like this: every other day we harvest peppers, tomatoes, summer squash, cucumbers etc. When its time to get peppers we go get'em. That's it. The quantities we harvest are determined by ripeness and not by demand. Although there are no breaks from number crunching, this time of the year offers, in the least, a short time where it's just time to harvest…so get movin!
This time of year offers a clear vision regarding fall harvests. I like being able to look down the road and figure just what we'll have for everyone come September and October. It's a bit unnerving when something isn't doing well, but it's very satisfying to see broccoli looking great when we had a terrible broccoli crop in spring (broccoli fed voles anyone?). At this time of year, we anticipate harvests and availability of crops, but there are little hidden obstacles best preempted if possible that can change everything. Aphids! Ever see 600 feet of salad turnips vanish? Once it cooled in July, I got nervous and started planting cool season vegetables. I noticed the turnips looking sad and with further inspection there they were….millions of them. Aphids! The bed is not salvageable at that point. We usually buy ladybugs to combat the aphids and we forgot to buy them. Yesterday I released 18000 ladybugs into an infested area and the ladybugs immediately went to work. Downy Mildew is another beast that dominates vegetable farms, particularly organic vegetable farms. We can't really control it so it's a bit of a gamble. Obviously, late blights on peppers, tomatoes is terrible and so too is powdery mildew on squash and melon plants. Although always a bit of a disaster, it's the same thing every year. They arrive and vegetables die. Guess what? They're here!
Fall harvests are looking pretty good right now. We'll have lots of beets, carrots and winter squash for everyone. Winter squash gathering begins today!
In your box this week:
Large Share: Carrots, Celery, Onions, Sweet Peppers, Melon, Red and Heirloom Tomatoes and Cherry Tomatoes
Small Share: Carrots, Celery, Onions, Sweet Peppers, Melon, Red and Heirloom Tomatoes and Cherry Tomatoes, Cantaloupe, Summer Squash, Beets or Tomatillos, Garlic and Pea Shoots

Vodafone has sold its stake in China Mobile for almost double the amount it paid to acquire it 10 years ago.
The UK-based mobile network provider has sold its 3.2 per cent share in China's largest mobile network carrier China Mobile for $6.5 billion, Bloomberg has reported.
Vodafone sold 643 million shares, one of the biggest non-strategic disinvestments made by the company, at a discount of 3.4 per cent on the market price.
"Today's transaction achieves a near doubling of Vodafone's original investment in China Mobile and combines our stated portfolio strategy with ongoing co-operation with China's leading telecommunications company," said Vittorio Colao, chief executive officer of Vodafone.
According to Colao, Vodafone plans to use nearly 70 per cent of the $6.5 billion to buy its own shares back from shareholders, while 30 per cent will be used to help pay its debt.
The company has not revealed any further details about the deal, and to whom it has sold the shares to.
Vodafone and China Mobile will continue to work together for roaming, network roadmap development, international customers and green technology.

While most of us can think of better ways to end sex than with a snore – am I right, ladies?! – the two are actually closely linked. And while I'd never dream of wishing sleepiness on anyone in the throes of passion, I do definitely like the fact that sex can be good for you on a whole new level.
Sex can help you sleep. Sleeping makes you happier, healthier and more productive. Don't believe me? See what these guys have to say about the importance of sleep.
Glad you asked. Now I can segway smoothly into the science part.
Here we go:
1. It lets those hormones fly
I know, usually we view haphazard hormones as a bad thing, right?! Every month we find ourselves caught between clinging onto our partner for affection and wanting to slap him across the face whenever he opens his mouth. Hormones, we remind ourselves, safe in the knowledge that we're not batshit crazy.
But in this case, the hormone that is released during sex – oxytocin – is definitely A Good Thing. It helps you feel closer to your partner, more secure and more comfortable in settling down for a great night's sleep. Zzzzz…
Sex also lowers levels of another hormone called cortisol. This bad boy is related to stress – we'll all have been flooded with it any time we're late for work, miss a deadline or about to face a confrontation that we dread. It pumps us with too much adrenaline and we end up with that sick feeling in our stomachs that's so much worse than butterflies.
We definitely don't want our cortisol levels creeping up at night-time, filling our minds with anxiety and worry about trivial things. Best way to avoid it? That's right, destressing with sex! In fact, sex plays such an important part in our hormone levels that it may be a cure for insomnia. Worth a try, in my book.
2. You've followed the white rabbit
In this case, the white rabbit being an orgasm. Back on the hormone buzz, when you orgasm you release another hormone called prolactin. It makes you feel relaxed and sleepy, leading you to a peaceful and drowsy state and right on to la-la land.
Imagine, an explosive orgasm followed by an epic sleep. Sure what more could you want?
How about this for a cherry on the top: sex boosts estrogen levels in women. This enhances our REM stage and basically gives us a deeper sleep.
