Happy Friday!
I forgot to include this picture last night….good times!
Julia (the real Julia) was a debutante gone mad. I loved that costume idea! 
This morning I had an oat bran photo shoot on my floor, per usual.
I used 1/2 cup bran, 1/2 cup milk, ~1 cup water, 1 banana, almond butter and maple syrup.
Maybe this weekend I’ll go find a toaster. I love oats but would kill for a waffle sandwich or an ezekiel english muffin!!

Today is a pretty busy day at work (Fridays usually are) and then after work, we have our employee “after harvest” party. Harvest 09 is now totally done and tonight we throwing a big party for our awesome vineyard crew that has worked so hard all season. We have even rented a taco truck….yes, I’m totally stoked about my first California taco truck experience!!!

I think the costume is great- who doesn’t love Julia?! Did you see the movie, btw- it’s great!
You should totally get a toaster- I never realized how handy they are until I moved and didn’t have one at first– suddenly all I wanted was toast every morning!
That picture is sooo cute
Looks like you had fun!
I personally love your costume. I have been searching for a cheap costume that I could throw together so that I don’t have to waste unneeded $$ on a costume that I’ll never wear again.
I may ‘steal’ your costume idea. I hope you don’t mind!
I may have to go around the corner to my favorite taco truck for lunch now…
Julia was the perfect costume for you! Looks like you had a blast!
I love your photos that you have been taking on your new camera.
I know that you are in need of furniture, do they have any good yard sales up there? When we goto southern california on our beach vacation, I always make a point to go yard saling there, I always find some great treasures.
I’ve got to start trying out some oat bran… I used to love cream of wheat as a kid, but haven’t had it yet as a grown up… something tells me it will be the perfect fall breakfast!
I can’t see your post from last night and I’d love to see the costume, did it accidentally get deleted?
Have fun at your Harvest Party
The after ‘harvest party’ sounds like so much fun. I love fall themed parties – the food, the smells…I can feel it now.
yeah I never saw a recap party post either )= wahhhhh
wow a taco truck! sounds intense! have funnn.
jenna
help! can you use regualar ground coffee (like you buy at the store) and be successful with a french press or does it really need to be something special?
Toast your waffles/english muffins under the broiler! I have zero counter space in my kitchen so I am balking on buying a toaster oven or microwave, and I’ve found that I’ve adapted so well I almost don’t even miss them.
Your pictures look so much better with your new camera! I got a new camera before I started my blog, isn’t fun learning how they work?! Great job!
Jenna, have you thought about going to a thrift store and getting a toaster (and anything else you may need at this point of moving : )? It’s an eco-friendly choice (less production) and also an econ-friendly choice (more money for you!). We recently moved, and it is amazing how much stuff we ended up giving away to thrift stores…like-new stuff, because we just couldn’t take it with us! Could be a sweet solution… Just a thought : )
Happy Friday!
O good, I’m not crazy–other people missed the party recap too. From today’s pic, it looks like it was a blast
Happy Friday!
Love it! Enjoy your first taco truck experience. I have had the amazing Cali-Mexican food experience. Actually if you go the plaza with the super target, whole foods, and trader joe’s (I think that’s the one you may be shopping at…that was our staple plaza for our honeymoon we were there everyday). Anyways if you go to the end of the row of stores, past TJ’s to the right and that coffee shop and walk down to the end there’s a YUMMY Mexican restaurant! That was probably the most confusing set of directions. But you really should go! Super yum!
Love the oats pictures! I hope you have a great weekend
Oh no, I want to see your costume!!! Like the other people said, I’m thinking that post somehow got deleted??? Your costume sounds so adorable, I really want to see pics
Cute costume!!
PS I love your wood floor photos.
I don’t think I could ever get sick of your oats girl! Have you been eating them all your life? I never realized how popular they were until I entered the Blogging community…gosh, I remember my parents making me eat oatmeal when I was a kid or I couldn’t go to school (…which I didn’t see as a problem
)…we called it “Porridge” then and would put butter in it !! (Oh and I am NOT old…I’m only 28 …still 
Jenna, (OR ANYONE )— how much Almond butter/nut butter do you usually put in your oats?? Do you just plop it in or are you careful not to put too much in? …usually I eat up licking a spoonful or two myself
A taco truck!? That’s amazing! Hope you have a great night!
