Ginger Affininty

unlike brittany anne who posted that she didn't like gingers - i have a weird love for them

i was sitting in my office thinking about the carrot cake we're having this afternoon for a co-workers bday and my love for cream cheese frosting

and it (bizarely) and suddenly came to me - if i had to choose between the existance of cream cheese frosting or fred and george weasley - i'd pick f+g

i love those gingers - they are my ultimate

but they are not the only ones for me

More of my favorite things

some times i feel prettier on days where i didn't put on make up and have a ponytail on days that i get fully ready.
it's delightful. just capital.

Domestic Godess of the food made on a cast iron skillet variety

Hello I'm no Ashley Wise.
www.colorsareblushandbashful.blogspot.com

I'm no Barefoot Contessa.

And I'm not Bree Van DeCamp Hodge.

I just make really good easy food on a cast iron skillet. Whenever I'm cooking one of my divine little meals I think, oh if I could just feed this to a man he would straight up marry me! I am having a terrible memory lapse but I used to say, the day i make on of these for a boy I'll turn around and he'll be on his knee proposing to me. I turned around after making one for my roomate's [hott like fire] little brother and she told him to get down on his knee. Even as a joke, it was one of the best moments of my life.

Well here I am today, fresh on a simple but outstanding egg sandwich I put together wishing I could have made it for a boy b/c I'd be planning the July 4 wedding right now! I fry and egg on extrememly hot cast iron skillet. I fry 1 piece of Kirkland brand (b/c it's the very best and saltiest and fits best with this meal) lunch meat ham on the pan. Toast a normal piece of bread. Spread a Laughing cow on it. Cut tomato slices all over it. ham. egg. pop the yoke and let it soak up all over. DONE.
It's so good.
I also do a similar bit with chicken, Essence of Emeril, and spinach that makes me go weak at the knees.

"Never mistake movement for action" - Earnest (best name ever) Hemmingway





I frequently come across, even at some of my favorite business institutions,  bad customer service. So what is there to do about it? Complain of course. But complaning, like EH said, is not action unless you do something about it.

That is why I love "Contact Us" on business websites.

Once at Costco (Heaven on Earth) I had an uncharacteristically bad trip. Long story summed up - everything that could have gone wrong before even getting to the door did - but everyone was nice and apologetic and basically made me feeel good about being a customer there even when they were having problems.
THEN
at the door - the employee couting items realized that my water bottles were not on the reciept. They forget to charge me for the water bottles under the cart. So instead of appologizing for the inconvenience and letting me know of my options of going back and paying or leaving the water the horrible employee does this - in this accusitory voice he says"
"You didn't pay for those"
pointing at the water.
I didn't really know how to respond
I paused
so I just said "I just won't keep them then"
He just stood there... tapping his foot... waiting... for me to take it off my cart.

I got in my car, called Costco (you know I had that number in my phone), and I let them know how that whole thing went down.

I DO THIS TYPE OF THING ALL THE TIME!
People think it's weird.

But if I go to Jimmy Johns and the Coke tastes bad - I email them.

If I go to Central Market, and have a great experience all around, except for the abrupt awful rudeness of the catering people. You know they get an email about it.

If bathrooms are in a state of disrepair - you bet that place gets an email about it.

I love it.

I email businesses more than I email friends (that's not true, but lying is fun)

Waltz

a good makes for a good interesting and powerful movie scene.

cases in point.

The Waltz for Eva and Che



they are not in love, that's not the point of the dance

Che (Antonio) is more of the narrator of the story and not an actual character

you know this song played on repeat for 3 weeks after i bought the album

i love 0:55-1:15 where you see her face as she realizes she loves him

My dear friend Brittany Anne wrote a song of her favorite things. I tried too as well, but I couldn't make them rhyme so i used one of my favorite things to find pics - google images!
