Food, work, fall

I wanted to post some pictures of Columbia yesterday, but I couldn't figure out how to get them off my phone. I have been on campus a couple times in the last week, setting up a place where I can do some research. I plan on working on campus on Monday and Tuesday, so it will be a busy couple of days for us. Since I know I will be gone long hours, I decided to do some cooking ahead of time this afternoon/evening. Now we have roasted chicken with vegis, stuffed green peppers, honey-mustard chicken with rice, and tacos all ready to go for the next several days.

Roasted chicken with vegis: this chicken has since been deboned and the bones used for chicken stock.

Stuffed green peppers: these peppers are stuffed with a mixture of ground beef, black beans, rice, and tomato sauce.

Honey-mustard chicken: this goes on rice (not pictured).

In other news, it is starting to feel more like fall. On Friday, Brian and I sat on the steps outside at Columbia and did some reading in the sun. We still have our windows open, but on both trips to Columbia last week, I was happy to have a small jacket with me. I am excited to watch the leaves change color this fall, which is something I haven't seen in several years. I also enjoyed wearing a sweater one afternoon last week. Oh, and I picked up some apple cider at the grocery store this afternoon. :)
