Happy Grandparents Day!

In honor of Grandparent's Day I decided to bake me up some bread pudding from a recipe by my grandmother. Happy Grandparents Day guys! Love you!

The Kohlrabi Experience

Ok, so a long time ago I heard about Kohlrabi. The name of it and the way it was described made me want to try it out for myself. Well, in Nebraska, Kohlrabi doesn't seem to exist. Not even at Whole foods market! Until Yesterday. :) I happened to stumble upon Kohlrabi at the local Hyvee. Hyvee! can you believe it! So i decided that the reason I couldn't seem to find it anywhere is because it was simply not in season.
Anyways.....

This is the recipe I made for it- wasn't too bad, but the taste of Kohlrabi is definitely unique and might take some acquiring.

The Great Reallocation.

Today in the wonderful world of shoes, i spent time re-organizing a store that was just organized two months ago. Oh how i just love the smell of cardboard and vinyl in the afternoon. There is just something about that musty smell in each of our shoe boxes. I don't know if that smell is because the boxes were heated to their melting point in the back of a ups truck, or if the poor little dude in China making it decided to have a tuna sandwich. Either way, I was less than eager to move large bulky metal shelves around strategically through the store and put them in places that feel like they just were- BECAUSE THEY WERE!
