Crazy busy and fabulous weekend. Busy parts included making bacon cornbread on Friday night. Sadly, I pulled it out of the oven too soon. I mean, I know better. I was talking about just this a few weeks ago. How long do you bake something? You bake it until it's done. But I wanted it to be done so I pulled it out. It looked okay that night but by the morning it had sunk in the middle and when I cut it open it was way underbaked. So that took us to busy part no. 2 and coming up with another dish to bring to a potluck on Saturday afternoon. Fortunately, Sarah had a recipe for potato skins in mind so we were able to get that pulled together. Busy part no. 3 actually came before that, on Saturday morning when we had to drive a couple of big planters out to the Umstead Hotel in Cary (more on that later).
But enough of that jive. On to fun time! Fun thing the first: chili potluck hosted by Brooks Ann and Charles. Got to hang out with some fun people, eat some good food, see their insanely cute house in Hillsborough, which they've been renovating. So many awesome details. I particularly love this thing they've done on the ceilings, where they've used leftover tin roofing on the inside, just with some shellac to keep any rust from falling off. I'm not explaining that well, but trust me, it's an awesome look for a vaulted ceiling.
Fun things the second and third will be discussed at length in the next post.
