I love doing this, and usually after I have achieved some great feat in school, work or service.
I like to go to my local grocery store -- whether it be a general store, a specialty shop, or the co-op, and find a nice sampling of cheese, meats and crackers.
Then, while home, I set out a little tray for myself and set a place for a beautiful display.
This was a big week for me in a lot of important ways. In one regard, I have been waiting years -- yes, years -- for this exact moment.
And, so, I chose to celebrate in this small way. Rosemary crackers. An orange and fig jam. And a mozzarella roll with Italian sausage.
This is one of the ways I like to pamper myself when it is well-deserved: with delicious treats and quiet time alone. I feel, in these moments, so happy, blessed and in peace.
Who's That Girl
- Create. Snap. Eat.
- WHO'S THAT GIRL: A higher education obsessed foodie who is documenting her life in the kitchen. I love to cook delicious, gourmet-style foods for those I love and always welcome a challenge in the kitchen. With that challenge comes an impromptu nature. I tend to avoid following recipes to the exact, so you are not likely to find very many posted here. Being that I am a Libra and am learning to be free in the kitchen, the story always goes, "A pinch of this and a smattering of that!" Thank you for visiting -- and happy reading!