Now, if only we ladies could figure out how to go from orgasm to unconsciousness in ten seconds flat – that pretty French term so aptly called le petit mort. Answers on a postcard, boys… 😉
3. It gives you a workout
Pretty obvious really, but something we often forget – sex is a form of exercise. Sexercise, if you will. That's right, a workout we actually look forward to! Hallelujah.
You've gotten a good stretch, you've built up a sweat, you've had your heart racing – now it's time for a cool down. Relax, breathe deeply and soon sleep will be your reward for all your hard work. (And the sex was, too. Obvs.)
4. The system works in reverse
More sex brings you more sleep. And guess what? More sleep increases your sex drive, leading to – you got it – more sex.
Finally, a so-called vicious circle I can live with.
So why does more sleep increase your sex drive? It ain't rocket science, but it does bring up another question relating to sleep and sex: can sleep – or a lack thereof – affect your libido?
The answer is yes. Because when you don't get enough sleep, you can become cranky, irritable and critical. Not exactly the elements of seduction. And if your partner somehow finds your craziness arousing – which trust me, does happen – the last thing you'll feel like if you're wrecked is that workout we mentioned earlier.
My advice? Go along with it the first time, even if you're tired. You'll sleep better afterwards, your libido will start to wake up again and very soon you'll be the one making bedroom eyes.
Is it bed-time yet?!
Nearly. But you know what, it doesn't have to be. Now that you know how good sex is for sleep – and therefore, for your overall health – you don't need to limit yourself to nightly encounters. Morning sex is the world's way of telling us to be late for work. And they don't call it afternoon delight for nothing.
However often you have sex – don't make me jealous – it all counts. You'll be a calmer, confident and happier person. One who's able to actually fall asleep early and to wake up feeling rejuvenated, ready to go again.
You get all the benefits of great sex, plus the added bonus of a sound, deep sleep.
Sweet dreams. xoxox

You could make this a vegan recipe buy leaving out the eggs. You should be able to find some good ones at your market that are free range and haven't been fed any antibiotics.
On the farm tour we went on a month or so ago, we saw some true free range chickens fertilizing the fields for the organic veggies that would be grown there later in the year. What a great way to recycle!
Vegetarian Fried Rice
Serves 2
- 2 cups long grain brown rice – use leftover rice cold from the fridge
- 2 heirloom carrots cut in small pieces (I used one burgundy and one yellow)
- Handful of fresh green beans, ends trimmed cut in small pieces
- 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper (I used red and green)
- 1/2 onion minced (sweet onion is always good)
- 1 clove garlic minced (or use 1 cube Trader Joe's frozen garlic)
- 1t ginger minced
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 handful pea (frozen or fresh)
- 2 Tbl. soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1/2 cup veggie broth or filtered water
- optional: 3Tbl. soy ginger sauce (I used whole food's brand)
In a large non-stick pan heat up a few Tbls of water and add onion once pan is hot. Once the onion are translucent add garlic and pepper cook for about 3 minutes more.
Then add carrots, green beans, ginger and the rest of the broth/water. Cover and let veggies steam over medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
Uncover and let almost all of the water cook off, push veggies to form an outer circle around the pan. This is so you can cook the eggs in the middle.
Add eggs and keep stirring them until almost done. Some will get into the veggies, but don't worry about that – you're going to mix everything up in just a minute anyhow.
Add soy sauce (and soy ginger sauce if using) and mix the egg into the vegetables. Add the pre-made rice. Cook until rice is warm making sure all ingredients are mixed well.
I served with some grilled thai marinated tofu.

In front of the famous "I AMsterdam" sign
Of course, we stopped at quite a few museums including the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijks Museum, the Rembrandt House, and the Anne Frank House. Van Gogh is one of my favorite painters, so I thoroughly enjoyed seeing many of his works including "The Potato Eaters" and "Crows in a wheat field." Van Gogh sure did love a good wheat field every now and again. The museum was four floors taking viewers on a journey of the progression of Van Gogh's art. The Rijks Museum carries a wide variety of paintings including many famous ones like "The Night Watch" by Rembrandt, "The Milkmaid" by Vermeer, and a YSL dress inspired by a Mondrian. The Rembrandt House is a model of the home the artist lived in, each room a vignette of his life. The last museum of the trip was the Anne Frank, the highlight of the trip for me. It was an incredibly moving experience to see a place I read and learned about in school in reality. Stepping into this piece of history overwhelmed me when I though about the suffering of the Frank family and that this was the last place they were all together before being sent to the camps. Nothing can describe what going to the Anne Frank house meant to me, only that it was the highlight of my trip for sure.
With Van Gogh
Selfie with "The Night Watch"
Amsterdam is a gorgeous city built around canals. Even in the rain, Amsterdam is stunning and I feel in love after an hour of being there. Of course, there are hoards of people riding bikes or pedestrians attempting to shield themselves from the rain. To avoid the rain, I kept stopping into cafes to warm up. My favorite was called De Laaste Kruimel or The Last Crumb. It was incredibly cozy inside and it resembled and Anthropologie catalog mixed with a typical French cafe. I actually ate there on Saturday and Sunday to get goat cheese quiche or a goat cheese sandwich (goat cheese was recurring this weekend as I also ate it on a salad one night).
