I am all alone on this dreary rainy Sunday. It won't be long and the house will be full again. So I cook for the week: Chicken Cutlets, Sausages, Meatballs and Pork Chops. Been taking lunch to work lately, better than eating out. I usually print out some reading material. The best of last week was an interview in the Paris Review of Jim Harrison.



Sometimes you have to go Old School: Samuel Smith Brewery.



This and The Oatmeal Stout are classics.



Finishing up Chernow's Washington: A Life. My admiration for our first President has increased ten-fold. Also, I always knew Madison was interesting but now I have to dig deeper.

Dr. Monster's Scooby Doo/zombie flick remix for a nice Halloween touch.



Beer for the weekend is Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale.



Cold morning at the Farmer's market. Lots of Gourds, Apples and Tomatoes. Sycamore Farms even had Corn and a sign "Last of Season."
