Ah...Fall...hayrides, ponyrides, apple picking. We just came back from our annual fall apple run. We had a great time and I actually think the $120 ($6 pony ride, $18 hay ride, $60 in apples and pie, $10 on gas, and $30 on lunch!) we spent was fully worth it, BUT the rest of our fall fun will need to be much cheaper.
Here are a few ideas...
- Neighborhood fall festivals (pack lunch!)
- Trick-or-treating (homemade costumes are ideal, but the JLP thrift shop and Old Navy have plenty of cheapos)
- BBQing with friends in the yard
- Collecting leaves
- Enjoying the late afternoon sun in the park
- Any of the many great activities in Dancing Meatballs (www.dancingmeatballs.com)
- Going to the local farmers market
- Baking for our friends
And speaking of cheap...
Persian chicken
-2 lbs of chicken breasts cut in half
-the juice of 4 lemons
-1 half cup of olive oil
-a generous pinch of saffron, salt, and pepper (mashed together with a mortar and pestel)
-a grated onion
Mix it all up, marinate it for an hour or more, throw it on the grill. Grill a few tomatoes (fabulous to mix a few different colors/kinds of tomatoes). Serve with rice - Persian, if you can make it - http://www.recipezaar.com/124898. Will easily serve 6-8 at a cost of about $2 per person!