Inside De Laaste Kruimel
A good chunk of my trip revolved around one thing:clogs. When I think of Amsterdam, I think of wheels of orange cheese and bright, yellow wooden clogs. Granted, no one in the Netherlands actually wears these clogs, but I wanted to see them nonetheless. Before coming to Leuven, my parents gave me a charm bracelet to fill, so in Amsterdam I was on the hunt for a silver clog charm which I found without any difficulty. Searching for charms has been a fun activity for me when I travel, so I enjoyed the hunt in a souvenir shop in Amsterdam. On top of buying a clog, I sat in a gigantic clog for the perfect photo op!
My gigantic yellow Clog
Even in the rain, the canals, complete with fall foliage and bikes, are stunning!

The 57th BFI London Film Festival will closing with Saving Mr Banks, starring Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson.
London's hugely successful festival closes on Sunday 20 October with the premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square with Disney's SAVING MR. BANKS. The story of the 1964 Walt Disney film – Mary Poppins – based on the P.L. Travers book. This film will unveil the extraordinary untold story of how Mary Poppins was brought to the big screen.
John Lee Hancock, Emma Thompson and Tom Hanks are all expected to attend the Closing Night Gala.
Clare Stewart, BFI Head of Exhibition and Festival Director says: "There is only one word that gives full expression to the inventiveness and creativity of the film that will be our Closing Night Gala for the 57th BFI London Film Festival – SAVING MR. BANKS is supercalifragilisticexpialidoc
Producer Alison Owen adds: "SAVING MR. BANKS is very much about British manners versus American values, as Pamela Travers and Walt Disney battle over the rights to Mary Poppins, so it feels absolutely fitting that the LFF Closing Night should be our European Premiere, and we feel very honoured. We hope Pamela Travers would approve wholeheartedly. We filmed the London sequences in the street where Pamela lived, and London was both the start of the journey for Mary Poppins and for our movie, so we feel like we're beginning in the right place."
SAVING MR. BANKS is a poignant, sharply funny and moving story of personal journey and discovery, which reveals how P.L. Travers' emotional connection to her characters and exhaustive apprehension to Walt Disney's creative vision nearly dismantled the entire twenty-year endeavour to transform a work of personal significance into one of the most endearing classic films in cinematic history. The film is directed by John Lee Hancock, produced by Alison Owen, Ian Collie and Philip Steuer, and written by Kelly Marcel and Sue Smith. Walt Disney Studios releases the film in UK cinemas winter 2013.

Most Relevant Verses
Now it came about after these things that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel beside the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
Now it happened after many days that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, "Go, show yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the face of the earth." So Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria. Ahab called Obadiah who was over the household (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly;read more.
for when Jezebel destroyed the prophets of the LORD, Obadiah took a hundred prophets and hid them by fifties in a cave, and provided them with bread and water.) Then Ahab said to Obadiah, "Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys; perhaps we will find grass and keep the horses and mules alive, and not have to kill some of the cattle." So they divided the land between them to survey it; Ahab went one way by himself and Obadiah went another way by himself.
The king of Assyria brought men from Babylon and from Cuthah and from Avva and from Hamath and Sephar-vaim, and settled them in the cities of Samaria in place of the sons of Israel. So they possessed Samaria and lived in its cities.
Josiah also removed all the houses of the high places which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made provoking the LORD; and he did to them just as he had done in Bethel.
"Again you will plant vineyards On the hills of Samaria; The planters will plant And will enjoy them.
Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against him, and Hoshea became his servant and paid him tribute. But the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea, who had sent messengers to So king of Egypt and had offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year; so the king of Assyria shut him up and bound him in prison. Then the king of Assyria invaded the whole land and went up to Samaria and besieged it three years.
In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria captured Samaria and carried Israel away into exile to Assyria, and settled them in Halah and Habor, on the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. Now this came about because the sons of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them up from the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and they had feared other gods and walked in the customs of the nations whom the LORD had driven out before the sons of Israel, and in the customs of the kings of Israel which they had introduced.read more.
The sons of Israel did things secretly which were not right against the LORD their God. Moreover, they built for themselves high places in all their towns, from watchtower to fortified city. They set for themselves sacred pillars and Asherim on every high hill and under every green tree, and there they burned incense on all the high places as the nations did which the LORD had carried away to exile before them; and they did evil things provoking the LORD. They served idols, concerning which the LORD had said to them, "You shall not do this thing." Yet the LORD warned Israel and Judah through all His prophets and every seer, saying, "Turn from your evil ways and keep My commandments, My statutes according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you through My servants the prophets." However, they did not listen, but stiffened their neck like their fathers, who did not believe in the LORD their God. They rejected His statutes and His covenant which He made with their fathers and His warnings with which He warned them And they followed vanity and became vain, and went after the nations which surrounded them, concerning which the LORD had commanded them not to do like them. They forsook all the commandments of the LORD their God and made for themselves molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah and worshiped all the host of heaven and served Baal. Then they made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, and practiced divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him. So the LORD was very angry with Israel and removed them from His sight; none was left except the tribe of Judah.
