Winter and the holidays are about to swoop in.<br />
My day to day routine is changing with it. I've been taking long walks around the neighborhood. The snow storm we had last week finally brought out some fall colors here.<br />
<br />
Hope you have a great weekend. Enjoy my latest Instagram photos.<br />

In high school, <a href="http://www.shakespeare.org/" target="_blank">The Fall Festival of Shakespeare </a>was the highlight of my school year. Their opening night is tonight and I wish everyone the best of luck!<br />
<br />
I'm also participating in <a href="http://www.nanowrimo.org/" target="_blank">NaNo</a> this month. My book is about some of my experiences acting and I wrote this little essay about my favorite moment of The Fall Festival. Part of NaNo is not going back to edit..so please forgive my grammar! It is a work in progress.<br />
<br />
If you are in the Berkshires this weekend, Go out and support!<br />
<br />

<b>The Fall Festival <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
I thought I would write about
something amazing. The Fall festival of Shakespeare in Lenox, Ma. My old high
school stomping ground. Ten high schools do a Shakespeare play. They perform
them at their high schools and then they perform them all over one weekend in a
marathon! It is non competitive and is a
weekend of celebration. I did this all four years of high school. It taught be
how to act, about Shakespeare and about my own humanity. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
My senior year I played Julia in
Two Gentleman of Verona. We did an In-school performance the Friday of the
first weekend. In my first scene, Julia
is gossiping with her nursemaid Lucetta. “Of all the men that everyday
encounter me, which is the worthiest love?” They then name names and discuss
each option. The director had told me to point out men in the audience for each
name. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
The first time we performed for an
audience it was at an “in-school” performance. This is always painful because
teenagers are generally too cool to laugh and be supportive. They are also
being forced to watch this play; it is not their own choosing. When I got out
on stage I was secretly scouting for the right guys to pick out. I picked out
my math teacher, a jock and my gay boyfriend. No one laughed. No one laughed
for the rest of the play. Over the course of the weekend, our parents and
friends gently laughed and chuckled. That made me feel a little bit better. And
less like a complete loser actor.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
When it came time to perform the
next weekend at the festival, I was very sad that this was my last year. I
wanted to get out of high school and get out of my hometown. But the fall
festival was very hard to leave behind. I remember saying this to the costume
designer. She said, “Bigger and Better things await you!” If only she knew
about Off-Off Broadway.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
I was so sad and nervous, but also
very excited to perform. I went out onstage. When the time came I pointed out
another teen in the front row and the entire theater erupted in laughter. It
actual took me a back, which made them laugh even more. That was probably the
greatest theater moment of my life. I felt like I was amazing. That is the
amazing things about the festival. Actors, directors and crew behind the scenes
all come together to support one another. I knew that all these people had my
back. That they knew what I was saying and they were ready to laugh.</div>

<br />
I wanted to let you all know that we are doing fine. Sunnyside has had some fallen trees but everyone seems to be doing well in the neighborhood. No loss of power and we are staying cozy in doors. We took a walk this morning with our friend to check on our car. These are a few pictures we took.<br />
<br />
I hope you and you're family are all safe and doing well. Hope my Manhattan friends are safe! Thinking of you all.<br />

The play has a great<a href="http://www.tictheater.com/blog.php" target="_blank"> blog</a>, where we are posting pictures and tidbits from rehearsal. Each actor has answered a few questions and mine is still to come!</div>

<b><u><i>Steak and Tabbouleh Couscous </i></u></b></div>
<b><br /></b>
My husband is in charge of the meat and I make the sides. Divide and conquer!<br />
<br />
Let's start with the<b><i> side dish</i></b>! We make this quite often and the lemon olive oil adds incredible flavor! We are big lemon fans.We have swapped out the Bulgar for couscous because we always have it on hand. This simple recipe is so adaptable. If you like less parsley, use less. If you want more tomato, use more!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
1) Prepare Couscous per instructions on package. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the two of us we usually make 1/2 a cup (uncooked).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2) Tabbouleh is NEVER supposed to be made in a food processor! But oh well...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chop parsley and onion roughly by hand or in Food Processor. </div>
<br />
<br />

Here are some quick directions on how to make this T-bone steak (about 1-1<span style="font-size: x-small;">1/2</span> inches thick). We used a rub on the steak, covering each side evenly. Placed it on a broiler pan with metal rack. We put it in the broiler section of our oven for about 10 minutes on each side.</div>

My husband and I moved into Sunnyside a few years ago in the fall. Come spring time we noticed a lot of small, dark berries staining the sidewalks. In fact, the berries were growing from a tree in our backyard. My husband said his grandparents had an identical tree that he and his brother's ate from. I responded by saying, "DON'T EAT THESE BERRIES! THEY MIGHT BE POISONOUS." Well, turns out they aren't poisonous. They are called Mulberries and they have a sweet, tangy flavor.<br />

