Every year around November I get this overwhelming urge to cook soup like, four times a week.
I made Matt wait like 2 hours to eat this yummy French Onion number, but it was oh-so-worth-it.

Ever Wonder How We Met?
Deals: tell me a story
MC: once upon a time, in a land not so far away lived a boy
MC: one day that boy went to a friends birthday party, all around the boy were women, some single and some taken
MC: one particular women caught the boy's eye. the women wasn't fond of the boy at first, she thought he was trying to hit on one of the women who was taken
Deals: i like this story!
MC: as the night went on and the conversation deepened it turns out the women and the boy had met before but didn't realize it
MC: the party continued and the boy and the women talked all through the night, they parted ways with a strange suspicion they'd see each other again
MC: a week later one of the women from the party, the most crazy women of all, had a gathering. She invited the boy and many of the same women along with a lot of other people. the boy was very happy to see the women who caught his eye and even offered her a ticket to sit by him at the baseball gaem
MC: thankfully the women said yes, the boy ran off to go get the tickets and met the women at the game. Unfortunately he got there a few minutes too late to see her nearly fall down the stairs, however he did hear the story and how she didn't spill a drop of her beer.
MC: if that wasn't a sign that these two were meant to be together what was?
Deals: fate I tell you
MC: a few days pass and the women is out with some of the boy's friends, they comment on how the boy needs a good women. the women, a bit indignantly says "he's cute" and light bulbs popped up over all the friends heads
MC: later that night, at an enchanted placed called "the elbow room" the boy and the women reunited. The women, tired of waiting for the boy to make a move, challenged the boy to a drinking contest.
MC: foolish as it might have sounded, it worked. From that point on the two were inseperable
MC: they went out on the town and had a blast, met each others familieis and fit right in, met their freinds and fit right in
MC: the signs were on the wall
MC: a few months passed, about 11 actually, and the boy realized it was time to make sure this women was his forever and ever
MC: he went and bought a beautiful ring and took the girl, almost against her will, to the house they had bought
MC: he waited for the time to be right, only to have her move away before he could drop to one knee.
MC: he kept waiting for another moment but it never came, so he created it.
MC: down on one knee, a big smile on his face and ring in hand he summoned the women
MC: she came around the corneer and almost fell over. The shock, and hopefully joy, were enough to make her tremble. tears ran from both their eyes
MC: many months have passed, some fights have been had, but the couple is now mere weeks from getting married.
MC: the boy knows in his heart, mind, and soul that this is the best thing that has ever hapened to him
MC: hopefully the women feels the same
Deals: I LOVE YOU

On Bachelorette Weekends and Minimalist Cardigans
Sorry for the drive-by posting about R.Williams, but here are the deats:
So Robin EFFING Williams walks over, looks me straight in the eye, and says "act surprised on your honeymoon".
Loved it.
Not much else I should talk about here on this blog to protect the innocent, but we did have quite a fun evening at a bar with a slide at the entrance. Highly recommended if you are looking for a wild night out in the City.
In other news, please allow me to introduce
Minimalist Cardigan
Needle US 6 / 4.0 mm
Yarn Knit Picks Andean Silk
Colorway Olive / 12.0 skeins (about 1152 yards)
Ravelry Entry
I freaking love this sweater. So cozy and it fits very well!!!!I've already worn it out like 3 times, and not one person has asked me if I made it. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.

Divert Your Eyes If You Are Looking For Knitting Stuff
That's my cake for the wedding. With layers of oh-so-decadent chocolate mousse and ganache & butter cake with citrus Bavarian cream and fresh sliced strawberries. Oh my god, I don't even like dessert and my mouth is watering thinking about it.
72 days. I'm starting to totally freak out.