Then the king of Assyria carried Israel away into exile to Assyria, and put them in Halah and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes, because they did not obey the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed His covenant, even all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded; they would neither listen nor do it.
they approached Zerubbabel and the heads of fathers' households, and said to them, "Let us build with you, for we, like you, seek your God; and we have been sacrificing to Him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assyria, who brought us up here." Now when the enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the people of the exile were building a temple to the LORD God of Israel, But Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the rest of the heads of fathers' households of Israel said to them, "You have nothing in common with us in building a house to our God; but we ourselves will together build to the LORD God of Israel, as King Cyrus, the king of Persia has commanded us."read more.
Then the people of the land discouraged the people of Judah, and frightened them from building, and hired counselors against them to frustrate their counsel all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.
At the beginning of their living there, they did not fear the LORD; therefore the LORD sent lions among them which killed some of them. So they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, "The nations whom you have carried away into exile in the cities of Samaria do not know the custom of the god of the land; so he has sent lions among them, and behold, they kill them because they do not know the custom of the god of the land." Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, "Take there one of the priests whom you carried away into exile and let him go and live there; and let him teach them the custom of the god of the land."read more.
So one of the priests whom they had carried away into exile from Samaria came and lived at Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD. But every nation still made gods of its own and put them in the houses of the high places which the people of Samaria had made, every nation in their cities in which they lived. The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima, and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech the gods of Sepharvaim. They also feared the LORD and appointed from among themselves priests of the high places, who acted for them in the houses of the high places. They feared the LORD and served their own gods according to the custom of the nations from among whom they had been carried away into exile. To this day they do according to the earlier customs: they do not fear the LORD, nor do they follow their statutes or their ordinances or the law, or the commandments which the LORD commanded the sons of Jacob, whom He named Israel; with whom the LORD made a covenant and commanded them, saying, "You shall not fear other gods, nor bow down yourselves to them nor serve them nor sacrifice to them. "But the LORD, who brought you up from the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, Him you shall fear, and to Him you shall bow yourselves down, and to Him you shall sacrifice. "The statutes and the ordinances and the law and the commandment which He wrote for you, you shall observe to do forever; and you shall not fear other gods. "The covenant that I have made with you, you shall not forget, nor shall you fear other gods. "But the LORD your God you shall fear; and He will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies." However, they did not listen, but they did according to their earlier custom. So while these nations feared the LORD, they also served their idols; their children likewise and their grandchildren, as their fathers did, so they do to this day.
So the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, and as far as Zebulun, but they laughed them to scorn and mocked them. Nevertheless some men of Asher, Manasseh and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
Now Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover to the LORD God of Israel.
They came to Hilkiah the high priest and delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites, the doorkeepers, had collected from Manasseh and Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah and Benjamin and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Now it happened on the next day after the killing of Gedaliah, when no one knew about it, that eighty men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria with their beards shaved off and their clothes torn and their bodies gashed, having grain offerings and incense in their hands to bring to the house of the LORD.
Now in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, they wrote an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.
"Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." "You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. Therefore the Samaritan woman said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)read more.
And He had to pass through Samaria. So He came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph; and Jacob's well was there. So Jesus, being wearied from His journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour. There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink." For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." She said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; where then do You get that living water? "You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?" Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw." He said to her, "Go, call your husband and come here." The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You have correctly said, 'I have no husband'; for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly." The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us." Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am He." At this point His disciples came, and they were amazed that He had been speaking with a woman, yet no one said, "What do You seek?" or, "Why do You speak with her?" So the woman left her waterpot, and went into the city and said to the men, "Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?" They went out of the city, and were coming to Him.
When the days were approaching for His ascension, He was determined to go to Jerusalem; and He sent messengers on ahead of Him, and they went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him. But they did not receive Him, because He was traveling toward Jerusalem.read more.
When His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?" But He turned and rebuked them, [and said, "You do not know what kind of spirit you are of; for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them."] And they went on to another village.
These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: "Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans; but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
While He was on the way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee. As He entered a village, ten leprous men who stood at a distance met Him; and they raised their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"read more.
When He saw them, He said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they were going, they were cleansed. Now one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice, and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus answered and said, "Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine--where are they? "Was no one found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?" And He said to him, "Stand up and go; your faith has made you well."
Jesus replied and said, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. "And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. "Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.read more.
"But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. "On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.' "Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers' hands?" And he said, "The one who showed mercy toward him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do the same."
but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."
