Thrilled with some recent purchases

[Veronica]

I've bought some new things recentlt that I'm just delighted with.

The first was a bit of a splurge for our trip to the Azores.

The Patagonia cashmere hoody....

I wear this thing everywhere - in the morning when I get up over my jammies, on the bike on my morning commute, out to dinner. It's getting a lot of use.

The second thing is a pair of Timberland shoes. I got them from LL bean, but I don't see them on the website anymore. I like these because they are comfortable in the classroom and feel good on the bike. It's a rare shoe that has a stiff enough sole for riding and can be worn when you're on your feet all day.

Finally, I want to think SadieKate for turning me on to Brown Cow yogurt with cereal for breakfast. And aka_Kim for suggesting the light coffee flavor. I look forward to breakfast.

And, I thought you'd be thrilled with discovering that fungus in quiche can be good.

That too! I need the name of the bakery so I can make a special trip some weekend.

It's our local grocery, Nugget. It think there is one in Vacaville. Just try Portobella mushrooms. They're good in marinara over polenta also. Happy to broaden your eating horizons; you've certainly expanded my cycling experiences.

And crimini mushrooms are baby portobellas if you don't want to deal with such a big 'shroom.

Portobella burgers are SO yummy!!

I saw that cashmere hoodie in the Patagonia catalog and am drooling over it. Hmmmmm... new bike computer or cashmere hoodie for Christmas? Decisions, decisions.

[Veronica]

Well my theory... you NEED a bike computer. So you should buy it. The hoodie would make a great gift from your honey 'cause it's warm and snuggly.

Or one could be from your kids and one from your honey.
