Back to work

Went back to work today after a well deserved four day weekend. Had Friday and Monday off, not because we had a columbus day holiday at work (god forbid)! but because i requested the days off. I needed some rest because my arms have been bothering me lately, i guess it's just muscle fatigue.

This past weekend we went to the opening ceremonies of the Culinary Institute of America-San Antonio. It was packed, man, loads of people. Probably because of the free food samples that were being given out. Got to see Rick Bayless

He was doing some cooking demostrations and then a book signing. I would have bought it just to get it autographed, but i figured it'd be expensive considering that i probably would have no use for it since i'm a vegetarian and most of his recipes contain meat. But i'm still a big fan and i just had to snap a quick picture. People were complaining, though that he had the event organizers shut down the live band because they were being too loud. Oh well, i guess they didn't take that into consideration when they were planning the thing.

Here is a picture of them actually playing. Don't know what the name of the band is but they were playing latin music, salsa and stuff.

Actually put out some Halloween decorations. This is all new to me because in my family Halloween was just not celebrated because it was evil. PPFFTTT!! Life is too short to be so uptight. I just wish i'd have a costume party to go to, i'd love to dress up.

Friday was Marla's last day at work and they got together at Mama Margie's to say good bye. It was my day off but i joined them anyways.
