Pirates and Walkers

Published November 22, 2006 by CabledSheep

Knitting progress: Almost done with the back of the Empire Shell. I had hoped to get it finished this afternoon, but had too many errands to run to do any knitting - but I should be able to get it finished tonight, and maybe get started on the front.

But on the bright side, I got to go down to Draper for a stop at Pirate O’s. What a great store - too bad I don’t get down there very often. I came back with all kinds of goodies - some anchovy-stuffed olives (which I love, even though I normally don’t like anchovies), some Valrhona dark chocolate, Sanders fudge sauce (from Michigan - brings back many memories for DH), Lavosh crackers, and a great find: Walkers mincemeat tarts, made with Glenfiddich. And boy are they good! (You can also get them without the Glenfiddich). And Jackie, not to tempt you or anything, but they have a whole shelving unit full of Walkers products. On the way home, we stopped at Nevole’s for some New York style pizza. It was very good, and we’d go there again, but we still think the best in the state is Tommy Angelo’s (but it’s not easy for us to get to since it’s on the air force base now). Rusted Sun is probably still going to be our “usual”.

For your drooling pleasure (these remind me of the raisin cookies I used to get at the bakery):
