A Thing I Need

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

Yesterday we discussed things you shouldn’t be without.

Today, one thing I have to have.

Call it “One of Patti’s Favorite Things”

This.

I need this. Swoozie's are you listening?

I just think this is the greatest thing ever. No drippy ice buckets, just tidy Chardonnay bottles lining the table, all corked with assorted Corkcicles.

Friends and loved ones, are you reading?

xoxo, Patti

While perusing Foodgawker.com the other day, I spied this lemon cookie that looked fabulous. I followed it to the blog from whence it came and found a treasure.

Let me introduce you.

Football Fun With Swoozie’s!

Good Morning Darlings!

It’s Thursday, so that means it is almost time for Saturday football! In my opinion, college ball rules, especially the SEC.

Anything that makes yelling at the television more fun is what I need!
