adventures in weekending: merry christmas to me!

In an effort to keep the holiday gift-giving cheap this year, Bob and I are starting to frequent the thrifts and fleas like mad. There's no shortage of wonderful trinkets and treasures, but nothing has really spoken to me yet. However, I did find a pink blazer that I'm absolutely in love with. An early Christmas gift to myself, I suppose!

Chicken and rice from the Halal Guys cart, our yummy after-shopping nourishment. This is must-try street food (at about $5 a heaping plate!).

 Followed by out-of-this-world chocolate and praline cream-covered pecans. Max Brenner is a genius.

Thanks to turkey day, I had an extended weekend and loved every bit of it. A portion of it was spent watching (and re-watching) British period dramas like Lost in Austen and North & South. If you haven't seen them, you're missing out on some seriously good stuff. I love a good swoon-fest.
