Hello
Hi. No real news to report from the Hayes family (Connecticut branch) -just some plain old every day updates. Last weekend of duck season was good with limits both days (ducks traveled well to home and will make delicious gumbo). Katie continues to do amazing new things every day, to which most of you would say "whatever". The temptation to believe she is the only child ever born is overwhelming. I have to really enjoy the time while she still thinks Dad is cool and finds watching Pooh cuddled up next to Dad the perfect way to wrap a day before headed to bath. I am working on sourdough strarter 2.0. It's coming along nicely but slowly, which as I do more research I am learning is common in colder climates. Good bread is on the horizon... somewhwere. If this weekend is not too busy, I may make a run at making Melissa's silken chicken tikka masala, having already created my own garam masala spice mix from scratch. Of course I'm going to have to make the naan that goes with it (not a diet food). We are finalizing arrangements to have a no-kid weekend in NYC, so Christy and I can remember all the things we did before Katie became the center of the universe. Of course, we'll probably end up spending the entire weekend eating, sleeping, and talking about Katie. Such is life. Either way, we have committed that we will do this before we get going on adoption process #2, which is right around the corner. Hope all is well. Hope to hear some news (or boring updates like this one) from everyone else some time soon.

So Stephen has been a bit of a slacker in posting pictures of his mustache dyed green. Or videos that he's taken recently. Maybe you guys (if the readers of this blog can even be considered plural), can encourage him??
Nothing really exciting going on with us either. We just got back from a long weekend in Florida where we went and saw some concerts and drove all around in the Terrapin van with 8 other friends. It was lots of fun. And I'm heading back onto the road to Florida tomorrow night with my family (sans Stephen) to go celebrate my grandma's 75th birthday. I'll get to see my sister and a bunch of family, so the twenty two hours in the car will be worth it!
Other than that- not much going on. I'm eager to hear how the Tikka Masala works out. It's a big process (making the Garam Masala, baking bread, tracking down all the spices), but it just makes it all taste better! Next week I'm going to try another Indian Dish- Butter Chicken, which I'll report back about. It's more mild, but... well... there's butter in it- need I say more??
Okay, I'll try to check back tomorrow before I leave town for the weekend. Holla back!
