I check the weather conditions first thing every day as I sit up in bed. I look out the big windows from our bedroom and squint enough to determine if it’s snow, clouds, sun, dark. This morning I got excited because the hillsides were white!
looks like snow

Jeremy was a doll and washed all of the new glassware for me last night. The new glassware is… well, what I had in mind were a dozen shot glasses. But after considering the logistical issues involved with shot glasses and getting food out of them (yeah – not for doing shots, sorry folks) I realized I wanted wider shot glasses. It also makes for easier cleaning. I like simple, clean lines. I found exactly what I was looking for in some votive cups at Pier 1 (where else?) for cheap. *happy*
It’s that whole individual servings kick that I’m on. Not to mention, I like playing with food in miniature.
nacho bites

blistex for scale

I could have easily bought all 30, except the quality of the other 18 was suspect.
