Fall Fun and Tex-Mex Pizza

Yesterday, sweet hubs and I took advantage of the beautiful weather and the fact that the leaves are now beginning to peak in color and drove out to Suffolk County on Long Island to spend a few hours at Fink's Country Farm.

It was a beautiful drive out and we got to have some fall fun since the farm had lots of festivities going on, including a piggy race, a barn "zoo" where you got to feed horses, goats, cows, etc, a band from Long Island that played lots of southern rock, such as "Sweet Home Alabama", a corn maze and hayrides. Oh yeah, and pumpkin slingshots!

They also had a farm stand (it would have been odd had they not, considering its a farm) with some great fresh produce which we indulged in.

We ended the evening after driving home with sweet hubs getting a cute little halloween tattoo of a zombie girl at Hand of Glory from Zoe (great shop with awesome people - sweet hubs has several pieces from there - go check them out if you're in Brooklyn).

We tried our hands at a new Weight Watchers recipe for Tex-Mex pizza. Quite delish if I do say so myself.
