Delicious Souvenirs!
Our friend Tom went trapsing across Europe recently and brought us back some terrific stuff, making sure they were things we couldn't get here in the states. Thanks Tom! I've immortalized your gifts in another watercolor vignette (after all, everything but the keychain is edible and won't last forever!):
From left to right: Eiffel Tower keychain (a must-have souvenir, of course), Bouquet garni (seasoning pouches for sauces), Edmond Fallot White Wine Vinegar with Herbs from Provence, a jar of rum-soaked crepes, Apricot & Almond Milk Confiture, Michel Cluizel Noir Infini 99% (now THAT is DARK chocolate - we've been warned to let it melt in the mouth but do NOT bite down, or we may die right there), and Lindt 85% Cacao Dark Chocolate (for those times when 99% might be a BIT too much.) Mmmmm... souvenirs!

A Taste of Camelot
 We tried a Cabernet Sauvignon from Camelot Wines which cost us about $8.00. I must admit for an inexpensive wine it had a great flavor: fruity and rich with no noticeable after taste. Definitely a wine I would buy again.

Pasta Pants
 Today I realized that I had unofficially adopted a certain pair of pants as 'pasta pants'. They're a light grey heathered sweatpant-type of pants. And how did this come about? Because making homemade pasta while you're wearing dark or black pants is just an invitation to disaster. There's just way too much flour flying around during the process. Even wearing an apron doesn't do it 100%. And while my pasta pants may still have flour-y spots all over after the fettucine is done and drying on the rack, I'll never, ever know for sure. Ignorance IS bliss!
