a few of my favorite things…
Don’t these just make you happy? My teaspoon had a run in with the garbage disposal and the garbage disposal won. So when I saw these pretty little measuring spoons at Williams-Sonoma I couldn’t resit. I love the bright colors (and hopefully they will be harder to lose in the garbage disposal). Adam wanted to get an industrial stainless steel pair, but I insisted on these.
Iowa is gearing up for the first big snow storm of the season. It’s already been named “Blizzard ‘09″ and the first flake hasn’t even fallen yet! I don’t buy into all the hype, but I do love watching the snow fall from the comfort of my couch with the Christmas lights on! We didn’t put a tree up last year (we thought we were going to move, still hasn’t happened) so it was extra fun to get everything out this year. We keep saying we’ll get a better tree when we move and maybe that will actually happen next year. We’ll see. I think this one looks pretty good considering it was a $15 Wal-Mart special 6 years ago.
Doesn’t this recipe for peppermint cream bites look amazing? I think I need to make it. Peppermint chocolate is my favorite!
Those measuring spoons are presh. I have salt and pepper grinders that are magnets and shaped like bunnies (you squeeze the ears to get salt and pepper!) and they are one of my prized possessions.
