Here's a random post for ya . . . some of the latest things I'm loving, from cleaning products to lotions to . . . of course, food!
MARIONBERRY . . . ANYTHING! Probably my favorite thing right now. This, if you can't tell, is a picture of pancakes with Marionberry jam. My friend Deb gave me a huge jar of her fabulous jam after we got back to Oregon, and the first time I cracked it open, I put it on a waffle with whipped cream. It was heavenly. More like dessert than breakfast! Can't wait to go berry picking and learn to make jam on my own . . . and syrup, and ice cream, and smoothies, and sorbet, etc. . . . SO tasty!
BATH AND BODY WORKS SHIMMERY LOTION. Got a pedicure with my mom a few weeks back, and they used some of this shimmery lotion from Bath and Body Works. I loved it! It made my legs feel so pretty! :) The Cucumber Melon scent featured here, just to clarify, would be my LEAST favorite scent, thanks to an old college roomie. It always makes me think of good ol' Chan Chan. (That, mixed with rotten milk.) I know, not nice, but neither was the smell.
TOSTITOS CREAMY SPINACH DIP. My sister Mary brought this stuff to a family function this summer, and I have not been able to stop thinking about it. I know, pathetic, but it is SOOOOOO good! I like to heat it up a little bit. Ashamed to admit that the most recent jar, which we bought only a little over a week ago, is almost gone, and I can't credit Grant with eating very much of it. He's not a huge fan. I, on the other hand, am hooked. (P.S. I like that in this photo, which I got off the Internet, the dip has been gotten into. Makes me feel like I've got a friend out there.)
SWIFFER SWEEPER/DUSTER/MOPPER. (Pardon the informercial moment on this one!) K, I know I'm WAY behind in catching on to this one, but the Swiffer is my new best friend! I've got a lot more floors to keep clean, and the Swiffer starter kit I picked up has been wonderful! The funniest thing about it was when I was looking at it at Costco, I literally had two other women come and give me unsolicited testimonials about how much they love their Swiffers. No, seriously. One lady went on and on about how she has this hundred-and-some-ridiculous-number pound Great Dane that she uses her Swiffer to clean up after, at which point her testimonial was negated in my book on grounds of insanity (Who lets a Great Dane in their house?!? Oh yeah, my neighbors when I was little did, and it used to knock over their toddler.), but the nicer, less flamboyant woman who smiled and assured me that yes, it's much easier than regular mopping, re-convinced me to make the purchase.
