Icy Spray

I've always known I wanted to include photographs in my shop, but it wasn't until today that I've finally been able to introduce the first one for sale.

I took this inaugural image along the turbulent wintry shore of Lake Michigan.  As is probably obvious, immediately after I clicked the shutter, I was covered in water which soon turned to ice.  I literally ran a mile home in some subfreezing temperature, out of fear that my bare hands and my sweet dog were getting frostbite.

Early fall in Chicago

It's definitely fall in Chicago.
I was so cold when I was downtown yesterday that I impulsively bought a gigantic scarf and this morning I had no choice but to make pumpkin cinnamon rolls.  I was too lazy to make the dough, so this recipe uses pre-made crescent rolls instead. The icing was a little involved for me today, so I went with the classic -- 1 TBS milk + 1/2 C confectioners sugar.  They came out super soft and cinnamon-y.  I might reduce the pumpkin a bit if I make these again.  Delicious!
