Happy Football Weekend!

My boys are on a bye week and my men have Tennessee on Monday. I have the in-laws and my parents coming today so I don't know how much football I'll actually get to watch the weekend. But my fantasy team is 9-1 so at least I got that when my real teams are playing horribly.

Who are you watching this weekend?

Me, last week, when my boys decided winning is stupid.

Me, last week, when my men decided to make the Jets look good.

Welcome to the monthly recipe swap campfire.

Fall has happened. The apples and pears are aplenty at the farmers markets. Winter squashes are everywhere and in a lot of my meals these days.

With Thanksgiving around the corner in the US, please share your winter veggie/fruit dishes.

Stacey has this absolutely amazing comedic talent to make readers laugh. Her stories are so engaging and clever that smiles are guaranteed. :)

Come visit with Stacey.

Sooo. We're trying to find a new car, AGAIN. We've found someone with 4 kids to sell my husband's Chevrolet Captiva to (car's got 7 seats. Still don't understand why we bought it), and now he's considering buying a Mazda cx-5 (crossover SUV). HOWEVER, I, of course, would much rather we bought Edward Cullen's post-Twilight car, and not because I'm that much of a crazy fan, but because it's pretty and safer. We've never bought a Volvo before though, and it's not like it's within our budget. Anyone ever owned a Volvo? THey only have 2 year guarrantee! (Mazda gives 5...)

Were you pissed they changed the shiny silver Volvo and went for a darker and more luxurious one? Makes sense that he'd want Bella in a safer car though, no? Also, he's a VAMP, come on, it's bad enough his hair's almost like Jamie's not black :)

Diving Deep for Fan Fic Treasures

Each week I will brave the treacherous waters of Fan Fiction for buried treasure. Below are the gems I've found this week!

I found a nice little trove of treasure this week!

Special Thank you to all of our Service Men and Women around the world today!

Please be sure to let the writers know you found them here on ADF!

Games On Tap by beauxity
Edward has just moved back to Seattle to escape his psycho ex. Bella is snarky and spends too much time talking to her cat and herself. Can they work to open Edward's new store, and maybe start a new life together? AH, ExB, canon couples, M for lemons and adult language.

This one is just getting started.  Very cute.  Snarky Bella.  I liked it a lot.

The Best Medicine by dimplesssx
Bella is a student who volunteers at Seattle Children's Hospital. Riley is a kid undeterred by his constant trips to the hospital. The two form an unlikely friendship, bonding over a mutual love of Star Wars. Edward, Riley's dad and single father, struggles with his lack of control over his son's condition. Could Bella be the best medicine for this family's broken heart? Rated M

E & B don't start off so well in this one.  He's understandably cranky after being a single dad of a sick little boy.  Sick babies have potential for heartache, but I'm hoping that all will end well. :)

Adult Education by staceleo
Their job is to teach the young. Now the teachers are becoming the students when learning about romance. A silly tale about love, teaching, and learning to live to the fullest.

Staceleo is good with the silly, and these two are lots of fun.

Nightmare Before Christmas by LyricalKris
When Edward's son died, he took Edward's heart and soul with him. Even a decade of mourning didn't seem good enough. But then, Edward met college student Bella who thrived despite her own tragedy. Can Edward's cold, dead heart beat again?

Fair warning that the Prologue is a doozy.  Heart. Fail.  Looking forward to more.

FLASH BACK FIC DIVE:

Wild Turkey by Tardis19
Bella Swan's life had been turned upside down, but she hadn't thought things could get worse. She was wrong. Life as she knew it was over the minute her father drove them pass the sign that said Welcome to Wild Turkey Island, Alabama, population 1,200. Yeah, life officially sucked. AH, M for language and possible adult situations, Teen fic.
 

When You Least Expect It by Kare831
A broken man hires a broken single mother as his personal chef. As time wears on, she becomes so much more. A tale of what happens when you least expect it.
 

Unconventional by DazzlinSparkle05
plan verb, planned, plan•ning. a specific project or definite purpose: plans for the future. A girl that lives by the definition and a boy that scoffs at it.

Thanks as always for your support.  Your feedback is appreciated, so please let me know what your going to read this week!

Today is Veteran's Day in the States. It's an official holiday, honoring the people who have served in the U.S.. Armed Forces.  (it's also a day off for pretty much everyone, but me)

I'm sure other countries do this as well, so please share with us the date your country honors it's people as well as what you call it.

Have you served? If so, for how long + what branch?

Care to share your favorite Military Based FanFic?
