Jun. 7th, 2015 03:35 pmThis appears to be The Weekend of Buying Glass. Yesterday was the art festival in Coolidge Corner, and I came out of it with a couple of glass baubles and a pair of glass earrings. Today I was out wandering around, wandered past TJ Maxx, and decided that if I bought some shot glasses, I could see if a shot of something before bed would at least help me stop being so annoyed with the sore shoulders (yes, both. I am most displeased.). These are the first shot glasses I've ever owned, because what does a beer drinker want with shot glasses?
Speaking of alcohol and other things consumed in cold climates, the art festival yesterday also introduced me to poutine. I saw somebody walking past with some, and decided that the time had come to try it. The verdict is "done it once, don't need to do it again". The gravy actually kept me from eating all of it, because I got tired of the flavor. I suspect that's just as well in the long run. Ain't nothing wrong with cheese curds, though. Good thing I left the Midwest...
Other things at the art festival I drooled over but couldn't justify buying: enameled jewelry by Jungwhon Joo (who seems not to have a web site, but comes up in Google image searches), Lush Metals jewelry, pottery that looked best in sets I couldn't afford (as opposed to single pieces), hand-dyed silk scarves, and fish prints (particularly one of a bluefin tuna tail). I like supporting local artists, but I just can't bring myself to buy something I'll never wear, or can't afford, or wouldn't know what to do with when I got it home.
Time to go roast some more grape tomatoes. Half an hour at 400 worked, but also made a mess in the bottom of the pans. I think I'll go back to an hour at 300.
