What I'm Reading This Week #35

Howdy do and happy last Friday of August!  I hope you had a good week and if your weather was like ours, it was FINALLY under 93 degrees.  Don't get me wrong, I know sweater weather isn't here but it was nice to not have the AC working overtime (set to 76) starting at 11am every day!   It was nice to not walk out to water the garden and walk into a wall of humidity so I will take what I can get.    Speaking of which: With this 3" San Marzano , I shall be able to make enough sauce to cover 7.3 spaghetti noodles. 😒 Now let's get to: How to Stock Your Pantry for Quick & Easy Meals in Minutes   (Ooh, I need to crockpot some black beans for some sweet potato black bean burritos.)

Hump Day Poll: I Hope There Are No Pictures


What has been the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever worn?

I'm going to defend this by saying I grew up in the MTV era when they actually played music with outrageous outfits.  So at age 8, I dressed like a Studio 54 reject to see Berlin and Thompson Twins in concert.  I don't know why, but I thought it would be totally bitchin' to wear a silver sequined tube top with matching silver sequined beret, red ruffled mini skirt, red bobby socks and pink jelly shoes.  Let that sink in.  Thank GOD there are no photos of that atrocity.  But I wasn't alone because a hot gay couple in front of us had one of the two guys wearing a silver sequined plastic trench coat and he turned around and was like 'cool outfit' and I said 'you too.'  I'm sure he was saying it ironically at 22 but it made me feel like I'd made the right choice.  I hadn't.  I'm surprised my tween boobies didn't get exposed dancing because those of us who lived through tube tops know how well they stayed in place.  Moreover, I don't know how much thought this was a good look.  I won't tell you we took the sequined ensemble back the next day.  (Don't clutch your pearls!  This was a common practice back in the day, so much so there's a Three's Company episode about it. 😋)

    It was the 80s - sequins were in. I'm sure he thought the effort you put into the outfit was fantastic even if the red socks/pink jellies were a questionable choice. lol. I was never a sequins girl - but I made my own share of awful fashion choices (pink velour sweatshirt that I wore everywhere all the time. *shudders*). So glad there was no social media back in the day.

    80's here too. I put sun-in in my hair and it was bright blonde and then I wore Jams shorts with a bright blue shirt and white sport coat and went to dinner with my parents at a fancy restaurant dressed like that. Nobody even batted an eye but when I see myself in pics from that day I cringe every time.

    I had these crazy idea that wearing an off-the-shoulder sweatshirt with a jean mini skirt with floral long underwear underneath and turquoise Converse high top sneakers would be a good look. And I wore it often! Along with purple hair. It was a scene, man.