The first year I looked for recipes to cook with them. My pastry chef friend, <a href="http://www.marbleandmilkweed.com/" target="_blank">Briar</a>, suggested a clafoutis and jam. I made this <a href="http://www.cannellevanille.com/2010/05/mulberry-cherry-and-pistachio-clafoutis.html" target="_blank">clafoutis</a>...which was yummy! Briar also helped me come up with a killer jam combo: Mulberry, Strawberry and Rhubarb. It is so delicious! This is my third year making it and it has even stirred a little following among my friends.<br />
<br />
I use all the instructions that come with the pectin. I don't have a food mill, so I leave the seeds and mulberry steams. It is more like a preserve style.<br />
<br />

Below is what you will need for a small batch of this jam next year. And some pictures!</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Follow the instructions very carefully when you are canning!</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
And if you've never had rhubarb before- ONLY use the stalks. The roots and leaves are poisonous to eat.</div>

Ummm....you should make these! They are so delicious and will inspire your significant other to post sweet things about you on Facebook. Recipe can be found <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/szechuan-style-spareribs-recipe/index.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I highly suggest cutting down the five hour cook time to two hours with some shortcuts.<br />

You probably already know by now that polka dots are all the rage. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My friend, Julie, just moved and wanted to make some art for above her bed. She was inspired by this <a href="http://blog.fossil.com/2012/06/ode-to-damien-hirst/" target="_blank">blog</a> and images on Pinterest. We started talking about a Polka Dot Painting and she told me her ideas. She wanted to do it on a canvas and we both agreed that working with potatoes stamps isn't usually successful for us. So we brainstormed and went on a trip to MICHAEL'S!</div>

At Michael's we found these amazing round sponges with plastic holders by none other than Martha Stewart. Each is a different size in the package but it had the size we needed. They are officially called "pouncers." Julie picked out acrylic paints in shades of gray, blue, purple and white for mixing.<br />

<br />
<b>First: </b>After you have gathered your supplies and lint rolled your canvas, it is time to MEASURE! This Polka Dot Painting will have evenly spaced dots. Julie chose to have a 3" border and her dots 3" apart. With measuring tape and a ruler we made tiny dots or x's every 3" to tell us where the dots will go.<br />

<b><u>Bunny Tip: </u>We lined up the measuring tape with a ruler and held it down with painters tape. This way we could quickly get an entire row done. If you mess up, no worries. The pencil erases right off the canvas. AND the pencil doesn't show underneath the paint as well. </b><br />

<br />
<b>Second: </b>Mix your paint colors! We got a white paint to mix with the others to create different shades. Julie made each color as she went along. We tested the colors on scrap paper.<br />
<br />

<b>Third:</b> Stamp dots on the canvas! Stamp one color at a time and in random spots on the canvas. Make sure you eyeball where you are putting the dots so they are evenly spaced throughout.<br />

Happy Wedding Wednesday! </div>

I'm headed off to Austin, TX today but wanted to share some photos and wedding tips! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to have some kind of "Welcome Bag" for out of town guests in the hotel blocks we reserved. For those of you out of the loop, the Welcome bag is for out of town guests and should have some things they need inside. Ours were filled with wedding info, water (with a wedding label!), gum, snacks, maps and brochures. </div>

For the bag themselves, you can use any bag. We wanted it to be an eco-choice but fabric tote bags weren't in our budget. So we collected every brown bag that was gently used. I was even trading with friends when I saw them carrying a bag. </div>

I decorated this bag myself and hosted a craft night with my friends. I told them to use mine as inspiration and go wild! I got out all of my paper scraps, stickers, die cuts, stamps, etc and let them create! Their designs were amazing and I couldn't have pulled this off without them. Thank you!!!</div>

Wanted to share with you some pictures of coming up with my centerpieces. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a very small budget for centerpieces and wanted to them to be "green."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We got the idea from Martha Stewart Weddings to use potted herbs. A potted plant is always </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a "green"choice (over cut flowers) and I wanted to make sure the containers were green as well. </div>

Kmart had these very chic and sturdy bio-degradable containers...and you can see the sale sticker right there!! I ended up getting them in two different sizes in these three colors. I bought some in MA and in NY to make sure I had enough. </div>

Two days before the wedding my husband and I drove up to the Berkshires. We bought herbs and flowers at Home Depot/Walmart. Then we showed up at My Aunt and Uncle's house unannounced...where they so kindly fed us and got all the kids together to help us.</div>

Mr. Hulse and I were spring cleaning when we stumbled upon this United States puzzle. Some of the puzzle wasn't looking so great and Florida was missing. We tried to clean it up but it was beyond saving. THAT being said, some of the pieces were in great condition. And we decided to save some of the States to upcycle them into magnets!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I cleaned and dusted the pieces very carefully. With my trusty glue gun I attached a magnet to each state. (I had some magnets from a previous project and luckily they fit!) Here are the photos from the project. A few of these I'm keeping or giving to friends...but the rest will be up in the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Gillybean4?ref=si_shop" target="_blank">Etsy shop!</a><div>
