You can call me SL, this is about living.

Aftermath

I am going on my sixth day of eating turkey and am having a hard time getting back to normal after the holiday. The stuffing, gravy, and cinnamon ice cream were finished as of yesterday, the pumpkin pie made it until Monday, and the Brussels sprouts met their fate on Saturday. The only foods left to tackle are mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and turkey. At whatever point The Swede and I finish the turkey, we will have eaten 10 lbs of meat between the two of us. (Minus the weight of the bones, an important calculation according to The Swede.)

I had zero intention of participating in any form of Black Friday, but after a visit to the New Museum, The Swede and I went into Whole Foods for lunch and came out with a one gallon beer making kit. We then found ourselves in Crate and Barrel, where I purchased a "Unikko" apron by Maija Isola, my favorite Marimekko designer, and subsequently into Sur La Table, Dean and DeLuca, Muji, and then CB2. So much for not shopping.
