Snowed In Saturday...

The weather outside IS frightful...My bargains are frozen in my car...can't get the door open! I did some serious damage shopping at WSonoma and Pottery Barn Outlet...75 off all holiday, and PB at least 5o off everything in the store. I also helped out at Home Goods...they were only 25 off...but such cute things..
I try to do what I can to help the economy...:)

Some of the bags I brought in, so I tried out the Abelskiver pan I got yesterday..

I usually am a guest at breakfast, dh makes it every morning, but today I was anxious to try the pan, and I took a recipe off the net...I added chopped apples, and I put apples cooked in a bit of butter and cinnamon over the top.. They were good, and I hope to experiment with them and other uses for the pan..maybe something savory..

The pan I got at WmSonoma outlet...it makes little round ball shaped pancakes, and I guess you can fill them...I didn't get that far yet...
Place mat, reversible Christmas Tree PB..they came to 1.25 each.
I am sure at some point in the next week you will see the other side, but I like checks!

And yes, that is whipped cream on top, not a healthy bfast, well the apples are, but I had whipped cream left from the cake I made the other night to bring to a dinner party...

It was a triple layer devils food, iced with choc, then whipped cream in between each layer, and whipped cream icing...the pics on top I ordered on the net....only had to buy a gross... :) ..so I will have them a while, eternity and beyond...

Hope all of you are enjoying this holiday season..Christmas, Hanukkah, Festivus for the rest of us, or whatever you celebrate...but do celebrate!

A few scenes of the season here...

My Irish Nativity...from Galway?, Dublin? no...TJMAXX but I love the shamrocks on it..

  1. Your breakfast looks wonderful. Do the little pancake puffs, puff up while baking? Apple and whip cream topping sounds great too.

    Love the cake & I hope the car thaws out soon :-) You are the bargain queen.

  14. Hi Kathleen,
    Thanks for visiting! It's nice to meet another fellow Long Islander... where on the Island do you live? I loved your blog, I am a fan of Williams Sonoma and Sur La Table in Manhasset, have you ever been there? If not, you are in for a real treat. I will add you to my list, and I will be back again. See you for Tablescape Tuesday-- my table is all ready!
