The Perfect Saturday

This is the time of year when I get really "Martha S." and want to try new recipes and get our annual apple cider/pumpkins/honey crisp apples, etc.. So, on Saturday, I worked in the morning then met up with Mike and Mary (the best Mother-in -Law) and checked out the farmers market.

Mike and I absolutly LOVE stopping at Starbucks on the square and waiting in the rediculous line, to get our pumpkin spice latte's. This has been our tradition for 4years, and I always look forward to our 'mini-date.'  Anyways, we stopped to get our dose of caffeine for the morning and this line was around 15 people deep, but if you enjoy waiting for a piping hot, delicious coffee inside while the 1st snow was flying, it was SO worth the 20 min wait!!

Then we were off...
I was on the hunt this year for a spaghetti squash. Ive never made one before but of course Ina Garten (my hero) has been roasting these latley, so I HAVE to follow her lead.  :)

Not only did I find my perfect squash, and fresh herbs to make another batch of homemade chicken stock but Mary bought fingerling potatoes. I seriously LOVE the hunt for the 'best' looking veggies at the best price, and our mini date was complete with a trip to Macys and lunch at the Great Dane. My pics I think capture our perfect little Saturday.
