Fast, Fast Week

This week has gone by quickly again.  I've been fighting a cold and so far I am winning the battle!  I have been going to bed pretty early, taking aspirin, Zicam and Korean citron tea.  I feel pretty good today.  I don't like to be sick and there really isn't time for that now.  I find if I can rest and take care of myself, I'm usually okay.

Today is haircut day and quilt class.  It's been a couple weeks since class, the thought was we'd have time to work on our projects, and I have!  I have 5 rows of the quilt done.  I may even have enough squares made to finish the rows.  I am enjoying the process of the colors and the rows. 

I have not been cooking much.  One night this week we had wonderful strip steaks on the grill.  Last night we kind of snacked.  I had Trader Joe's Three Layer Hummus, pita chips and some brie with Korean tea.  My husband had chicken salad loaded with mayo, crackers and hummus.

Speaking of Trader Joe's, I do recommend the Three Layer Hummus.  The layers are cilantro, plain and roasted red pepper hummus.  It's pretty and tasty.  Also I recommend the Almond Snowman Cookies.  Beware though, they are really good.  We don't have any right now.  They are cute and very, very crisp and tasty. 

My husband likes the Sea Salt Brownies, but they are not my favorite.  They should be with the combo of salt and chocolate, but I would rather leave them alone.  We've also tried the potato pancakes and they were good.  See, no cooking. 

Tonight it's forage for yourself since I have quilt class. 

I am almost done with my shopping.  I have to go to the Dollar Store today and to BJ's.  I know, not very elegant places to shop.  But useful.  I also need a gift card from Lowe's.  Not today though.

This weekend I'll be at the Decatur Cook's Warehouse making pasta with the KitchenAid mixer and attachment.  If you'd like to see it, stop by from 3 to 5.  Also there is a KitchenAid rebate of 25% on the attachments, so good price for them.

Sunday we have a Christmas party to attend which should be fun.  And there will be good food.

I have to go make a shopping list and menu plan for next week now.  We need something other than snacks maybe.  Maybe not, it will depend on the week!
