The Finer Things Club

This weekend I had my own version of "The Finer Things Club" established by Pam, Toby and Oscar on "The Office."  First, and most importantly, I finished "Angela's Ashes," which has been on my book list since, oh, let's say 1997.  I've been busy.  For the past 15 years...

I made my Grandma's Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies.  Definitely one of the finer things in life.

I reached my summer goal (yay me!!!) of trying the ice cream at Mrs. Cavanaugh's.  I love that that they have this ginormous, totally 80's picture of Mrs. C. still prominently displayed in the store.  Almost as much as I love their mindy mint ice cream.  And I will be going back for caramel pralines and cream in the immediate future.

I saw "The Butler."  Because if Oprah is in a movie about a black man who worked as a butler at the White House from Eisenhowerer through the Reagan administration, you feel compelled to see it.