Saul was in hearty agreement with putting him to death And on that day a great persecution began against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
Therefore, those who had been scattered went about preaching the word. Philip went down to the city of Samaria and began proclaiming Christ to them. The crowds with one accord were giving attention to what was said by Philip, as they heard and saw the signs which he was performing.read more.
For in the case of many who had unclean spirits, they were coming out of them shouting with a loud voice; and many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed. So there was much rejoicing in that city. Now there was a man named Simon, who formerly was practicing magic in the city and astonishing the people of Samaria, claiming to be someone great; and they all, from smallest to greatest, were giving attention to him, saying, "This man is what is called the Great Power of God." And they were giving him attention because he had for a long time astonished them with his magic arts. But when they believed Philip preaching the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were being baptized, men and women alike. Even Simon himself believed; and after being baptized, he continued on with Philip, and as he observed signs and great miracles taking place, he was constantly amazed.
Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them Peter and John, who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. For He had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.read more.
Then they began laying their hands on them, and they were receiving the Holy Spirit.
So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria enjoyed peace, being built up; and going on in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it continued to increase.

The king of Assyria brought men from Babylon and from Cuthah and from Avva and from Hamath and Sephar-vaim, and settled them in the cities of Samaria in place of the sons of Israel. So they possessed Samaria and lived in its cities.
From that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me all the things that I have done."
Therefore the Samaritan woman said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
He spoke in the presence of his brothers and the wealthy men of Samaria and said, "What are these feeble Jews doing? Are they going to restore it for themselves? Can they offer sacrifices? Can they finish in a day? Can they revive the stones from the dusty rubble even the burned ones?"
These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: "Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans;
Samaritans » Philip did a successful work among them
Philip went down to the city of Samaria and began proclaiming Christ to them. The crowds with one accord were giving attention to what was said by Philip, as they heard and saw the signs which he was performing. For in the case of many who had unclean spirits, they were coming out of them shouting with a loud voice; and many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed. read more.
So there was much rejoicing in that city.

Seriously.. this is "somewhere" in Escondido, but I couldn't tell you exactly where. This backyard style wedding reception was held on some private property owned by the family of the Bride. The place was really beautiful on this spring day back in April of 2015. Last year, you say? Yes, but don't let that put you off. The fun, whimsical little details of this Carnival themed wedding reception are definitely worth having a look at, especially if you're thinking of doing something similar for your own reception.
You might be thinking, "What about the ceremony?"
Well, when the wedding is on one day and the reception is two weeks later, and both are happening about 900 miles away, making the trip twice isn't really doable for most folks. So when I told my brother I could only make it to one or the other and asked him which he would prefer I attend, he said without hesitation, "The party, of course!"
The Bride and Groom are Jason and Kelley. Jason is a recent graduate of the UCLA school of theater and film. Kelley is the artist and owner of Kellsworth Ink, located in Orange County, California. Kelley is an extremely talented artist, and does custom art creations of various sorts. See those adorable wooden cake-topper statuettes above? She hand-painted those. In fact, every little artistic bit of detail you will see in this post was created by Kelley; the programs, the table decor, the signs, the large wooden photo prop cut-out, the stationery... if I remember correctly, she even made her own dress and hair embellishments. If you'd like to order your own custom hand-painted cake toppers, you can get in touch with Kelley on {Facebook} or check out her shop on {Etsy}.
And now, some photos of the silly couple:
"Mutual Weirdness" indeed.
Just inside the entrance to the Reception area were these adorable programs. The outer covers were colorful, carnival themed drawings of the happy couple while the inside of the programs had love letters -- one from Jason to Kelley, and one from Kelley to Jason. Sooooooo cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute.
More hand-created bits of awesome from the bride. That photo cutout prop was a big hit!
I loved all the bits of red and white throughout the decor of this Carnival reception. The way Kelley planned out the coloring really ties the whole event together.
The tables each had mason jar drink glasses with chalk-board labels affixed to them, and pieces of red and white chalk so that guests could write their names on their glasses. Every table also had a small framed chalkboard, each one with a different saying written on it in white chalkboard paint. What a fantastic idea, right?!
Other little details on the reception tables included red gumball machines, brown paper bags of peanuts, pints of fresh red strawberries and small glass jars with sand and tea light candles.
I absolutely adore the red and white striped straws, and the striped twine and ribbon on the peanut bags. The little red Carnival tickets are such a perfect finishing touch.
Everything was set up underneath a large white tent, and thank goodness for that because it was pretty toasty outside even though it was only April. The signs and garland pictured above were of course made by the Bride! :)
How cool is this?? The guests loved having this retro popcorn station at the reception.
There was plenty of ice cold beverage options to keep everyone cool and comfortable.
