Hello! Just wanted to say a quick Hi & check in with you all! Hope everyone is having a fantastic
fall! I must say I do miss Clyde's Cider Mill in Mystic this time of year- with there amazing cider donuts (which I can no longer eat :-( .... But I miss all the same) Other than that, Fall is slowly working it's way through all the aspen trees- pretty soon it will start to snow- so we're enjoying every warm day we have right now! I think I have a recipe for you, and I'm sure I can scrounge up a photo or two :-)
So I thought I would start by remembering how gorgeous the setting was for Sarah and Mick's wedding @ the top of Aspen Mountain last weekend- it was Beautiful!
So happy for them both!
And I also had to give props to Tor. He hasn't had to many photo's lately... So I felt he was due.
Jim suggested retiring Tor from the garden,
to which I replied... Shhh, He can hear you you know.
Needless to say Tor is sticking around for a bit :-)
We do have Red leaves in Colorado!
These are some of the first Aspen leave to change in our yard.
Sorry for the dark photo
Jim's Next big project is to clear out some space for a small green house behind the shed-
Tough work when the soil is like cement.
Jim just cleared all the brush out of the left side of our back yard.
He's going to terrace part of it, and flatten out the higher ridge to make a deck.
Should be quite beautiful when it's done!
We had to pick up a cooler that we found online in Beaver Creek last saturday.
Jim just drove this truck right though the foot mall- under a tiny bridge and everything!
I should have gotten a picture of the cooler loaded on the truck- it was massive!
Here's the coolers final resting place- Just outside the front porch.
We were originally going to put it in the shed- But Jim figured out that we were going to have to cut out part of the door to fit it in- So we decided against it!

Smoked Tofu Recipe
For the rub:
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp seasoned salt
1 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 tsp montreal chicken spice seasoning
Directions:
Slice tofu in half lengthwise. press tofu for at least 20 minutes to get most of the liquid out. Rub both sides of tofu with the Rub mixture. Plave in smoker for at least an hour- turning every 20 minutes.
Here's the smoker barrie picked up from the thrift store. Andy tried to smoke some ribs in it, but the temperature wouldn't stay high enough- So we decided to smoke some tofu instead!
This smoke picture was taken just after we added dry twigs to the coal pit-
The smoke definetly tasted a little brush firey!
another view of the smoke!
all of us smelled like smoke last night! but The flavor of the tofu was worth the smell of smoke on my clothes!
Ok well, I hope you enjoyed the random photo's this week :-)
