Happy Friday! This week has been a long and busy one. I’ve been so tired all week and am looking forward to that extra hour of sleep on Sunday for day light savings. This weekend my son is heading to Saratoga with his Boy Scout troop. Here are five from this week:
1. Halloween – The kids both had parties Saturday and slept over friends’ houses. Sunday I took my son trick or treating with his friends to some townhouses near us. One of these cows is him! My daughter had some friends over and they went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood and then watched a scary movie.
2. Reading – This week I finished reading The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowely Heller. This is a Reese’s Book Club pick so I thought I’d give it a try. It was a bit slow for me with unlikable characters. Overall, I didn’t think it was a great read.
3. Cooking – Dinners this week included Skillet Ricotta Pasta with Roasted Broccoli and Instant Pot Cauliflower Curry.
4. Watching – My son is one of the stage managers for his middle school production of High School Musical. Since none of us had seen it I got a copy from the library so he could become familiar with the show he’s working on.
5. Eating – This week my husband and I had a rare weeknight date at Maria Restaurant. This is a 2020 and 2021 Michelin Bib Gourmand winner and rightfully so. The food is always so good but this Wild Mushroom Ravioli was amazing!
6. HVRW – Wednesday night I attended a media dinner for Hudson Valley Restaurant week at Terrapin in Rhinebeck. This is such a beautiful restaurant and has been on my want-to-try list for awhile now. This I enjoyed this morel and wild mushroom bisque. I have to go back during the day though to explore the town.

I’ve heard such mixed review about The Paper Palace… All the food photos look amazing.
