The year is almost over, and most of my time has been spent trying to wrap up things from 2013 before taking some time off to spend with family. But my mind keeps wandering to 2014 and what’s in store… I’ve got big plans and can’t wait to sit down and assess the projects in my life and find ways to make them bigger and better.
When I haven’t been bogged down with all of that, I’ve been checking out the following:
Favorite Tumblr: The Bob’s Burger Experiment
Someone is making all of the burger specials that are on the board in “Bob’s Burgers.” I want to eat them all. While kicking myself for not coming up with this first. Check it out!
Favorite Music: The NSYNC Christmas Album.
WHAT. Judge me all you want. It’s not Christmas until I listen to it.
Favorite Food: Muddy Buddies
This is my go-to holiday snack. It’s quick, easy, and delicious. The only problem is I end up eating way more than I should. Whatever, I’m gonna make some more tonight. Make some yourself.
Favorite Holiday Helpers: Whole Foods Wine and Cheese Department
I went to a wine and cheese pairing tasting last week at Whole Foods, and it was amazing. The wine and cheese folks at Whole Foods are ridiculously knolwedgeable, and are pretty sassy/fun to boot. I gave them some of my toughest questions (“What’s a good riesling for someone who doesn’t like rieslings?,” “What’s your dirtiest, earthiest tasting wine, and what cheese should I pair with it?” and “Got any wines from the Horse Heaven Hills area?”) and they were able to answer them all with flying colors. Plus, their wines were not as spendy as I thought they’d be. If you need to grab a wine or a nice cheese for a party or gift, hit them up and challenge their knowledge. You’ll walk out with something great.
What are you loving this week?
I hope they gave you a drier, more sour german riesling for the first whole foods question 🙂
No judgement here! I love that CD, when I was younger there was a period of time where I listened to it all year round because I liked it so much. Personally I’ve been listening to 50s Christmas playlists on 8tracks, EXO’s ‘Miracles in December’ Mandarin album, making these Game of Thrones snowflakes: http://www.kryshiggins.com/free-game-of-thrones-inspired-snowflake-patterns/ and attempting to get organized before the new year. Not loving the last, but it’s for a better new year, so hey!
