How was your trip? FASCIST!
Man, I never should have taken those days off. Going back to work has been tough. I just think about long lunches and lazing about.
I went to Beverly Center and looked at shoes. I saw the cutest pair ever, that I was sure were going to be mine, til I flipped them over. $300. Fergetit. Instead I headed over to Cook's Library and spent two hours there, looking through cookbooks.
There are very specific things I look for when I buy a cookbook. It has to have full, lovely, color pictures, I like to see the food. It has to use good fonts. I am a font whore, you know. And most importantly, I need to be able to randomly turn to at least five pages and be able to cook those recipes easily. Meaning, the cookbook is usable. Here are the ones I picked up:
I could have probably got some of them cheaper on the internet, but I could tell that the store was struggling a bit. I mean, a store that only sells cookbooks, who the hell is going to go there? Besides me. Ha. I certainly didn't spend enough to make up for my heartwrenching loss of the $300 shoes, but it could have been worse. I could have bought THESE $355 mouse shoes instead:
*Yes, I had my camera with me. The shoesalesman at the very expensive store was not happy with me.

But how could he deny you the pic? They're mouse shoes!
I've always wondered what it would be like to buy $300 shoes. I wonder if I'd ever be able to bring myself to spend that much on one pair...even if I won the lottery, I probably couldn't do it.
I love those mouse shoes.
Shut up. I don't cook.
$355? Sheesh, get me a glue gun and I'll make a pair.
That's how I pick a cookbook, too! I mean, really, how can one be expected to make something without seeing what it looks like first?
I agree 100% with Myra!
$355?!?!?!? Those are for adults, right? I mean like not for a toddler girl. People wear those?Geesh.
Why are you always right by my house but you never call, never come over?
we all love the mouse shoe pic at my house. I have a friend that has some $300ish camper/twins - the sunglasses. Unfortunately for everyone she knows, she has Paris Hilton sized feet...
