Sunday 11/21/10 STUFF A BAG, TASTE, WINE

November 22, 2010

Sunday 11/21/10

I’ve been TRYING to not schedule “stuff” on Sundays.
I really just want to relax. Been fairly good at accomplishing this goal –
yet the inevitable errands are still unavoidable….

neighbor Denise runs an annual food drive
at Thanksgiving for the food bank where she works.
Cimg1067
EVERY YEAR Denise gets more people involved & the donations
increase pound by pound. Let me know if you are interested
in being involved via food or $$$ donations.
We’d love to have you!

And PLEASE shop at GIANT — they donate all the bags!!! hundreds of them!

WHO is getting a surprise gift from HELEN?

TASTE was on our errand list today.

TASTE has vats of Balsamic vinegar & olive oils that you
can try before you buy. Some are really quite nice.
Cimg1078
Trying FIG BALSAMIC VINEGAR (didn’t get it).
It was good but we bought others.
Cimg1079
Pomegranate Balsamic vinegar.
Liked this one too!
Cimg1080
Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar…..
did not love this one…

WEGMAN’s the grocery store near us, is now
equipped with wine vending machines.
Not sure how it works because it was
CLOSED on Sundays…….
yea, I don’t get that part — I mean isn’t is
supposed to promote convenience?

Speaking of WINE…..
Do you know what WINE you want to serve with THANKSGIVING DINNER?
Are you going to someone’s house & need ideas of what to bring??
If you haven’t seen my blog about what to serve, here it is:

maybe you are wondering “WHERE can I buy the WINE?”
here are a few ideas (for those living in proximity to moi):
A
As you know – I do like Phillip’s Fine Wines
located in Stockton, NJ.
Tell Dick Phillips, the owner, Helen sent ya!
B
Princeton Corkscrew is also a GREAT PLACE to shop for wine.
Princeton is also a fun town to tool around….great shops/restaurants.

Here we have our Pennsylvania Wine & Spirits Shop….
don’t be like this guy – wandering around aimlessly…
take my list with you… sometimes you can
even find someone knowledgeable to help you!
D
the last place I’d like to suggest is MOORE BROTHERS.
they offer 3 Locations. NJ, DE & NYC.
You will be offered personal & knowledgeable service.
Beware if you get Greg Moore — he likes to TALK!
(but in a good way…..)

HAPPY WINE SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!

if anyone needs more specific help = please let me know!!!

always positive,

Helcha πŸ™‚
