Trader Joe's made the price right and included other cheeses, For me, that's the tipping point.<BR/><BR/>Anne, I am locating Turner and Hull on Google maps and will be waiting there when they open on Saturday. Be sure to watch Donald "The Cowboy" Cerone two stepping his way to a cagefighting title shot on Versus on Sunday night.

A friend of mine had a big group dinner there the other day and raved about it. My problem is that I want a $7 smorgasbord. This isn't necessarily a critique of Cous Cous; it's my inability to commit to a restaurant and order several platters of whatever the server says is good. Maybe that will be a resolution for 2009, de-stress my inner control freak.<BR/><BR/>In retrospect, I didn't really deliver the bizarro bargains that I promised (except for that t-shirt). Well, Karen did bring me another treat: Bliss brand body scrub and self-tanning lotion. Bliss is one of my favorite boutique brands to look for in the clearance section. Of course, I'll use the body scrub, but the tanning stuff came with it. Karen figured I'd throw it out, but I've never fake-baked before. Maybe it's time to turn myself traffic cone orange for a change.RVA Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214920696412259243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35720139.post-63624957425296710922009-01-21T00:14:00.000-05:002009-01-21T00:14:00.000-05:00Manchego cheese is soooo good.
