Today's Adventures
Today we went holiday shopping with my parents at the outlet mall. Sadly, there's not much left of it, and the last kitchen store is closing. :( I think the only non-clothing store remaining will be Harry & David's.
We did score a number of excellent items for the kitchen, including a Vitamix blender. I wasn't sure just how much could really be done with a fancier blender, but the included cookbook is ~350 pages, so it will be exciting to find out. :D I also spotted a set of better lifting forks. Our old ones have only 2 tines each, these have 4, and I imagine will work much better at hoisting fall-apart-tender food out of a crock.
I found several pairs of socks and a few other odds and ends. We got pears and ruby chocolate from Harry & David's. I wish I'd thought to grab 2 bars so I'd have a spare to try baking with.
We plan to go out another day and do more shopping elsewhere.
