Day 350—16 October 2012 Not worthy These whimsical (if misplaced, at Besa Mi Taco—a mediocre fast-food Mexican joint) characters are no Beyonce, the giant metal chicken (who has a giant following on Facebook). They leave me wanting. . . .

Blocked!</b>
DH wasn’t the only busy bee this weekend. Once the leaf sweeper came through, practically every intersection throughout the neighborhood was more than 50% blocked by leaf mountains. Oy! [I apologize for the severely lacking shot—I was on the run all day, getting things done and making big plans.]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Project365/2011-November-Launch/i-QXbNfM4/2/4d8312b5/Ti/2012%2010%2029%20blocked%20intersections_110124-Ti.jpg)

Party time</b>
While (essentially) lifelong friend Judy’s birthday was yesterday; tonight we were among Don and Steve’s guests at a lovely dinner party to celebrate. Don made delicious recipes from Suzette’s (Judy’s mom) cookbook. Start to finish, the food and company were delightful. [At the time of this shot, we were <i>almost</i> there.]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Project365/2011-November-Launch/i-FGwsPbv/0/68398c98/Ti/2012%2010%2027%20Chi%20dusk_173634-Ti.jpg)

Good things come in small packages.</b>
One of my favorite new recipes this year is Mexican slow-cooked pork carnitas. After wasting leftover peppers several times, DH discovered this miniscule can, which turns out to hold the exact number of peppers we need for the recipe. [Insert happy dance here.]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Project365/2011-November-Launch/i-4BbMdDW/1/d8a66fbf/Ti/2012%2010%2017%20chilpotle%20peppers_0005-Ti.jpg)
