February 1, 2012 - The Roku (pronounced "roh koo") - Let's all say this together... Best. Investment. Ever. You might be asking yourself, what the heck is a Roku and why do I need one? Trust me, once you know about this little sucker, you are going to be in the car on your way to Best Buy to pick one up. The cutest little streaming place :) Look how small it is!
If you have ever been to my house, you know already that music is ALWAYS on. Whether we are creating, cleaning or cooking, we are always picking music that suits the theme of what we are doing. *Sigh* a soundtrack to my life! And, you guessed it, we stream it thru the Roku :)
My personal favorite thing about the Roku is that we can stream Netflix. I am one of those people who hate watching movies on a computer in bed. Thanks to the handy dandy Roku, we have been able to catch up on old episodes of the Office (uninterupted!) and watch lots and lots of awesome documentaries on art and health and other cool stuff :) Plus, since they raised their prices on Netflix, we were able to cut out the DVD part and only pay for the streaming which is a small token of only like $7.99 a month. A Win-Win!
January 8, 2012 - I am going to share with you one of my favorite places to go with I am back in my home town in upstate NY. It is a little shop in the village of Fairport called Lombardi's. This place was built in the 1930's by a native Italian who grew and sold produce from his own orchard. Growing up in Fairport, and being Italian, my family would go here occasionally to get cold cuts and specialty items you couldn't buy in the normal grocery store. My mom always liked going here too to add to her Portmeirion collection... but I never really paid much attention to what the store entailed, mainly due to my age, but also because of my lifestyle. It wasn't until my last trip back that I actually appreciated all that Lombardi's had to offer! They have homemade pastas, fresh sauce and OH MY GOSH their bruchetta is to die for. I went to Lombari's twice in a four day trip just to get more. Can we say, obsessed?!
January 6, 2012 - I have to start with one of the first products I bought at Trader Joe's. This little sucker ends up in my fridge every time! I have tried so many different salad dressings thinking I could find another that was better but it's not possible! Hands down, the best. If you don't believe me... try it - you'll never go back!
