Settling in

August 29, 2006

I found my favorite salad dressing and my favorite salsa (after frustrating searches), but could not find my favorite kind of wine (Chenin Blanc) even after visiting four local wine and spirit shoppes. I as ready to despair until I discovered Liquor City (I'm not kidding, that's really the name). It's a large discount liquor store (small warehouse, really) near where Larry works (everything is near where Larry works). Among other things, they have the largest selection of wine I've ever seen. And they had at least three kinds of Chenin Blanc (it's arranged by country and region, not by types of wine).

I'm also happy because Larry ran a cable up from the basement so I can watch cable on my TV in the kitchen. I know that's pathetic, but I spend so much time in the kitchen, I've always had a TV there. In Philly I was perfectly happy to watch the networks, which came in fine with "rabbit ears," but here I could literally only get one channel (not even PBS!) So now I'm wired for 80 channels, just in time for the (inevitably disappointing) fall TV season .. . . (I think Larry was pretty proud of his Tool Time act too).

Other than those highlights, it's just the same old same old - being a domestic goddess and job searching in my spare time.

Hope all is well with you.
