Why are these Anne Klein slacks $2?
Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011 07:17 pmThe third job in 3 months means third try at assembling a wardrobe.
One ought to dress like one's superior. She's really conservative in clothing department (she hates clothes). Turtleneck, slacks. That's it. Maybe a light sweater. No jewelry, no jacket, no lab coat. She did say that I ought to wear slacks rather than skirts, lots of time on the floor with kids.
I got lucky at the thrift stores today: 3 slacks (1 blue pinstripe, 1 red and yellow pinstripe, 1 plaid), 1 little orange black and yellow Vera silk scarf, 1 green corduroy jacket. =$20.
The red and yellow pinstripe Anne Klein slacks were priced at $2. I figured out that someone let the cuffs out and left the surged edge exposed, no cuff. A 5 minute problem I can sew by myself. Turns out that BLUE TAGS were 50% off, so the slacks were $1.
But it's the $2 Vera silk scarf that really made my day (it's shaped a bit like an undone bow-tie). I found it wadded up behind a plastic rain hat. Based on the signature, it looks like it's one of hers from the early 1950's! I'll take a picture once I have learned to tie it.

Savory Bread Pudding
Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011 10:08 pmAhhh! More Wensleydale! Run!
I was looking at a pile of cornbread-like pancakes left over from the other night, an over-flowing cheese drawer, and many veggies.
Roasted Veggie Bread Pudding
Here's a big list of all sorts of Savory Bread Puddings for whatever you have in your rotter:

I roasted potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and asparagus. Soaked the pancakey chunks in the milk and eggs. Combined Veggies, EggyMilkBread, and cheese, poured in a big dish, then baked for 45 minutes. Filling and surprisingly good.
I'm surprised anytime bread pudding turns out well.
I'll have to remember this when my corn bread needs using up after chili night.
