A simple second vegetable that would compliment the rest of the meal would be basic pureed butternut squash or mashed sweet potatoes! A little bit of butter, cream, and nutmeg in either of them and you're golden. A Homey Budget Wedding Meal for 120: The Menu Homemade Weddings |

I'd definitely be interested in hearing if this has worked for anyone in the past. For whatever reason (something tells me it has to do with our upstairs neighbor), we get occasional house fly parties near our windows... no actual idea of how they're getting in, though!

As an Army brat, I moved around constantly growing up (11 times before I was 18). My folks have never owned a home-- we've always lived on post or in rentals. They moved to their most recent house after I graduated college and have been there for a few years. Home to me has nothing to do with the structure and everything to do with what's inside. As long as I know the rooster cookie jar, my favorite spoon, our family pictures, and the box of records are there, it's home. Have Your Parents Moved? |

I'll second the call for New Belgium but send you towards La Folie, which is a spectacular true sour to try if you're new to the game. You can't go wrong! If you're in Fort Collins, hop on over to the brewery and take a peek at the massive barrels that its made in. Beer Spotting: Sour Beer |

Popcorn and M&Ms at the movies... growing up, my mom would take us for movie dinner every now and then. We used to think it was an awesome special treat! Now I still do it but feel totally gross and lazy. Cook’s Confession: What Have You Passed Off as Dinner? |
