Potluck...postponed.

Like anything else in life, Monday night potlucks don't always go off without a hitch. In fact, sometimes we <gasp> don't even have them. Those instances are few and far between, for sure, but they do in fact happen. Today just so happens to be one of those days.

With the long Columbus Day weekend, many of our regulars had jam packed weekends, either here or away and ended up needing a quiet night at home. We were definitely feeling the pull to stay at home ourselves, having just come back from a weekend out of state visiting my folks and attending a wedding. (A fabulous, outdoorsy, perfect fall-in-New England wedding that celebrated delicious, local, slow food. In fact most of the produce was provided by the groom's brother's farm!)

A night in to recharge for the week seemed to be in the cards for most everyone, so potluck has been put on hold until next Monday. That means that the stuffed acorn squash I was planning will have to hold until next week as well. Good thing squash is a fan of being stored.

Instead of gathering with friends and a variety of food tonight, we went out to one of our favorite local Mexican restaurants. Somehow, I'm sure we'll find solace over the missed Monday potluck amidst fresh fish tacos, beef taquitos and homemade horchata.
