My Friday night cosmo was divine….
Made pizza with the fresh dough I made this morning.

Forgot I did not have any motzarella cheese - so cut up some white cheddar slices I had on hand.

It turned out “just fine”.

Made pizza dough with the kitchen aid for tonight. Looks good so far - made a nice ball on the dough hook without any fuss.

Crocheted a hat for my cat Meraki. Actually made three hats - the first two were too long…..

Today I made an apple pie with apples from the Saint Paul farmers market ( purchased last week ). It’s in the oven as I type.

I used Penzy’s spices and recipe www.penzeys.com/shop/recipes...

Made a pumpkin pie from scratch - from a pumpkin I baked/pureed and scratch made crust.

It looks edible except I wished the pie filling too much and it became frothy. Gave the top of the pie an odd texture. Nothing some whipped cream can’t fix :)

Meraki looks way too comfortable this morning.

Have started working on a new puzzle in my condo’s community room. Should not be too difficult to do - lots of color and detail. Previous puzzle had black and white cartoon cows…. So this is a welcome change.

Went to Saint Paul’s European winter market yesterday. Will go back to do some serious Christmas shopping.

Did obtain a fuzzy alpaca toy/ornament for myself - it’s so soft ….. could not resist.

Elsbeth season 3 is my current guilty pleasure. It reminds me of the old Columbo tv show……

Went to the Queering Indigeneity exhibit at the Minnesota Museum of Modern Art.

Was cool that I would walk there from my condo via the skyway system without a winter coat.

Was interesting and well done
