Proper Prior Preparation…

Posted on December 20th, 2009 by Pamela in Food

It can be said that I am possibly be the worst grocery shopper on the planet. That, or I’m way too spur of the moment with my meal planning that I seem to make too many trips to the grocery store. Case in point: in the last 24 hours we’ve made 4 trips.

However, I did manage in these 24 hours to cook a beef wellington dinner, bake short bread, lemon squares, and black and white red velvet cookies with Caroline and Kristin. Then concoct what I assume will be a face melting pot of Chili with Chris containing 7+ kinds of peppers (my hands are still burning from chopping them). I know as it is now simmering in my dutch oven on the stove, that I should be preparing my mouth by lining it with Vaseline, but instead I’ll have a giant glass of milk at the ready. It needs to be used up anyway, because not too long ago I made a trip to the grocery store thinking we were out of milk, only to discover when I got home with it that we had 2/3s of a bag left.

The Shift.

When I was poking around the fabric store in Sept. to see what was in for fall and winter, I fell in love with this boiled wool and knew I had to make something out of it for work. It had to be a dress (of course) and Caroline suggested I go with this style, and I’m really happy with it. It was easy to make and it’s so comfortable and warm that I’m tempted to find more colours and just wear them all winter.

Ok, maybe something similar so I don’t look like a schoolgirl all winter.
