Oh me oh my what a weekend. It started very awesomely on Friday night when out a very innocent dinner at Morac on 16th our dear friends Paul and Tisha surprised us with their presence for the bus party! I couldnt have been more stoked. Then Saturday was the infamous bus party where this year's theme was Bad In Plaid. Here's the whole crew! Yes, I may have paced myself for the first 5 hours of the bus but I definitely peaked a little early considering I went home at 2am and most people went home at 4am! I went as a Mad Men 60s girl and Shawn went as a lumberjack wi th a wedgie.
Our friends Josh and Erin are leaving the Bay Area so it was QUITE the send off. It will not be the same without them, unfortunately.

Anyway - to get down to business - we attended a Gourmet Mom's sauce party for the Super Bowl and entered ourselves into a nice little Chili contest. Shawn made a Mole chili that was to do for with a slow roasted beef rump and he even dried his own chili. I decided to make a pairing for it with Pumpkin Jalapeno Corn Muffins. Originally, I took this recipe from one of my favorite blogs - The Brokeass Gourmet where she was making Pumpkin Poblano corn muffins but I made a batch on Saturday and they were bland and tasteless (even though I followed the recipe) - so I decided to go Semi Homemade on their ass and whip up something absolutely DIVINE the second time around....
Here's the original recipe: http://brokeassgourmet.com/articles/pumpkin-poblano-corn-muffins-with-honey-butter
