So I've made up my own personalized albeit hodge podge gift collection featuring a few of our favorite and most memorable things that we've shared through the years.
So here's what I've put together for Pete and I to enjoy:
Cake! I am a cake person. Wedding cakes are a particular obsession. I bake a pretty great cake if I may say so myself! And Pete loves my cakes. But since it feels like 900 degrees outside I ordered an anniversary cake from the bakery that made our wedding cake ...in the same flavors! We have done this a few times before and it always brings back fond memories of June 24, 1995! Capital Y - Yum!! Thank you Edible Art of Charlotte! See you this afternoon to pick it up!
Tea! In the summer we take it ICED with lemon thank you, but we are hot tea lovers from the north and if it's remotely cool outside, I can expect around 9:30pm to hear "hey, wanna cup of tea?" and I promptly hear the kettle whistling. So I stopped in Teavana in South Park Mall the other day and picked up some Chai something or other teas to mix or use individually (they guy at Teavana will love that I don't remember what these are called I'm sure), some German rock sugar and since these teas were loose leaves and herbs and whatnot, I picked up a nifty tea steeping contraption that is sort of like a reverse French press but uses gravity instead of pressing. It's going to be a fun new kitchen toy!
Hawaii! No, we're not actually going :( ... but we had a supercalifragilistic trip to Maui a few years ago. I have ordered pineapples from the plantation we toured and this will be just like bringing a little bit of Hawaii here! Maui Gold -the best pineapple ever! They arrived on Thursday afternoon and I can hardly wait to dig in!
Here's what RIPE -DELISHIOUS Pineapple looks like ~
PERFECT PINEAPPLES!
SO YUMMY!
Have a wonderful weekend!
I'm off to enjoy my pineapples... and my anniversary!
