This weekend I stopped in a little store and picked up an old favorite of mine. Stonewall Kitchen Roasted Garlic and Onion Jam.
I also bought a new one that's similar. I think I should have a taste test soon and see which I like better.
Today the Stonewall version did not disappoint. I love it on turkey sandwiches, with slices of a baguette and baked brie, or on a sandwich thin with cheddar.
The vending machine didn't have any baked chips so I ended up with something else that I loved from way back when.
Yeah. It's the machine's fault.
Last night after my sort of interesting massage (I had the 60 min Relaxation Massage it was very stretchy as well as Swedish - like she sat on my back at one point and pulled at my limbs a little bit. It was good - but kind of non-traditional) at Acqua Beauty Bar it was pouring rain. Simply to get out of the rain I HAD to run to Filene's where I took a gander at their fragrance department.
I have not had much luck sticking to a scent. I used to wear Tea Rose and/or Jessica McClintock in High School. Then in college I wore a scent that I bought again yesterday (more on that in a minute), Then I wore Trueste by Tiffany (discontinued), then I wore Kate Spade (discontinued). I tried Lovely (but I think I was more interested in being Carrie Bradshaw than I was in the fragrance) then I wore Shalimar Light (also discontinued -Traditional Shalimar is what my mom wears and I love it but it's STRONG!!) and this spring/summer I wore Bobbi Brown Beach which I love but is super light and doesn't last long.
Did you follow all that?
So. The point is in a fit of 1989 nostalgia last night I bought a bottle of Design for $29.99. It's a tad too strong for me now so I wore it sparingly today but I think it's growing on me again.
I do feel like I should perm my hair and start listening to The Smiths and Depeche Mode on a continuous loop after work though. ;)
Last night for dinner I made some Parpardelle with Meat Sauce. I bought some fresh ricotta at Whole Foods as well.
It was good but I now think the meat sauce was in my freezer too long and I'll leave it at that.
Patti and I are going for a drink after work. I don't really want a drink quite frankly but nothing says I have to order wine right?
Oh who am I kidding.
See you later.
This was a good post, actually :) I am with you on the wine thing. I will always say, just dont order a glass, but as soon as the waitress arrives I find myself saying, "I'll have a glass of the pinot gris." Oops!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Thanks! I just thought it was too all over the place. And when you see my post today you'll see that I was not successful with the "not wanting a drink" thing. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the 80s. :D
ReplyDeleteI wear Lovely - and I get a ton of compliments on it. But I also know that scents smell differently on different people (excuse the syntax). Maybe one of her other scents would be better?
As long as no one ever brings back Exclamation or Cher, we're all safe.
