cyber Monday

I got my boyfriend a selection of cheese from his favorite store (Murray's Cheese) in NY. They had free overnight shipping for orders placed yesterday, and you could pick the day you wanted it to ship, so it will be arriving on his birthday. He's going to be psyched.

I'll be doing the rest of my shopping mostly at this craft show http://www.foundryshow.com/ where the goods are hand made, and there's no sales tax, so that might be about it for my online purchases. We're lucky to have a lot of good craft here in RI, so I can't really justify not buying local.

I made it until about 10pm. Then, a friend sent me an email with a coupon for www.johnnycupcakes.com

I couldn't resist the hoodie with a cupcake and crossbones. I mean, I feel like that is me. A little sweet, a little tough DH said happy early christmas, and I have said hoodie on its way to me

I saw no need to wait until Monday and bought stuff online over the weekend.

Tulip, can I join your family?
We started buying the olive oil we bought at the factory we visited in Baena Spain. It was $5.00 a bottle. On line, it's $35.00. I only use it for recipes, dressings, etc. and not for cooking, but it's so good I don't want to give it up.

Sure! The olive oil party will be next week. It will be like a Mary Kay or Avon party, but with olive oil and fresh baked bread, which is, in my opinion, infinitely more appealing than makeup! My friend will bring her selections of oils and I'll invite some neighbors and I'll bake some bread.

When I was in London years ago, I came across an olive oil bar. That's all they sold, and you could taste the oils (with bread) at the bar and make your selection. It was fantastic.

I save really good olive oil for dipping in fresh bread.

That sounds SO good!

I ordered some Steen's cane syrup (and molassas) because I couldn't find it in stores around here. Steen's is a small company in Abbeville, LA. I was homesick over the weekend and wanted to make a Gateaux Syrop (Syrup Cake).
I still haven't done a thing for my far flung family. They were far flung before I moved too. So I'll be ordering something, I just can't decide what......
