Last night Kristin and I went to a wedding for someone we work with. The wedding was in Woodstock, CT, which is straight up 395, right before the Worcester, MA border. It was a beautiful day yesterday and an even better evening. The ceremony was outside, which lasted about 5 minutes (no lie). After the ceremony, we had cocktails and appetizers outside on the terrace, over looking the fields where the sun was setting over. Following appetizers, we went inside for dinner, which I thought was really food. It seems like every wedding/event there is always one person who ends up breaking something. Well, last night I was "that guy." As I was sitting down at the table, I went to go move my water glass, which ending up shattering in my manly grip. Glass and water went everywhere! Following dinner, there was dancing outside on the covered deck, which was pretty cool, literally. I have to go on record in saying that Kristin looked absolutely beautiful! Everything from her outfit, to her hair to her face was beautiful. It must be the pregnancy glow! I am so mad that we forgot our camera, so we were not able to get any pictures of the two of us.
Today, after only getting a few hours of sleep, Kristin and I did some errands. We planned a feast of food to eat tonight as a mini-celebration. Kristin made her famous cheesy potatoes and also made lemon bars for dessert. I made a homemade apple pie, which I have to say was awesome!!!
For dinner, in addition to the cheesy potatoes, I made bloomin onions with really good dipping sauce, and chicken friend steak. I also made country gravey to go with the friend steak. As always though, I make WAY to much food, but I guess that's the nature of being Italian. The frier I bought when up in Maine last week is coming into good use, though the fried foodis not heart healthy!I cannot weight for Thanksgiving now.
Another quick weekend and another Sunday where I sit here dreading the week ahead. Kristin and I want to thank everyone for all their congratulations and warm wishes. We appreciate everyone's comments, emails, calls and support!

Thank you for saying I looked beautiful on Saturday Twony!!! Anthony also looked handsome in his suit and we got to practice our wedding routine when they played " At last"
I wish I had some cheesey potatoes at work. I am having some weird cravings and my ceral and bannana aren't cutting it.
That is so cool! Your apple pie looks great, Anthony. Well, all the food does, but I'm especially impressed by the pie. Did you make the crust???
Of course! Only problem is that I put too many apples, so the crust split. If you guys come down a week early for thanksgiving, I will make all the stuff again :-)
no eggplant?
Hi Kristin and Anthony,