Jason and Kelley kept the catering simple and easy, yet crowd-pleasing at the same time. Relatives set up and ran their hot dog station and everybody LOVED it. All of the fixin's were there--Mustard, Ketchup, BBQ sauce, Deli Mustard, and even a slow cooker full of Chili to top it off. Little ears of roasted corn on the cob (on a stick!) made a great hot option for a side dish.
These individual potato salad cups and macaroni and cheese cups were a great idea for a cold side option, along with an assortment of fresh veggies and chilled watermelon wedges.
The sweets table was truly spectacular! Consistent with the Carnival theme, sweets included cotton candy, Cracker Jacks, taffy, red vines, pixie stix and swirl pops. There were also candy buttons and circus animal cookies, and cute little striped containers to take a treat home. Love!!!
I like to find interesting little ways to incorporate something from the wedding day into the ring shots, and these colorful swirl pops were just perfect for that!
Instead of cupcakes or cake, Jason and Kelley opted for an assortment of pies and candy apples for dessert. A tower of frosted doughnuts with sprinkles replaced the traditional wedding cake.
This Carnival themed reception was a big success, and I loved all the little details! Being able to be there and to document this special occasion for my brother was well worth the 30+ hour drive to San Diego. Thanks for having us, guys! Happy Anniversary!

Kodak chief executive Jeff Clarke has called for "immediate action" to cut costs, including shedding 425 jobs, after the company's Q3 results revealed losses of $46m.
For the three months to 30 September 2017, Kodak posted a net loss of $46m (£35.1m), compared with a net profit of $12m this time last year. Revenue slipped 7.8%, from $411m to $379m, and operational EBITDA was down 21%, from $43m to $34m.
In a conference call yesterday afternoon (8 November), Clarke highlighted four key areas in which the business was struggling and announced the 425 job losses, including 100 at its Rochester headquarters.
Clarke said: "Our results are being impacted by a slowdown in the commercial print industry, delays to markets for key programmes and investment in our advance materials and 3D Printing Division, a longer sales cycle for brand licensing transactions and higher costs in our film business.
"We are implementing decisive actions to address these factors."
Clarke broke down the predicted loss impact on Kodak's final year results as being $18m due to a the slowdown in commercial print resulting in deferred or cancelled orders, and rising aluminium costs, impacting plate margins; $8m for being behind plans in the commercialisation of advanced materials; $7m due to a longer sales cycle for brand transactions; and $5m due to higher costs in the film division.
Kodak's predicted EBITDA for the full year has therefore been revised down to between $60m and $65m from Q2's $90 to $105m, while revenue targets remain at $1.5bn to $1.6bn.
To improve, Kodak has already initiated a 4% to 9% plate price increase, is continuing to accelerate cost actions, which will result in $45m of savings and the loss of the 425 staff, reduced investment in its 3D division, and is initiating a reduction in the number of general investments and the elimination of certain sales programmes that "no longer fit in".
Clarke said Kodak will continue to invest heavily in flexo packaging applications, plate development, Prinergy software and Ultrastream inkjet development, which has remained with the business after Kodak reversed its decision to sell earlier this year.
"We are actively pursuing divestiture and monetisation opportunities, which will meaningfully change the Kodak portfolio," he added.
"We are in advanced negotiations with parties for joint partnership. Based on the sensitive nature of negotiations we are not able to comment further on specific business, partners or timelines related to these strategic activities."
In its Print Systems Division, Kodak posted a fall in revenues of 7.2% to $232m (2016: $250m), while operational EBITDA was down 51.9% to $13m (2016: $27m), with the decline in the main put down to pricing pressures. Sonora plate volumes increased 24%, now accounting for 19% of the division's total plate unit sales.
In its Enterprise Inkjet Systems Division (EISD), revenues were again down, slipping from $47m to $33m (29.8%). However, EBITDA returned to the black at $1m, compared with -$8m in Q3 2016. The Prosper business was said to have delivered solid performance.
The Flexographic Packaging Division, which incorporates Kodak's Flexcel NX systems and plates as well as other packaging businesses, posted flat revenues and EBITDA of $34m and $7m respectively.
At time of writing, Kodak's share price was stable at $5.15, having slipped dramatically on 25 October when it fell from $7.30 to $5.62, the same day it issued a statement saying that it was seeking developers for an area of its Rochester Eastman Business Park opposite the renovated Kodak Center.

Please watch this little girl's love for music grow….with one little tip!
Sale will be held Thursday June 21st from 9am-4pm
830 El Chorro Way Sacramento 95864
This bio was lovingly shared by daughter Betty Ross
Our parents, David and Helen Ross, were married for 47 years but if it were not for WW II their paths would never have crossed. David was born in 1912 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Canada. His American born parents were on their way to the Alaskan Gold Rush. 4 children later they were in Calgary, Alberta. They stayed there until our father was in junior high school. His school is still standing there. The next move was to Vancouver, BC and 4 more children were born. He graduated at age 16 and moved by himself to Washington to live with an uncle.
