Weekend Snapshots

This weekend I was up in Syracuse visiting my boyfriend. We went apple picking at Beak & Skiff, which I highly recommend if you're in upstate NY. Not only can you eat all the apples you want while picking, they have a tavern where you can sample the apple wine and hard cider they make there. I went home with a couple bottles, I can't resist a dry hard cider! While out in the orchard, I got on my boyfriend's shoulders so we could reach the highest branches. On Sunday morning we made these bacon, egg and cheese cups and some apple pies using this recipe.

The Salvation Army in Syracuse is one of my favorite places to thrift. Jimmy, his two roommates and I all walked out of there with our arms filled with great things. I got a bunch of sweet clothes, including the denim skirt I'm wearing in these pictures. It has this cool little suede/snake skin detailing on the bottom that I love. The boys bought the cool hand-carved barrel that we filled with hot cider and whiskey and served in the little cups it came with. Overall it was a perfect fall weekend.
