sam_gamgeeHad off today since I have to work tomorrow. (Which is going to be insane since it's going to be Homecoming.)
Got up and did my normal Friday/Saturday morning routine - went to WW (-.6 yay!) and Curves. And then off to Panera for a bagel and frozen coffee. I also got some reading and writing done while there.
From there I picked up my grandmother and we went up to Wilmington to the Flavour of Britian - which is a tea room/tea shop - and we had tea. (My grammy had gotten a gift certificate for that from my aunt for her birthday.) It was really neat. She got English Breakfast tea and I had Earl Grey and they brought out a little platter with some finger sandwiches (cheese and a spread, roast beef, egg, and tuna) and a couple petit fores and tarts. And then we also each had a lemon scone with lemon curd and raspberry jam. Needless to say, we didn't finish all the sandwhiches and by the time we were done, we were both like, "Yeah, no more eating for the rest of the day." Before we left, she got a jar of the lemon curd and I got a box of Jaffa cakes, since I've never had them (even with living in London for a month, I know).
After that, we went up to Trader Joe's because my grandmother had never been and was curious. I ended up getting a half gallon of milk because we needed it and a box of the No Pudge brownie mix (which is really good). And my grammy got a bottle of balsalmic vinegar - since she likes it a lot on her salads and was surprised at how cheap it was.
So, all in all, we had a really good afternoon. It's been a long time since we've done that (though we do see each other regularly).
This evening I took Patch for a walk and enjoyed the cooler weather. And I also did some cleaning. (Very exciting, I know. But it's interesting the stuff you can find.)

Date: 2007-10-13 03:19 am (UTC)No Pudge Brownies = Heaven -- unless, as I've been known to do, you lose all semblance of control and gobble the whole pan :-(

Oh, they are. I don't think I could - my body's "no. more. sugar!" would kick in first.
