the yummy things in life

i am hungry.

things i want to eat this fall:

1. roasted pumpkin seeds. so good, and my fam never makes them! what's up with that? just a little salt and oil and put them in the oven. this will have to be the day after pumpkin carving project.
2. chex muddy buddies (aka CRACK). toooo addictive. once i start in, it's all over. here's the recipe. soooo easy! you could even make them in your dorm room! > chex muddy buddies recipe .
3. marionberry cobbler. i've never liked pumpkin pie, so this will have to replace it this season. anyone have a good recipe? but who am i kidding, i wont make this. i'll probably try and get nana too :)


i am also hungry to see some good shows. i haven't been to a theatre production in forever. the last thing i saw was "grey gardens" at portland center stage. it was phenomenal. i especially loved the student price of $26ish. great deal. well worth it, even with the $10 parking. anyways, there are some of my favorite shows playing in portland right now, and i'm really itching to see them. must save money.

shows i'm dying to see:

1. ragtime at portland center stage. portland center stage always has fabulous shows. and i already love this show... so perfect! the only thing that's been holding me back so far is that they haven't been selling student tickets thus far. at least on their website. but as of when i checked this morning, they are! only $23 + all those dumb ticket charges. not too bad! buying my ticket now.
2. company at the winningstad in the pcpa. company is one of my all time favorites, but i've only seen the pbs special and listened to the cd a million times. i figure i have to see it live before it can truly be one of my favorites. tickets run $30 to 35, but i'm waiting to hear about 2 for 1 deals. apparently they aren't selling tickets very well. sad.
3. parade at the mark taper forum in los angeles. when i'm in LA visiting schools this is running, and i may have to spring for 2 tickets so my dad and i can go. he has no interest, but too bad. t.r. knight from "greys anatomy" is in it! this actually doesn't mean much to me as i've never seen an episode, but still. parade is by far my favorite jason robert brown show, and sounds like it'd be well worth the $55 to 80 per ticket. i'll let you know what i decide. here's a review of the show. check it!


off to start my day!
