Going to Memphis


Posted by MsWillis

The girls and I decided to take a weekend trip to Memphis and hit some Jazz clubs. I love that shit. Just a road trip makes me happy, but to go to Memphis for a Jazz weekend is awesome. I love the saxophone, and most Jazz bands have a sax player in it. There are also the obligatory blues clubs to go to as well. We are going to stay with my friend Alicia’s family while we are there. They have a basement that has been made into an apartment, and it is empty at the moment. So, we get a free place to crash as well as awesome southern soul food.

Every woman should take a road trip with her girls before she settles down. It is a bonding experience for you and your friends as well as a while lot of fun. If you are lucky like we are, you get to meet extended family of your friends along the way. My girls and I have met so many members of each others families, that when we all get married the weddings are going to be huge. Well, I am going to go pack for this trip and I will see you guys on the flip side.


Cake Art

I thought I was doing well by baking several dozen cookies over the holidays. But some people are able to do so much more. Look at this gorgeous cake. I wish I had thought of doing something like this.


Wafers

There are some cookies brought out at Christmas time that you rarely see the rest of the year. For example, Pepperidge Farm offers like gingerbread men over the holidays. There is a company called Royal Dansk that sells wafer cookies. Have you seen them? They come in a small round tin and each cookie is a thin pancake sized cookie that is rolled up into a little straw sized cookie and then filled with a flavored creme. My favorite are the vanilla wafers filled with vanilla creme. But they have several others and they are all very tasty with a nice cup of hot tea on a winter’s night.


Fast and Cheap

Lunch time soon and I’m starving. There is a meeting in less than an hour, so going to a nice place is out of the question. I need fast food and I need it fast. I need it cheap, too. I guess it will be Taco Bell for me today. What are you having?


A Second Sub for Just a Buck


Posted by MsWillis

The sandwich shop by my house is running a special deal in October. For the whole month of October, if you buy one sub from them you can get a second sub for only $1. That is a bargain – you save at least $6 or $7 on your order for two subs. I don’t usually think of having subs for dinner, but for that price I can see having a sub once a week and not having to cook.
