Thank you, Boston

I just want to say congratulations to the Boston Red Sox for advancing to the ALCS for the 4th time in six years. More importantly though, I want to thank them for putting a skip back in my step. The last 10 seconds of the game last night were phenomenal and they reminded me of how wonderful baseball can be...especially when it goes your way :)

BEST OF LUCK IN THE ALCS BOYS!!!

September hodgepodgery

Alrighty, I don't have much to preface this with (translation: I don't have TIME to preface this) so let's just do this thing!

1. Finish notes on all Hitchcock films

I finished notes on 2 Hitch films this month!

Number 17



Champagne



13. Eat at one new restaurant every month

This month I indulged in two fabulous Milwaukee restaurants...Sake-Tumi and Rustico. I've actually been back to Sake-Tumi since the first time I went, and I am officially adding it to my list of favorite Mil-town eateries. Rustico also has one of the best gin martini's I've ever had.

15. Donate $5 to 1-3 charities of your choosing every month

My friend Dave who I work with at Kohl's has some friends whose little boy died of cancer last month. He participated in Al's Run in the boy's honor and I donated $30 toward the effort.

18. Create a food blog with recipes and pictures

I added five recipes to my food blog, Culinary Zelights, this month including Kung Pao Lettuce Wraps, Mediterranean Chickpea & Orzo Salad, Spicy Crab Cakes with Mango Cilantro Salsa, Coconut Lime Tilapia with Mango Rice, and Caprese Salad. Mmmm!

21. Watch at least one documentary every month



This month I watched an AMAZING documentary called Darfur Now. It's an incredible story of six people trying to fix the crisis in Darfur in their own unique ways. The film definitely inspired me to investigate this situation further so that I might be able to help in my own way.

25. Buy 15 classic albums from the Rolling Stone 500

This month I bought...

Neil Young - After the Gold Rush



Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon



Todd Rundgren - Something/Anything




That's all for now. Until next month!
