Ashley, Erica, Jess and I + Candy = Amazing! Honestly, after this weekends cooking and crafting, I think we deserve a cool nickname. Like the 4 Horsewomen of the Hearth or something equally cheesy. Check these out:
That is the best looking neighborhood since Mr. Rogers went off the air. From left to right we have The Peppermint House (Mansfield Manor), The Gaga House (Hoser Hut), The Gingy House (Chateau Cordell) and the Candy House (Chez OB).
The only team that played better than us ladies on Sunday were the Patriots. They rocked. Well, they rocked for 3 quarters, which was enough to win. Gronk had a 3 TD down day and although he didn’t set a record for 3 receiving touchdowns in a game by a TE, he did tie Antonio Gates and Vernon Davis for most receiving TD’s in a season by a TE with 13. I sincerely hope Gates and Davis aren’t too attached to that record. Brady didn't set any major records (comparatively), but he did move into a tie for Sixth Place with Warren Moon on the All Time Touchdown Pass List.
I have great news: Gronk is coming to Worcester! Booyah! Gronk will spike the puck on February 24th before the Worcester Sharks host the Providence Bruins. The Sharks are also reimbursing Gronk $7,500 for his famous spike against the Jets. For more information, click here: http://www.sharksahl.com/story.asp?story_id=2874
We started the day having Calzones and White and Red Pizzas from Buonos Italian Bakery in Providence, RI. You can’t bake better bread than the Buono family does. If you haven’t tried it before, stop by next time you are in the Providence area. http://buonosbakery.com/aboutus.htm
