Sunday Stuff

So I started off my Sunday evening by making a batch of cupcakes.

Hey, I had to use up my cupcake mix before the move, so why not end my weekend on a positive note?

I also made this carrot and squash curry soup.

You thought this was my photo, right?

It's not. It's the image from Pioneer Woman Cooks, where I found the recipe.

This one's my photo. I used acorn squash instead of yellow squash.

Thes are the carrots, onions, and garlic before I added in the acorn squash.

Tah-dah! Sooo pretty, right?

Ha.

Overall, I have to say it was quite delicious. It was healthy (very few calories) and even better, filling. Try it!

* Besides cooking up a storm, C and I finalized our road trip plans. We were debating on when to leave Dallas and how many nights to stay in Phoenix and L.A, but we've now established an itinerary for the "UHAUL-ING it fromTexas to California Road Trip 2009," C & L style. We decided on one night in San Antonio (I know, I know.. it's a detour.. it's south and WAY not west but we have dear friends we must visit), one night in Las Cruces, New Mexico, two nights in Phoenix, and then two nights near Los Angeles. Finally, we will drive north and stay in Roseville one night, then San Francisco for another night, and THEN make our way to Santa Rosa to attend our dear friends' graduation party. On or around December 20th, we'll make our way to Monterey, where C's family is. Whew! That was stressful, just writing it all. But we've got it all worked out now, so it should be fun. I'm not sure how I feel about sitting in the uncomfortable Uhaul seats for 8+ hours, but we will have to make it work somehow. I guess it could be worse and we could be driving straight through without stopping. We will be staying with friends the entire time except for the one night in Las Cruces, where I just booked a hotel. We are glad that our friends have room for us and have welcomed us to stay with them. Thanks, friends!

* On Monday night I'm going to see the MJ documentary "This is It" and Tuesday I'm going to see a play that a friend is performing in, called "The Dumb Waiter." Saturday night we've got a big dinner planned for 22 friends in Panzano. Should be a great last full week in Florence!
