30 Rock quote of the week -- 10/11

Liz: "I have to work every night?"
Jack: "say goodbye to your free time. Did you hear that? That's the sound of 'Honey BooBoos' piling up on your TiVo. "


Liz:  "What do you think, I'm an idiot?  I didn't win that argument.  I'm an idiot!"

Falling Water

Here are pictures from my little drive over to see Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water.  As you can see, the fall leaves were glorious at this time of year.  Also, you can probably see that I left my good camera at home and had to rely on my phone.  See better pictures at the website here. 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the interesting things about this home is that it is 7000 square feet, and half of that is balcony/outdoor space.  That is amazing to this city girl. 

 

 

 

 

 

Also in the area is another Frank Lloyd Wright home called Kentuck Knob.  From these pictures, you might be able to see that his plan was to tuck the home right into this knoll, or "knob," so that you almost can't see the home from some parts of the property.  It has all kinds of weird corners and hallways because FLW wanted it to be based on a hexagon shape. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dough Girls

Over the weekend, Kathy and I took a little trip to western PA.  On the way, we stopped at this little restaurant called Dough Girls, where rumor has it they make the best cinnamon rolls ever. Not one to back away from such a claim, we had to see if the rumor was true. So I can tell you that the cinnamon rolls were good, and these had maple flavored frosting, but I've had better.

BUT the whoopie pies were out of this world. 

When we got there, I was asking about the flavors of their whoopie pies and the girl behind the counter said, "I don't know what you're talking about."  After I repeated my question, another woman working there piped up and told me the flavors.  The girl just looked at her weird, and the woman said, "She's asking about the gobs." 

We both just looked at each other, as if to say, "You call them WHAT?"

Jess, after hanging out with her new hipster friends:  "I've been up for 48 hours, so I'm gonna sleep off an ass-ton of quinoa."

Chaz to Jess:  "We don't care if you stole your catch-phrase from some low budget web series."
and of course, her awesome catch-phrase....
