Apparently this year I made it my goal to experience fall in as much of New England as possible. Last weekend Mike and I headed up to Stowe, VT with our friends Liz and Dave for some autumn fun; we spent Saturday poking around Burlington (hello, Ithaca NY on crack!), where we stumbled upon the BEST farmer’s market (complete with thousands of samples, a pumpkin sweet potato fritter, hippie children dancing, and a morbidly obese bulldog being pulled around in a wagon) and hit up the Magic Hat Brewery. On Sunday we explored the uber-creepy Smuggler’s notch, then went to Cabot (FREE CHEESE), a perfectly Vermont cider mill (pictured above), and Ben and Jerry’s! A trip full of foliage and eating, just how I like it 🙂
(Sorry, Liz, about that spot of sunshine you are birthing)

If you can figure out what’s going on in this picture I’ll give you a prize.
The Sweet Life 
OMG why do I live in Florida when there is land as BEAUTIFUL as this in the same country? FL is great and all, but NO WHERE NEAR THIS. OMG OMG OMG. I need to move.
My favorite photo is the one of the beer. I am so jealous of your escapades. I have NEVER been to Vermont, and it is totally at the top of my list. In any case, you should write up travel guides to New England…I would buy. =)
If only there were more clever people like you!

Defining my cybergeography and community has been an experience to savour, and has had interesting effects in my life, as well.October 21, 2003 | 8:28 am
Girl, you know I love this. I was scrolling through these pics with a grin on my face like a kid in a candy shop.
SO. SOOO. GOOD.
Please take pictures of scenery more often. I loves it. 😀
Also, I miss you. And I need to email you back!
i have this SUPER sneaky feeling once i visit vermont i will never leave. as in i will scream and kick and object until someone lets me leave with vermont beer and maple syrup in casks. and this post just proved this even more.
I saw your peanut butter smores bar recipe in Ladies Home Journal (which were amazing by the way). I almost fell off my chair when I saw that you are a preschool teacher in Brookline who likes to throw dance parties in your class and writes a food blog. I am a preschool teacher in Newton who likes to throw dance parties in my class, and I write a food blog. So funny!
Long-lost besties!!
