Foodzie Box November 2010
Have I told you about Foodzie yet? It's this great little company based in San Francisco that works to bring artisan food to foodies like you and me! Does that make sense? Too bad if it doesn't. Well you can sign up to get a monthly package full of little treats. The items are typically smaller portions than if you purchase the items alone, but it's meant to get people to try these mom and pop products. Then if you like the stuff you can go buy more of it on Foodzie.com. I was impressed! I'd say you get 5-7 items each time, and it's only $14.99 each month. You know you want to sign up too.
Thanksgiving 2010
Turkey Day 2010 was more interesting than normal. It turns out both sets of parents made plans with the step-family and my sister with her in-laws. What's one to do? Well, although I know everyone wanted me with them, I decided to venture out and spend it with friends this year. I liked it. But yes family, I missed you too :)
