Gromits, Steelers and Bisque

now that is what i call a weekend. perfect fall weather, minimal stress (yes i said minimal, stupid freaking steelers! damn you  maddox!), good food. ah… perfect.

the wife and i (“the wife” man that’s weird. not bad weird… just different. it still amazes me that i am now a married man. hmmm… grown up.) were able to catch the movie ‘Wallace and Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit’ on saturday.

freaking-awesome-movie. especially if you are a ‘Wallace and Gromit’ fan. If you are not, it is still damn fun.

yesterday night we reflected on the different traditions of our two families while making dinner. as you probably can guess, both of us grew up with really different, though strangely familiar traditions. the task before us now is to amalgamate the two for our future family. cool stuff actually. one of the ones that we decided was seasonal meals. the first being to always have butternut squash soup (bisque actually) in the fall. (again, i must reiterate that taking about having a family and doing family stuff is still a little weird to me… good weird though.)

you need to take weekends like these every now and then. kick back, relax, spend some quality time with loved ones and just do nothing of any real significance. it does the soul good.

today Bridget and i have an exciting chore ( and i do use the term lightly) to talk care of. it will be the culmination of the exciting and extremely highly stressful last few weeks. once the results are processed, i will post them here.
