the fire is so delightful

well, in the spirit of holiday wish lists, here's mine. there's only one thing, and it's a wool coat from j. crew. i've always thought that they were too expensive to ask for (around $200), but since i don't need/can't carry anything home with me, it's easy to choose just one thing that i've been thinking about for years and years.
this one is my fav. i think blondes are so pretty in navy.

i made chicken and wild rice soup tonight and it is delicious, if i do say so. the rice wasn't fully cooked in the first batch i ate.. which i just figured out when i went to put it away and the rice was fully puffed. whoops. maybe that's why it feels like i ate soup made of rocks.
there's a tip though. wild rice at giant: $16 for a tiny box. wild rice at trader joes: $5 for a giant bag.

i leave you with this amazing speech from NY state senator diane savino about why we should legalize gay marriage. she is so right on. it's 7 minutes, just listen to it while you read the news or whatever you do online.

  1. I got an expensive poofy coat from J. Crew for Christmas last year and it was worth every freaking penny. Their coats are well made, pretty, and WARM. I say good choice.