He wound up in Los Angeles and began working as a drug salesman for Brunswig Drug Company. He also had the time to indulge his golf passion and won some tournaments. He was one of the first men called up for the draft and enlisted in the Army. He was stationed at Fort Ord and was on the golf course when the sirens rang and the course was cleared. Pearl Harbor had been bombed and now the U.S. was at war. He was assigned to the medical unit to be in charge of the medical supplies, a job he had for the duration of the war. He was assigned to Taunton, England at an army base in 1942 where he met our mother.
Helen was born in 1916 in Washington, DC the oldest of 3 children. Her father came from a musical family and he was a well known band director for the Catholic schools in the area. His father and brother ran a music studio out of their home. One of the ironies of life is that years later a granddaughter would live in a brownstone directly across from where her Grandmother had lived! The family lived in the city and Helen graduated from Catholic University in 1938. After working a couple of years for the government she joined the Red Cross and was transferred to the same base in Taunton where they met. Years later she and her daughter went back and saw the same living room where this meeting occurred.
Helen's job was to organize dances for the GI's on base. They would bus the women in from the nearby towns, have the social, and then get them back home before the blackouts. Her letters described him as "my main thrill" and they would spend as much time together on leave as they could. They were married at St. Andrews, Scotland in March 1944 as my father was aware an invasion of France would be eminent. He was involved in D-Day plus 10 as he had the medical supplies. A month later my mother and another Red Cross worker arrived in Grandcamp (near Point deHoc) to set up social center but the fighting had not stopped in St. Lo. There was no electricity or hot water at the time. She did meet Ernie Pyle, the war correspondent. We were able to return to that area for the 50th celebration of D-Day and a year later to revisit the area again.
Marriages were not allowed by the Red Cross workers and also the military, so when she discovered she was pregnant in September she resigned and returned home to live in her family home. We have over 100 letters from our father anxious about her health, the new baby, etc. and expressing frustration at the slow delivery of mail. He was discharged in Sept. 1945 and came to DC to briefly stay there before taking the train to Los Angeles to continue with his employment at Brunswig. He was required to be in the Army Reserves for 5 years.
This began a new chapter in their lives. A second child was born in December 1946. They moved to Pasadena a block from the Rose Parade. He was promoted to manager in the new Sacramento office in 1951. They moved to a starter home on Fitch Way. A third child was born in 1951. Our father decided a bigger home was needed when he could not use the bathroom when he needed with 5 in the family and so they moved to this home. It was the developer's home in 1949 and then our home. Only 2 families have occupied this home. Dad grew an orchard in the back which produced fruit for years.
They involved themselves in the community. They were one of the founding families of the new St. Ignatius Church and charter member of the North Ridge Country club. Our mother's natural ability to work well with people and Red Cross skills helped to be involved in Scouts and social groups. They had varied interests as our father loved golf, music, and photography. Our mother loved jewelry and antiques!
He retired in 1969 and bought a muffler company and then founded his own security company. Our mother was able to travel more during this time with her daughter. He had to finally retire in 1981 due to poor health but could still enjoy cruises and especially his grandchildren. He died in 1991. It was an adjustment for Mom but fortunately her daughter in law was able to fill a void for her by assisting and accompanying her to her social groups. Mom broke her hip at age 86 and stayed with her daughter until her passing in her own home at 96. We still miss our parents very much.
The grandchildren continued to visit the house and have done so well into their twenties. It has as much meaning for them as it does for us. Two generations have been in this house but now it is time for a new family to occupy the home. We hope they will have the happiness this home brought all of us, and hopefully may also have grandchildren to share it.
Enjoy the shopping experience that Jennie and her crew have created for you!
Below is a taste of what you can expect to find at El Chorro for next Thursday!

AU resolves to mark the Mandela Centenary
The African Union (AU) has adopted a decision to commemorate the centenary of South Africa's first post-apartheid President, Nelson Mandela. The.year 2018 is the year of Nelson Mandela in South Africa and President Jacob Zuma used the opportunity created by the gathering of heads of state in Ethiopia to lobby them to also honour Mandela this year.
Upon his return on Tuesday, Zuma said he was delighted that the AU embraced the decision to mark the centenary Mandela.
"We were pleased to see the warmth with which our fellow Africans received the message about commemorating Madiba's centenary. This once again shows that Africa is ready to preserve Madiba's legacy of pan-African solidarity as well as peace and reconciliation," the South African president said.
At a dinner Zuma hosted to honour Mandela in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, last Saturday, he told fellow African leaders that the Nelson Mandela Centenary is a perfect opportunity for leaders of the continent to share ideas on how to positively change the prevailing human condition in Africa and beyond.
This dinner was held on the sidelines of the 30th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union (AU) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Zuma said Mandela viewed life through a prism of hope as he negotiated the trials and tribulations of his life to ultimately become "a colossus of our day. His life story is a classic example of the triumph of the human spirit".
