I haven't done a Monday AM mish-mash in a while so here goes! :D

Had a totally awesome weekend!

Saturday started off with a trip to the Feast of the Hunter's Moon. It was our first time going. Yeah, we've lived in Lafayette for 6 years now (and Monticello for 8 years before that!) and have never gone. Before 2 years ago it was an issue of comfort - at the weights we were then, there's no way we could've handled it! The Feast is a huge event - way bigger than I expected! So many vendors and things to see, and a very SouthFaire feel to it, despite obviously being a totally different period. We're definitely going back next year, no question about it.

Dinner was insanely wonderful. We'd been wanting to make a "Chef's salad" type of thing for a while and finally got around to it. Killer romaine hearts, red onion, scallions, tomato, cucumber, 12 year old cheddar, Finladia Emmentaler, Boar's Head hard salami + smoked ham, hard-boiled egg, and a homemade ranch dressing combined to make a "Killer Salad ov Death". We'll be doing that again!

Then, Saturday night, we went and watched the Lafayette Brawlin' Dolls roller derby bout! Wow, now that was fun! Yeah yeah yeah, those of you that know me will be saying "WTF Jon you said you hated sports?!?" Well, in general I do! I'm a gaming geek, programmer, rocketeer, and former R/C pilot. I like geeky things, not jocky things. But, any sport where the players have names such as "Roller Damage", with jersey number "2D6" .. Yeah. I'm in. The Dolls lost to the Circle City Socialites, but only barely, and the bout was extremely well-played by both teams! We'll be going back.

I also finally installed Linux on my second drive, but that's a subject of another post, as it caused a small nightmare (though the nightmare was Vista's fault).

Sunday we got a lot of stuff done that needed done and that was super-fun too as it always feels good mentally to get stuff done! I made killer burgers too. D&R Market's beef + Rogue creamery smoked bleu cheese + D&R Market's bacon = pure win. I cooked the bacon all chopped up and mashed the bleu cheese up with the bacon and topped the patties with the mixture. Mmmm. She made one of her patented ubersalads to go with and the dinner was perrrrrrrrrfect.

Ahh, what a perfect weekend. :)
