Adventure Begins in the Kitchen

Sunday Strolling

by

I wasn’t the only one who was in Christmas party recovery mode this weekend! I woke up, feeling nice and rested, to a text from Val wanting to get some food and catch up on one another’s weekend festivities.  I convinced her to walk to Anthro first.

Take an extra 30% off of clearance items?  Yes, please!  Anthro dishes are by far my favorite.  I hope that one day my collection will be significant enough that I can easily set my table with perfectly mismatched goodness.  And yellow jeans?  Uh, yeah, couldn’t resist.  I had never tried on Pilcro jeans before, but I’m pretty happy with they way they fit (especially for the price point).  I may or may not be on the hunt for the green and gray pairs…

After shopping we headed to Hula Bay to soak up some of the last of this season’s warmth.  I ordered the summer citrus salad, which had a ton more fruit than I could have ever imagined.  Whether or not I actually read the description, I’ll never know.  Regardless, so much sweetness was a welcomed surprise!  And bleu cheese on salads…  My oh my.

Thankfully I didn’t have anywhere to be after lunch, because I somehow managed to get balsamic vinegar all over the place.  My shirt (in two places), both arms, my hair, probably some places I have yet to discover.  So gross.

Are your white shirts magnets to messiness?? 

A Flowery Day

by

The main mission I had today was to buy this candle and stock up on other, less fun, household nonsense before heading to D.Sizzle.  I was certain I wanted the blue jar, but spotted the red jar in the dressing room, and shortly thereafter was directed by the dressing room attendant to the pink jar.

Once I smelled the pink jar it was a done deal – I’m a sucker for jasmine (or honeysuckle) anything.  Seriously, N-E-THING!  And I must have been in an ultra flowery mood this afternoon because I even bought the Tofutti Chocolate Covered Flowers during my last stop at Rollin’ Oats, which are so super yum by the way.

When I got home, I unpacked the flowery goods and whipped up a pseudo homemade dinner: macrobiotic Shanghai dumplings and quick kale soup.

Side note: I read some pretty terrible reviews on the flower pops but, like I said, I thought they were delicious.  It makes me think you either like flowery desserts or you don’t.

Are you a fan of flowery flavors in food?