"Mandela was an ordinary human being who was compelled by the unjust conditions of his life in a country of his forebears to dedicate his entire life to the emancipation of his people from the manacles of a brutal political and socio-economic system. His bravery in the face of calamity inspires all of us to give our all and fight for justice whenever it is trampled upon," Zuma told guests who included representatives from other African countries.
It is at this dinner that Zuma made an appeal to the AU to adopt the year 2018 as the year of the centenary of Nelson Mandela.
"The year 2018 presents an opportunity for Africa and humanity as a whole to remember the legacy of this great icon, and to reflect on how we can make a meaningful contribution to promoting the ideals, principles and values that President Mandela stood for, ideals that were informed by Africa's quest for freedom and prosperity.
"Today's event marks the beginning of a year-long programme featuring different events that will be taking place in South Africa, Africa and the world, all in honour of the legacy of this great son of the soil. The theme for the Centenary is "Be the Legacy". We are called upon to bring his legacy to life in our places of abode, work, leadership, business and in our interactions with other fellow human beings," Zuma said.
The President said despite his greatness and international popularity, Mandela was an ordinary human being who elected to do extraordinary things with his life.
"The fact that he is no longer amongst us is testimony to the reality that he, like all of us, was a mere mortal. Despite his humility, his legacy is a testament to the greatness that men and women can achieve when they put immeasurable effort to the realization of their vision. History abounds with legends that recount the bravery of men and women who have made a contribution so significant to humanity that it seems unreal. Generations to come will read about a man from the southern tip of Africa, who inspired a generation to claim its freedom from the grasp of a barbaric and callous oppressor, and proclaimed a vision of a caring society underpinned by the values of respect for human rights, freedom, service, equality and justice, while seeing unity as a weapon for victory.
At its January 8 celebrations in East London last month, the ANC declared 2018 the Year of Nelson Mandela under the theme: "100 years of Nelson Mandela: The year of unity, renewal and jobs".
Zuma added that Mandela remains the epitome of peace, hope, humility and reconciliation.
"He stands as an embodiment of the highest standards of the African Union as an organisation upon which the people of Africa look for inspired hope. We dare not linger. The bar is set high. Ours is to "Be the Legacy" and actualise Madiba's vision of a peaceful, stable and prosperous Africa," he said.
The South African President reminded African leaders that the continent is now home to more than a billion people, most of whom are young and deserve a better life.
"It is true that African leaders took the baton from Madiba and introduced robust and innovative policies and programmes to expedite the development of the continent. Agenda 2063 is our flagship programme that can unleash the continent's potential and bring about hope and prosperity to all. I appeal to all of you, fellow leaders of our peoples, to consolidate our efforts and contribute to the upliftment of our people.
"Like Madiba, we are hopeful that the day will come when Africa will be freed of the scourge of conflict and underdevelopment and focus its energies and resources on the creation of a better and sustainable livelihood for all".
Then AU Chairperson, Alpha Condé, encouraged his fellow African leaders to emulate Mandela
"That is why by nurturing the memory of Madiba is an example that many African leaders have to follow. Because at the same time the future generations will learn from it about his integrity and the courage of this leader," Condé said.

One time I made marshmallows and there was a double boiler involved and that made me angry. Three different stages of temperature control and heating and cooling took place and by the end of it all, I decided I'd never, ever make them again.

Here's the thing about happiness: The pursuit of it can be a real bummer. We're inundated with messaging on how to get it and keep it, but the endless options can be a confusing mess.
We're told to produce endorphins via exercise, but also to listen to our bodies. We're told to eat what we want, but not stuff that makes us feel bad. We're also told that money can't buy it. And yet a new study published in the science journal Nature begs to differ. Sort of.
In an effort to test the relationship between the "brain mechanisms that link generous behavior with increases in happiness," the study divided individuals into two groups – an experimental group, which was prompted to spend money on other people over a period of four weeks, and a control group, which was prompted to spend money on themselves during that same time.

As it turned out, putting that hard-earned cash to work for the benefit of other people was the big winner. With the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging, the study found that "generous decisions engaged the temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) in the experimental more than in the control group," and in the striatum – the reward system of your brain – "activity during generous decisions is directly related to changes in happiness."
Those in the experimental groups also demonstrated higher increases in self-reported happiness.
The study contributes to standing research that shows the positive psychological impacts of giving gifts, in case you've ever felt weird about how much time and energy you spend on finding the world's cutest onesie for your bestie's newborn.
It leads to this:
Alas, not everyone is Oprah, and as such, not everyone has the means to be showering people with gifts all the time. But that's OK: "You don't need to become a self-sacrificing martyr to feel happier. Just being a little more generous will suffice," says Professor Phillipe Tobler of the University of Zurich, one of the lead researchers on the study.
And even more good news: This generation is already keener on the idea of giving back than those before them. Which means that decision to buy a round of drinks for everyone in the bar at last call on Saturday was, in fact, an excellent idea.
