A nice fall afternoon...



Patrick and I decided to celebrate our last day of vacation (more on our awesome Toronto trip later) by taking a quick road trip to Ann Arbor. We popped by a small photo display of Parisian scenes at one of the local libraries there, and then stopped at a little market to grab some apples. (I can't resist bags of apples in the fall.)

After stocking up on some Honeycrisp, we also grabbed a few items for lunch. I had the sushi (with imitation crab meat, of course), and Patrick grabbed a yummy chicken pita wrap with rosemary mayonnaise.

Those items, and a giant brownie to split, made the perfect lunch.

We dined on a stone wall near the downtown and then strolled along the shops, bookstores, etc., before heading back home for a late-season grilling event of honey-glazed pork tenderloin and red pepper on skewers, corn and rice. We ended with... what else?! The beautiful apple dessert you see here.


It's a baked apple with almond, apple, and cranberry filling topped with a cinnamon-oat crispy crust. On the side is a delicious scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Mmmmmm. I plan to finish off the evening with the New York Times Sunday Styles section. What a day!
