Happy Election Day, everyone. I hope you all voted (or will vote) today! I voted this morning, and was late for work, by the way, because I waited in line for two hours to vote. But it was my honor and privilege! The room was abuzz with excitement—and not a little agitation that there was only one voting booth per district, but mostly excitement.

Tonight we are having a couple friends over and will celebrate with an all-American menu of baked beans, corn casserole (made by the Midwestern Predicate), arugula salad (we are arugula-loving liberals, after all), and of course, homemade apple pie (made easy by the apple peeling-coring-slicing gizmo my aunt got me as an engagement gift)!

I am excited about the baked beans recipe. It is from Epicurious and has great reviews. I love the, well, not really American addition of chipotle. I’ll let you know how it turns out!

Now go vote!
