October 13 - 19

So, it's supposed to turn from balmy to cool and rainy this week...  I tried to think about that when I picked food.  Cool and rainy = soup!  I love soup!

Here goes...

Saturday, October 18

It's our anniversary, but it's also the night before I run the Detroit half marathon, so I'll need my typical pre-race carb meal...  pizza and beer

Sunday, October 19

Running the race in the morning, so we're going out to big brunch after that.  Probably just munchies the rest of the day.
