Gettin’ ready for @kingbanjo and Sarah to spend Halloween night with us here at the semi unpacked Windsor household

The Great Pumpkin Party was once again GREAT. Thank you @masterkari (and Mike. I refuse to use his Twitter name since he refuses to use it)

Angel food cake in the breakroom. Dont they know Jesus’ bday isnt till Dec? Yes, angel food cake is official Jesus bday cake why do you ask?

Maybe for Halloween I will be a girl in NYC…boots, leggings, dress and a cardigan. That sounds down right comfortable to me!

The husband is making me a smoothie in the magic bullet as I scramble to get to work on time

A long Friday to go then a day off. Between here and there, there will be The Great Pumpkin party + friends over for the first official time

There is a tiny boy blowing leaves off his front yard. And I do mean tiny.

How long is it appropriate to keep wedding blogs on my blog feeds?

How about I work on our New Years Eve event theme instead? Hollywood? International Flavors? Sounds classy and fun, right?

Pitched “wizard of oz/wicked” theme for next years fall retreat to the boss. Now all I want to do is research how to make that happen.

The New Swell Session – Strict Joy: wonderfully amazing leaves falling from the trees music.

Smith Street diner breakfast with @myfirstkitchen and @jasonwindsor

Starting my early morning out with a Pumpkin muffin & tea before breakfast and lunch friends. Should be a very good day.

WHAT. Glee meets Wicked?! SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS GLEE http://bit.ly/43lFcs

Making cookies with @masterkari for The Great Pumpkin Party!

I love cooking at home. Its hard not to with such fun kitchen gear we’ve been blessed with a handsome husband by my side helping.

For those who’s holidays start when the holiday drinks come out at Starbucks, that will be November 17th.

Spilled half my chicken chili, lovely. And forgot pumpkin muffins or desserts. At least I have lots of cheese.

Dad came by my Bucks this morning. So fun to see him even for a little bit but I’m tired of these quick good byes we keep having.

Dad is in town for an evening. due to a cold rain the spare bed isn’t moved yet. I hope the cozy couch-bed I made up, makes up for a bed.

I do not understand why my husband owns some many towels. Im seriously about to count them because its kinda out of control.

My house smells of my friends recipes. Sandra’s chili in the crock pot and @masterkari’s muffins fresh out of the oven.

Waiting for the plummer. Ah, joys of being a homeowener.

Also, people love calling me Mrs Windsor or Alisa Windsor. Something you don’t get in NYC where no one knows you.

First day back at the church job. I love being here! Lots of welcome backs and hugs. So different from yesterday, so lovely.8:11 AM Oct 27th from Twitterrific

I don’t know why, but I always stop to look at this jacket at Target. Now it’s on sale. Can I pull if off? http://yfrog.com/0imv0jj

So far, not half bad of the first day back. Do miss @jasonwindsor though

First day back to work. Let’s hope it’s a really really good day.

Last official night of my honeymoon. Really sad to see it go.

New shower curtain (not any of which we registered for ether). My twits are very exciting http://yfrog.com/0ozydcj

First meal to cook as a wife is very important. Whats is it important? Because all we’ve been doing for a week (if not a little more) is eating out! Dont get me wrong we’ve been eating amazing and I do mean amazing food this past week in New York City. We just couldnt believe food would get better and then it would! And we know we barely touched the amount of amazing food to be found in the city. So, see, there is much pressure on me here after all the lovely tastes and smells to have a homemade goodness. We both were in the mood for soup and after reading Kendra’s article about things to stock your kitchen with (which very timely we needed to do) I searched her sight for an easy soup recipe and came across the simple vegetable soup and gave it our own twist. By own twist I mean, whatever veggies sounded good at Trader Joes and I had already picked up, thats what we used. Heres what the recipe looked like:

2 cups of chopped up of each of these veggies: (so sad I didnt use my NEW magic bullet to do this! What was I thinking?! Thank you Geof)

zucchini
mushrooms
celery
carrots
onion
yukon potatoes

and toss in a can of diced tomatoes. Kendra is right, veggie soup really needs this.

We used four cups of veggie broth – no water. With the large amount of veggies I chopped up, we thought we might of needed to add a cup of water, but it was just perfect – just really chunky.

Kendra also suggests to saute your veggies and we agree. I threw in the onion when I was about half way chopping up all the veggies (making sure they were all about the same bite size pieces – this is important) with a tablespoon of butter. After tossing all the rest of the veggies (can of tomatoes last) we added more butter. We probably didnt need this much, but we used total, just shy of half a stick. So good though. Oh and listen to Kendra LOTS of pepper and salt! Key to this soup. We tossed in some chicken (Jason needed protein I could of lived without it) and wish we had cheese in the house to sprinkle on top. That simply is all it was missing – cheese.

The husband liked it. The wife had an easy and enjoyable time making it (which very little clean up and lots of left overs!). Winner for this newly wed couple for sure – thanks Kendra.
