Welcome to the Friday Fave Five weekly post and blog hop.
Each Friday I highlight five of my favorite things from the past week, and link up with Mom’s Got Mail!
1. Favorite in fashion:
Guess what today is? My 5 year anniversary! Wowza. Time flies! My gift from the honey is this gorgeous watch.
I got him a set of crystal glasses from Wayfair and am getting him a bottle of his choice of liquor.
2. Favorite in food:
Yesterday was my work holiday party at Davio’s!
Check out this amazing meal. Arugula and shaved parmesan salad with fresh ground pepper.
Salmon with spinach and eggplant caponata.
And a trio of desserts!
3. Favorite in gifts:
Speaking of the holiday party, we did secret santa AND white elephant exchange. Plus the boss gave us a very thoughtful gift.
My secret santa got me this book…
I took home this from white elephant…
And the boss got us all one of these…
4. Favorite in shopping:
I ordered this Steve Madden – Black Faux Fur Infinity Scarf from Zulily – I hope it is as cozy and fashionable in person!
5. Favorite in freebies-
Listen to this. There is a company making alcool infused ice cream for adults. We recently had some samples sent over for review and are so excited to eat our way through the flavors. These would make a great gift idea for any foodie friends or cocktail aficianados! Or a treat for yourself of course. Flavors include The Buzz Cafe: Coffee ice cream with Irish cream; Blitzed Berry: Strawberry ice cream with rum; and Citrus Berry Drop: Raspberry lemon drop sorbet and lemon vodka.
What about you – what are this weeks favorites?
Five years…I assume 5 years dating…
When is the full blown Italian wedding taking place? This summer on The Vineyard?
What is a white elephant? It looks like you’re making a black Russian with a white elephant. ..
Buy Sal a bottle of Whistle Pig whiskey. Made in Vermont. .100 proof and delicious whiskey. I can tell Sal is a real man who likes his whiskey;; and whistle pig with a few ice cubes in those beautiful glasses would be great.
Me, I like Don Julio Reposado tequila.
Buying ice cream as a gift sounds tough…it would melt unless you gave it to them in a tub of ice. But that would be awkward and cumbersome.
Have you made a cocktail from your book?
Did you get a CD of cocktsil.music too?
Your boss sounds like Oprah. ..generous and caring? Is your company hiring? I’d luv to work for someone who was so kind to their employees. Lunch, drinks, booze, white elephants whatever the heck they are.
Yes 5 years of dating ! No wedding date set yet – prob a golf course/country club type wedding north of boston next fall.
White elephant is a gift exchange sort of like Yankee swap !
I haven’t dug into the cocktail book yet but I will keep you posted!
Make a drink yet?
I cannot tell what that white elephant gift actually was? I need to buy a gag gift for our gift exchange which is also a white elephant exchange at work but it is only gag gifts mostly. Like fun stuff like chia pets etc. I will probably buy something that is like “AS SEEN ON TV” as the gift.
I love the alcohol infused ice cream and makes a great party food. That lunch looks pretty amazing. YUM!
The white elephant was a as seen on TV !! https://www.getsnackeez.com/
I’m kind of interested in wTching “The White Elephant,” and am happy you can see it on TV.
But I looked all over the guide on Comcast and for the life of me I couldn’t find it. I get both HBO and Showtime and it wasn’t on either. So where did you see it on TV.
Ps. I loved the book and thnk it would make a great series.
I agree Janie, “The White Elephant” is a great book and would make a really good tv show or series.
