| Saturday we decided to have lunch at a local restaurant called BigaLora. |
Before the pizza we had salads, and I particularly liked my beet salad, which had chunks of beets distributed in a mix of arugula, olives, walnuts, goat cheese, red onion, and vinaigrette. I thought the amounts of each ingredient were just right. (Photo from the restaurant’s website.)
In the Mall
After lunch, we decided to walk around the small outdoor mall where the restaurant is located. We looked in the windows of Antrhopologie where I saw a really exaggerated prairie dress with several contrasting flower prints and lacy ruffles. Not like anything they would actually have worn in pioneer days! In fact, more extreme than the “hippie dresses” in that style from the 1970s, when I sewed one or two of them.
Between Antrhopologie and the restaurant is a shop in the chain Sur la Table, which has a wide selection of housewares as well as a classroom where we could see people kneading dough. (Len thought they were probably over-working it.)
We also checked out the kitchen gadgets, though we have so many that we didn’t feel the impulse to buy any unplanned ones. Len did buy a gadget he had been reading about: a dough whisk (in photo). It’s supposed to make the early stages of mixing a small amount of dough more manageable.
Over the last several months, my blogger friend Elizabeth (at Altered Book Lover) has been slowly posting images of all the cups, mugs, and other drinking vessels, as well as other products, at her local spice and housewares store, and when I saw the big selection at Sur la Table, I decided to do the same.
