Fall in Evanston this year has been particularly lovely. The leaves were just gorgeous at the beginning of October! We eventually did get some gale-force rain, but up until a couple of days ago things have been really nice.
We've also been doing a lot of cooking in 802. Charlotte has been coming over every Tuesday to whip up some delicious deserts. We've had apple pie, pumpkin pie, chocolate-chip cinnamon cookies, and snickerdoodles so far. Rachel and I have also been experimenting with some new things, including lentil bread (the substance all over Rachel's fingers).
And then Rachel turned 21! We celebrated by going out for drinks at the Rhythm Room at midnight. It took the poor bartender several moments to realize what the date was. Rachel's drink was also free!
The day of her actual birthday we went to teapot painting class at Norris with Jackie and made cute little teapots (hers is the blue one, mine's the purple elephant).
That night we had friends over for fondue (don't ask how many blocks of cheese went into the fondu) and Rachel's famous spice cake with marzipan topping.
It's been a busy couple of weeks! And we haven't even gotten to Halloween yet...
