Food Fest Weekend

Last Thursday, Tom and I volunteered to help the Food Bank during the Wine and Food Festival. We attended the Chelsea After Dark in the Chelsea market. We volunteered last year and were really excited to attend again. Not only is the Wine and Food Festival a lot of fun, it's also a great cause. All proceeds go to community based initiatives. We assisted by collecting tickets and handing out wristbands. Everything seemed to run smoothly since most people were looking to have a good time.

As for the rest of the weekend... we went apple picking! The apples were just delicious. There is nothing better than picking an apple from the tree, wiping it against your shirt and eating it. The juices dripping down your face and all over your hands. I felt like a kid. I was in heaven. The best part, the place had a petting zoo! With pigs! I love pigs. I think I may have shoved a kid to get a photo of the pigs. haha. After picking out the best apples, I decided to go home and make a pie. Yes, after all the apples that I ate, the apple cider donuts, I still proceeded to make a pie. However, it is currently sitting in the freezer for any future company. I'm sticking with my wedding diet and full exercise routine. ::pat self on back:: For now on, all baked goods will be for this blog and friends. Enjoy!
