1. Penzey’s Spices. We were running low on our favorite kosher salt, so I headed to our local store. They were out of the boxes of salt, but I got a couple of bags, which will tide us over for a bit. But they also had 3 other coupons on offer, where I could have gotten a handful of spices for a fraction of their normal price. Most of them I turned down, as we don’t use them much and would probably just linger in the cabinet past their best by date, but I couldn’t turn down the free bottle of Mexican vanilla extract. Penzey’s is a great store for cooks and bakers, and if you’re not on their mailing list getting notified of all these amazing deals, then that’s on you.
2. Soccer. This weekend, I watched some Bundesliga. I watched some Premier League. I watched some MLS. Soon, I will have to make some time for American football (we did watch some preseason Chiefs on Saturday), but for now, it’s all about the soccer, and I am soaking it up! It’s especially fun to watch those Premier League games that are turning all the expectations upside down. Loving it! Goooooooooooooool!
3. I had a little bit of a computer issue this week, but what can you do when a bundle of cuteness curls up on your keyboard and takes a nap? Just take a picture and try not to wake him up. I took a couple of days off last week, so I got some extra kitten time, and that is always something to be thankful for. I got some extra rest and hung out with him playing ribbons and balls and just enjoyed being at home. In unrelated news, if anyone is looking to hire a full-time remote book reviewer/cat cuddler, I am open to offers.
