Meet Piggy, the Hey Song-singing football pig. When I bought this for Josh I honestly thought that he would hate it. As it turns out, he actually loves it quite a lot.
Piggy went on his first adventure a few weeks ago, to the Utah/TCU football game. That's right, the game where we got completely and utterly and maddeningly crushed. Oh well, it was still fun to get out to a game, and Piggy even got all decked out in a University of Utah scarf for the occasion. It's a good thing it was warm, or EJ might have missed his scarf! Here are some more pictures:
We were depressed by the outcome of the game, of course, but at least we (Piggy especially) had a good time! And we're standing by and cheering for our Utes. Go Utes! Beat those Cougars on Saturday and this season will have been worth it!
And in other news...
We had a "blizzard" last night! I dropped quite a bit of snow, but nothing unmanageable. But boy was the wind strong! Essentially the entire state shut down. It was quite exciting, and nice to go home early. The dogs (Toby in particular) were excited to see the snow and spent some time out bouncing around in it. Of course, eventually they did want back in...
Toby just loves being dried off with his towel, so I think it was a good night all around for him. We're just glad that the roads were (mostly) clear this morning! And tomorrow is Thanksgiving, so...HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Well first let me apologize for not having a tantalizing picture to go with this yummy recipe. I wanted to take a picture, and charged my camera and everything, and then promptly forgot. Josh's mom had a Halloween dinner on Sunday, and asked us each to bring an orange food. This dip was recommended to me, and I decided to try it. I was pleased with the outcome. It was easy and tasty! Here it is:
Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip
2 C. Pumpkin Puree
1 C. Dark Brown Sugar
2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Ground Ginger (I only used 1/4 tsp)
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1 (8 oz) Package Cream Cheese, softened
1 box of Ginger Snaps and/or Nilla Wafers Cookies
1. Using a mixer, whip cream cheese and pumpkin until creamy
2. Mix in sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger until well blended
3. Refridgerate Overnight
Serving Option (I did this, and it was fun and festive!):
Cut off the top of a small pumpkin and hollow out the inside. Pour dip into pumpkin and replace top. Refridgerate. When you are ready to serve, just pull out the pumpkin and place it on the serving tray with the cookies!
