Recipe Review
Today’s
Recipe and Location: Jalapeno
Cheddar Scones
Found
in: The Pioneer Woman blog
Look at that cheese oozing out of the edges |
You can even see some of the jalapenos if you look closely |
These scones surprised me. I couldn’t
imagine these flavors together in a type of bread/cookie but they truly worked.
To me, they weren’t really spicy, but every once in awhile there was a little
heat. So far I have loved every single scone recipe that Ree has put out there
in cyberspace. This one is a keeper!
Special Event: Shopping for winter clothes
Okay, so I knew that eventually I would
have to go shopping for winter clothes since I only had one or two things that
even slightly fit.
So,
after really hearing the heartfelt comments from Jenny Anderson, I resigned
myself to the fact that I was going to have to shop. Jenny laughed when I told
her that I was waiting for the winter clothes to be out. Apparently, they have
been out for some time – HOW WOULD I KNOW????? I don’t go near a store unless
it is a grocery store for my blog. She really helped me by giving me a lot of
ideas of where to shop.
I
planned the big trip for this past Saturday morning at 9:45 a.m. I wanted to
arrive at the outlet mall early to get a good parking space and be in and out
as quick as is humanly possible. Of course, it was cold and rainy, which fit my
shopping mood perfectly.
I
bought a few things at Lane Bryant and many at Dress Barn. My total for the day
was $383.26. After shopping for two entire hours, I was ready to try on some
boots and flee to the parking lot. I didn’t find any boots that I loved, so I
left. I was literally exhausted for the remainder of the day, but I really love
what I bought.
Okay,
JA – I really, really, really, hate to admit it, but I am glad I went to the
mall and thrilled with my new clothes.
This is a floor length gray skirt and a t-shirt that I bought at Lane. It looks boring on the hangers. |
The black fancy t-shirt is great, but I nixed the black and white skirt so now I just have the top. I am sure eventually I will find something to wear it with someday. |
JA - I know you told me to look for color, but I fell in love with a lot of gray and black. What a surprise? |
A few more new dresses. There is a wonderful burgundy dress that I couldn't get to photograph well - you'll have to wait to see it live. |
I
thank God that I won’t have to go back to the mall until the spring. Yikes! That is only a few months away.
