Here’s Google’s election map for easy reference:

Tammy and I chose dinner at home tonight, a small part of a larger plan to spend less money on eating out. We had leftover port filets from the night before so that became the base of a fantastic pasta dish. Thepork had been grilled and wrapped with bacon so a carbonara was a perfect choice. To save a pit scrubbing, I used a single skillet, starting with the pasta. I cooked it until just under done then reused it for growing butter and making a white sauce. Not to rush the story here, but since it’s time for bed, everything was added to a cassarole dish and put under the broiler. Poof! A great dinner for pennies!

This is the last weblog post I’ll write from the comfy confines of 853 S. Kickapoo.  I’ve enjoyed my time here, and while looking around at the nearly empty house, I know I’ll miss it.  It’s a house of a little over 1000 square feet and that makes for an intimate experience, but most of all, the house had very different environments.  The kitchen was filled with windows and curtainless, so during the summer, it was like a screened-in porch.  The den was just right for the two of us to watch TV and feel completely isolated from the rest of the house.  It’s also the warmest and coolest in the appropriate seasons, making it Tammy’s favorite room.

There’s not much to say here except “Goodbye old friend.”

Goodbye Kickapoo…
