Pumpkin cinnamon rolls

I looove cinnamon! I mean, who doesn't? And then with cinnamon, it comes ginger, cloves, nutmeg and we have The Pumpkin Spice, the Autumn spices! Combined with pumpkin, orange or apples, it's just the perfect marriage!

So, for this month, the recipe is Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls, these beautiful swirls with cinnamon and brown sugar. This version has pumpkin in the dough, peeerfection!!

Enjoy,

Long weekend

What an awesome weekend!! I really like this idea of doing a turkey and reuniting the friends: the so called Friendsgiving! eheh The meal was delicious! Turkey with mashed potatoes and green beans, stuffing balls, gravy, cheese dipping,  pumpkin pie, sweet potato with marshmallows and a chocolate french desert. 

This long weekend I had everything that I deserved: leftovers, I went to black friday, we had Thai food, on saturday we went to the apples place (2nd round, yeah!!!), an afternoon on Charllostville (cute little town) and of course a spinning class on Sunday morning to burn some calories and to start the week with a lot of energy! Life is good!

Apples addition

Ok, I confess! I may have an addition, but a good addition. Guys, in one month I ate two large bags of apples! lol But hey, is not just apples, they are fresh apples from the Orchard that I handly picked! Crisp, fresh and delicious... everything that you are looking for when you eat an apple.

But let's rewind, some weeks ago on that lab trip, we went to pick apples in a Orchard at Charlottesville, in our way back home. What an fantastic experience! You pick the apples, you enjoy the nature (and the poison ivy! lol), you eat one apple or two in between ahah, you have apple cider, apple cider donuts, apple butter and everything related with apples :) There is so many varieties of apples... is very interesting! I picked the ones called winesnap, jonagold (?) and granny smith. Funny fact: I don't find here in US the variety 'reineta' and 'bravo esmolfe', and they are my favorite for being so different!

I need to go again and fill a couple of bags. lol

Grand Caverns

Hey everyone!

I have some pictures of the Grand Caverns that I want to show you. Last month, we went for a lab trip to the mountains (west of the state of Virginia - Harrisonburg) and in our way back home we stopped in this beautiful caverns! They are located in the central Shenandoah Valley and it claims the distinction of being America's oldest show cave in operation since 1806. This is what wikipedia told me, because the guide only talked about how some stalactites/formations looked like pizza, hot dogs, candies, champagne bottles, ... I don't know, I think she was hungry!
One curious fact though is that the cavern served as a ballroom in the 1800's. Can you imagine, the band music, the refreshments and the ladies with those big fluffy dresses, dancing only with candle light?

In the middle of those crazy costumes, I found a little princess :)

The American Halloween

Some photos of my Halloween! I went to Fan to see the kids and grown ups playing the trick or treat. I was an awful player: I wasn't wearing any costume neither did I had candies.. total fail! :c I least, I have photos to share.
