Appetites and Adventures

A Perfect 10

By

I am not-so-secretly a teensy bit Type A.

In my head, I hide it well… but no.  

1 more day until Vegas gets here for the holidays.  I Can’t Focus.  So I make lists (you’re not the only one Meghan).  Lists of things to cook, places to take Vegas, items to remember to bring to mom’s for Christmas, errands to run, random tasks to complete before Vegas gets here… it’s all fun to me though.

So today I bring you a list of fun things I’m focusing on to pass the time while waiting for Tuesday.  It’s a perfect 10.  Because I like lists of prime numbers or 10.

1. House Plant’s Mate

Flowers arrive from Vegas on the regular.  Last week’s delivery was a friend for House Plant – Christmas Cactus.  Now we both have mates from the desert.

2. New Hair

Karen is my longest and – until recently – most meaningful relationship.  I love going to see my friend and getting my hair ‘did.  We’ve been together for 16 years!  We laugh, but we practically raised each other.

3. Tweets the Season

My friend Rich and his wife throw my favorite party of the season.  It’s called Tweets the Season and it’s a gathering of food-loving Atlanta tweeters.  Great friends and amazing food.  I swear this man missed his calling – I’d choose his eats over just about any food in ATL (and I’ve eaten *almost* everywhere).

4. Merry Fishmas to meeeee

A special delivery arrived from Sizzlefish.  I finally got to try their new shrimp offering!!!  It’s awesome.

PSA: If you’re still looking for a last minute gift, consider some fish.  I’m serious.  They are offering 15% off with the code HOLIDAY right now.  I sent some to Vegas!  Vegas sends flowers, I send fish… #strangebutgood

5. Oh, Fudge

Every Christmas I have to make fudge.  It’s a super secret recipe… the one of the back of the Jet Puffed marshmallow creme.  Hey, if it ain’t broke… I do shake it up a bit with mix-ins.  This batch had Nuttzo swirled in!

I have to get it out of the house ASAP.  It’s like crack.  I ate fudge “crumbs” as an appetizer for breakfast Saturday morning as was slicing this up to take to my trainers.  My sweet tooth is unstoppable.

6. Pumpkin Seed Gouda

Speaking of self-control… I also have none when it comes to cheese.  This Pumpkin Seed Gouda was purchased Saturday.  I have managed NOT to open it yet.  Saving it for Christmas Eve’s cheese board and charcuterie.  So far, so gouda.

7. Ninja Cookies

Again with the sweet tooth.  My Ninja Cookies kick your sugar cookies’ ass.

I love cookies.  Did I mention I was PMS-ing?

8. Kitchen Tool Or Sex Toy?

I invented a new game while wrapping presents…

9. Christmas Booze

There will be 8 of us crammed in my mom’s house for 2 days.  This magnum bottle of sparking rosé from Schramsberg couldn’t have arrived at a better time.

And yes, my festive mood extended beyond a tree to an over-priced poinsetta.  Who am I?!

10. Christmas Tree

Because I’m now sappy and festive, another shot of our tree.  Which I love so much that I’ve actually remembered to water it!

This had become the most marvelous time of the year!

Are you a list-maker?

  2. So that is the genius behind all your hair dos which I sound like a broken record when I say I’m envious of haha! She can work magic with scissors!

    Now as for that kitchen gadget…um. I wonder what cakes that is supposed to taste.

  4. Ninja cookies haha love it!! I have become a list maker this year and since I am a recycle freak all of my lists are on receipts and random fliers o lord its bad! I have come to setting dates on my phone otherwise my list is on a receipt from two days ago stuffed in my phone card pocket 🙂 have a fun trip and beautiful holiday!! Xo C

    • I hear that! Had to consolidate my phone note lists and my post-its. I was confusing myself for a while!

  6. That’s hilarious, I thought the fudge recipe on the back was just OUR family secret recipe. Every year my mom says she’s making my grandfather’s homemade fudge… which means getting a jar of marshmallow creme and following the recipe. Merry Christmas pretty lady!

  8. I’m a chronic list maker, much like Santa I’m checking it twice… har har. That gouda! A serious cheese fest is one of the things I’m looking forward to most for xmas… can’t wait to see my pizza face on boxing day O_O

  9. I have a relationship like that with my hair stylist – back in my spa days, I hired her for her first apprentice position. we became friends, then we no longer worked together – many years later she is the only one I’d trust with my hair (she’s a genius).

    I LOVE how festive you are! um, let’s see, just ONE MORE sunrise until Vegas? xxo! enjoy, Merry Christmas!

  11. Haha…who am I? That’s hilarious! Our perspectives sure change when we meet someone. I’m just gonna be a grinch this year. Last year I found out my boyfriend of 3 yrs had been cheating and this entire year I’ve been injured with 3 stress fractures. I think I’m allowed a chip on my shoulder.

  13. Your haircut is super cute!! I love it 🙂 How is that sparkling rose? I’m trying to think of what to drink that night, although homemade Baileys is happening – but something else needs to be here. That gouda cheese looks mad good! I love me some gouda – wonder if my local store has it!? Have a great one Laura!! -Iva
