Friday Night!

It's been a busy week at the Duffy household. Last night hubby-bubs and I got to attend a great event--the Preview Party for The Container Store opening up in Indy this weekend (Oct 8 and 9). Ten percent of all proceeds this weekend go to support The Women's Fund, an organization that is growing nearer and dearer to my heart. The food was fabulous--catered by Hoaglin Catering. I think our absolute favorite was the butternut squash soup served in individual cylindrical glass--you guessed it--CONTAINERS! It made me want to try a batch of that on my own.

I also give them applause for the macarons. However, and this is no knock to Hoaglin, Circle City Sweets still corners the market on those. If you haven't tried them yet, you must! Pistachio is one of my personal faves.

Tonight is frozen pizza night at our house. Not very unique or exciting, but just what the doctor ordered for the end of a very busy week.

My hope and dream for this weekend is to make 3 pies: sweet potato, pumpkin and pecan. I want to bring them to work for people to sample.

As usual, I'll be making out the menu tomorrow for next week. As a teaser, on tap for Monday night is homemade chicken pot pie. I'm making two batches for friends, so why not make a 3rd for my own fam, right?
