Thanks @Claudia Herzog for the suggestion

Wear a bag that has a backstory involving a person, place, or opportunity for which you feel grateful.

@ElainePG, re your query to @whateve. Instant read meat thermometer. If you slow roast them (requiring double cut or thick chops), there is minimal carry over heat. Then sear quickly for color (the sear last is called reverse sear). Then rest them before carving.

I just bought an instant read meat thermometer last year, so I'll give it a try. Thanks! :smile:

My mom and stepfather made View attachment 4954400this for me for my birthday and she gave me one of her rings, with an emerald in it since it is my son’s birthstone.View attachment 4954401
My sister gave me a...you guessed it...Dooney and Bourke, but I like this one so I will be keeping it.:smile:
The duck is in the oven and I am already caked out with cake #3 yet to go. Thankfully it is a tiramisu, so not heavy. Bittersweet moments today...I made lunch instead of takeout and my mom asked if she could help. I asked her to set the table...it looked like a 4 year old did it. Then she said she needed to use the bathroom and asked where it was...she has been to my house many times before and it is a smaller ranch, so there is only one hallway. I told her and she started to walk into the laundry room that connects to the garage. It was upsetting to see that.

Your presents are so lovely, dear. But my heart hurt for you at the way you must have felt when your Mom got confused in your house. I know this from my own personal experience: it's so very hard to see someone we love losing cognitive function. :hugs:

As a result, today I have received my first taste of Brexit, a message from DHL that I need to pay duties to receive my parcel. Very high duties too! :shocked:

Now debating whether to keep them or not. But more than anything, it made me sad... I knew it was coming, I even worked on the thing, still the reality of having lost our British friends suddenly hit. :sad:

The new tax situation rules out purchases from the Uk for me, now, too. Argh! I loved shopping ebay Uk...

Your red WOC is beautiful but I know what you mean about the WOC. I usually keep my WOC for evening events (pre-pandemic) for the same reasons, since I need my day-time bag to be able to fit my sunglasses. I actually like my Dior Promenade Pouch (sadly discontinued) a lot more since it's a bit bigger than a WOC and the chain is detachable, making it more versatile. I think my ideal size for day-time to evening is a bag that's a bit bigger than even the Promenade Pouch, but it's not very easy to find a bag in that slightly larger (but not too large) size!

I hear you! A WOC is beautiful, but won´t fit more than a wallet. The Promenade Pouch really has a nice size. I´mm currently trying to figure out what fits into it. My large Dior zip around wallet is slightly too bulky because of the big charm. With a smaller wallet I expect the Promenade Pouch to fit the essentials while still being really small. The chain is gorgeous.

Creative bag carrying: not at all a date night but does to the hospital to see a consultant count! :lol:

Milberry Tessie Hobo, gorgeous thick leather. Very practical and easy to carry so useful for going into work afterwards.

What a beautiful bag!!! :heart: I'm guessing that's from a number of seasons ago, when Mulberry had that amazing chewy leather?

Thanks @More bags. Just got to wait for some results to come back in a month to rule out anything serious. The consultant was reassuring that all would be fine but needed to double check with a biopsy. It’s been hanging over me in one way or another since October so hopefully all will be fine and I can put it behind me.

I'm so sorry to hear you've had this hanging over your head for all these months. And what a shame you have to wait for yet another month to know for sure. Hang in there.

This Afternoon, I decided to shop my closet and wear nicer clothes inside the apartment. I pulled out a favorite pale pink wolford sweater that I had only worn twice before. Then I thought I should be diet virtuous and make a green shake with frozen strawberries, protein powder and cocoa powder. (I had also just tidied up the kitchen). I wasn’t paying attention and Whoosh, the blendtec top came off and there were splotches of shake everywhere. next time, I will just order a reuben sandwich Which is what I wanted in thr first place. Also, I should make a mental note to only wear plastic birkenstocks in the kitchen.

Oh nooooooo! I'm sorry, but my first response was to laugh hysterically. Of course, it HAD to happen on the very day you'd dressed up, right? :doh:
I think the universe wanted you to have that reuben sandwich.
As a transplanted New Yorker, I am now officially craving a pastrami on rye and a half-sour pickle. Which I can't get here in the Back of Beyond. There are some decent deli places in San Francisco, but of course we're not going there any time soon.
Maybe I'll pull out my blender from its hiding place, and make a whey protein shake. But only if I'm wearing old clothes. :lol:

At the urging of @880, here's what I wore on Saturday for a zoom scarfie meetup - H tohu bohu (which features circles) with some other circular jewelry as a sort of inside joke. The earrings are supposedly made from piano strings. No purse, sorry!View attachment 4954993

Love this! What a fantastic outfit!

Bag 3: Chanel Red Quilted Lambskin Wallet on Chain of Challenge 2 - Take the tag off and wear it. Both my DS went back to in-person school yesterday. I carried my red WOC for the school run. The WOC is too small to carry my sunglasses and since I was in a car that was fine. The finicky thing about a WOC is emptying wallet contents into the credit card slots or zipper pocket. I have two, one in black caviar leather and this red lambskin one. I carry the black more often and I love the buttery feel of the lambskin. It works well for evenings out to dinner, sporting events or theatre events (lies flat against your body) or going to a movie (remember that? :lol:)
The scarf that is pictured with the red WOC is also the scarf I wore yesterday, Hermes H Force Centrifuge (cross posting).

Gorgeous bag-&-scarf pairing, @More bags . I do so love the deeply saturated red that Chanel does in its bags & wallets.
