Pot Au Feu.

In celebration of the one year anniversary of our Paris trip, my girlfriends and I went to Pot Au Feu in Providence.  If it was a Julia Child favorite, it had to be good...

Turns out it was the perfect place to recreate our Parisian experience {full credit to B on picking it}.  The restaurant had a certain je ne sais quoi about it.  And the food was dynamite...

When in Paris, eat dessert.  I made that up but it was our mantra while we were there.  So in keeping with tradition...

Hot Tamale.

Soak your corn husks to soften them.

Slow cook your meat with

chipotle chiles in Adobo.

It makes everything better.

Prepare to assemble.

Spread the masa in the corn husks

and stuff with your meat and cheese.

Stand up in a pot and steam for an hour.

{Special thanks to B for teaching us how to make

this part of her family's holiday tradition}

Autumn in Beantown.

For the last month and a half I haven't been able to leave my apartment without breaking out my camera.  The foliage this fall has been beautiful.  Here are some of my favorite shots...

Beacon Hill.

Back Bay.

The North End.

The top of my stoop.

The bottom of my stoop.

A rainbow of color.

Knock knock.

Halloween Treat.

The NFL gods gifted my boyfriend with two tickets to the much anticipated game, the New England Patriots vs. the Minnesota Vikings.  You know the one, the game that Randy Moss was coming back to New England after being traded.  Not a bad match up for my first professional football game...

Just a hop, skip and a jump on the T.

The fans were out in force.  By "out in force" I really mean out in costume...

The competition.

The good guys.

Even the cheerleaders.

It was an awesome game.  I saw Brady, Farve, Moss; the greats of our time...

De-fense.

I believe it was our cheering that lead our Pats to victory...

Pats 28 - Vikings 18.
