mmm...chicken
So, Kevin and I kind of have this minor addiction to rotisserie chicken. We get one every week. Today, we stalked down some fresh-from-the-spit chicken at Whole Foods.
The problem started in November, when I was watching a lot of America's Test Kitchen on PBS. They started making chicken and dumpling soup, and went on and on about how their tests proved that dark meat was the way to go for making soups.
It was all downhill from there: I realized I could buy the chicken, eat the breasts and keep the dark meat for all kinds of chicken noodle soups.
This was also about the time we started singing that "chicken noodle soup" song almost every day, since I was making chicken noodle soup almost every day.
Anyway, it's really gotten pretty bad. At first, I thought it was just some weird pregnancy craving, but now that Kevin's on board too, I have to think they've somehow doped the birds to induce cravings. Seriously, I could go for some right now.

Thanksgiving
Our National Holiday of Gluttony and Excess found us in Indiana.
Other than a one-day delay in our flight, travel went smoothly.
The highlight of the trip might include a sinful chocolate silk pie I made. I really made it for the crust - shortbread cookies and crushed pecans. Oh, man, it was crazy good. It was a hit with my chocolate-averse father and husband.
We also got to spend some time with my cousins, and we finally visited the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum. My cousins confirmed The Female Hypothesis, and were very excited for Baby Davis-Ross. (My uncle lobbied for a boy; I told him I'd "try my hardest.") Despite their best intentions, no one could guess the baby name, although my mother's guess of Hilary was interesting.
Alas, I gained about 4 pound during this week, which is a bit too much. Kevin said I can blame 3 pounds on our significant lack of healthy food options and 1 pound on that chocolate silk pie.
