I "heart" Giada

I love food. I love eating it, preparing it, reading about it and watching tv about it. I watch a lot of food network and Giada de Laurentiis is one of my favorite chefs/personalities. I like her because she dresses really cute and she makes food that I would actually eat. That is important to me. If it doesn't appeal to me, then I don't watch your show. So anyway, I was in Target and saw that she has a line of cookware, bakeware, utensils, etc. She also has some food items. A few pasta sauces, some dried pasta and a couple of vinaigrettes. Since my family is picky about food, I got the basic tomato and basil pasta sauce. It was yummy. I tasted it once I opened it and thought that it would make a good pizza sauce.

Now I want her set of cookware. It's a simple 10 piece stainless steel set. I like the shape of it. Putting it on my wish list.

Freezer Friday

We ordered a deep freezer the week before the first Feb blizzard struck. The delivery got cancelled due to the snow. The delivery was rescheduled for the following weekend, but that is when the second blizzard hit and the city was shut down for a week. So.....another cancellation. Well, the freezer was finally delivered on Friday. Yay! I am hoping that this will help us save money in the long run. I usually have to go to the store a couple of times a week to buy stuff because our fridge freezer is so small. It was nice to actually go to Sam's and take advantage of the frozen food bulk buys.

Smells Good

I was having one of those days (weeks) where I needed some kind of retail therapy. As soon as I walked into the store, I saw this on a display table. It is Halle Berry's newest perfume, Halle by Halle Berry-Pure Orchid. It smells good. Unlike her first perfume, which I did not like, this one is more floral. It's not heavy and could be worn every day. And since I paid less than $15 for it (0.5 oz), I think I did good! Much better than turning to food for a pick me up.
