In Which I Go to the Suburbs

And eat….oh, pretty much the same thing for breakfast. Difference: I had some eggs with the English muffin and had almond butter instead of sunflower butter.

Walking on the wild side, clearly.

I also ran. Again, wild side.

Went to Costco and found a pumpkin pie bigger than an infant for only $6.99.

Then found some real pumpkins, including one to call my very own.

White pumpkins? Is this a thing and we just don’t get these in the city or have you never seen these either?

How tall am I?

I am 5’6″, according to this. Or I’m about to be thrown in pumpkin jail and this all a farce.

I ate at the diner. (Obviously. This is how we roll in NJ.)

Slightly creepy.

Super creepy.

My mom and I even found a nature preserve. I mean, I guess that’s what it was. There was no bodega on the corner, so I guess I must have been out in nature.

Back in the city. Whew.

  • Um, are those sweet potato fries? I could surive solely on sweet potato fries.

    I love white pumpkins! You can't get them in Chicago either but if you venture out past the city limits you find yourself one. Glad you survived the non-urban lifestyle and made it safely back to the city!

  • That pie looks like its levitating in that picture, which is impossible, as it probably has 14 cans of pumpkin in it considering its size! Looks like you had fun in the burbs!

  • You are getting down with your bad self--switching up the spreads! Haha. I don't care what anyone says, Costco's $7 pumpkin pie is THE VERY BEST. It's so damn good and I have been known to eat 1/3 of the pie at once. <3 it. I see white pumpkins all the time!
