A new bakery, Petite Provence, opened kinda sorta near us. I've been there three times this week, always to buy baguettes (though today a jam-filled scone ended up in my bag somehow).
Oh dear, I haven't posted in a long time! Sorry, poor neglected Vox blog.
I almost bought this chocolate today:
They are offered by Coco.Luxe Confections. The chocolates are reasonably priced, but unfortunately shipping would have been $26 or something! Guess I'll just have to take a trip to the Bay Area.
Yummy chocolate from Norway. The Stratos bar is kind of like the Aero bar in that it is sort of an aerated chocolate, but it seems pretty dense and milky. It is delicious.
We went to the Hillsdale Farmer's Market today. I got a hanging flower basket, which I'm hoping I don't kill. Peter got a pastrami sandwich from the Pastrami King, and he said it was outstanding.
Now that's pastrami!
This is what happens when you don't have the key to the camper shell and you tell your mother that the ARC donation truck is going to be in your neighborhood in a couple days.
It's a soft serve ice cream machine! Find it here. My regular ice cream maker died, so I DO need a replacement ...
I traveled the globe yesterday, but I didn't have to leave my neighborhood. First I went to a Korean market that recently reopened after burning to the ground last winter. It was very clean, and they had big tubs of kim chee. What's not to like about that? I got some roasted corn tea there:
I had corn tea once at a Korean restaurant, and it was delicious. It tasted like corn! Who'd have thunk? The corn tea looks like Corn Nuts.
So after the Korean market I headed to this weird little new strip mall that has a bunch of international offerings. On the spur of the moment I got a manicure from the Vietnamese shop. It was the first time I had ever gotten a manicure on my own volition. It was great, and now my hands don't look totally ratty (though they still look like old lady hands). After the manicure I headed to the Russian market for some more Russian chocolate eggs!
