Sunday Outing and Frosties With My Sister

Tweet

Today was a fairly decent day. My sister and I went out for a bit and had lunch at Taco Bell, then walked around the nearby shopping area and checked out the Halloween stuff that is already appearing in the stores. It may still be triple digits here but I am more than ready for fall, even though fall isn't much different from summer in northern California. We ended up walking over to Wendy's and each got a small chocolate Frosty, which neither of us had had in years. It tasted exactly like I remembered. We never got to eat out much when I was little since our family was poor, but every year at Christmas time the local newspaper would host a coloring contest and you could turn in your submission at Wendy's and get a free Frosty. So our dad would take us kids there to turn in our colored pictures and get a Frosty. I didn't wind up buying much today, but I did get some new baking pans from Big Lots. My old ones are in pretty rough shape -- they are about ten years old so I guess it's time to throw them out and replace everything. I don't remember my mom having to do that when I was younger, but stuff nowadays isn't really made to last. Anyway, I got a 13x9" pan, a 9x9" pan, and a loaf pan so now I can start baking again. Altogether the pans came to less than $14. There was a cherry bread recipe I found online that I really want to try so I'm excited about the loaf pan. Now to replace my pots and frying pans... Those might have to wait a bit, since they are more pricey. The ones I've got, the non-stick coating is coming off and I always feel anxious about using them. Anyway that was my day. Not too exciting. The boyfriend and I will have to go grocery shopping in a little bit. I hope the crowds have died down by then because the lines in some of the stores earlier were crazy. You'd have thought it was Black Friday. I guess school must be starting back up so they're probably all doing their back to school shopping. How was your Sunday?
