Last Thing You Bought?

Three gifts for the collection at work for needy families. They asked for a boys jacket, legos and a makeup organizer.

Wine for my son for Christmas. He didn’t have a wish list this year. So to go with the gas gift card, I got wine, a wine cork opener, and a pizza pan for him to cook his frozen pizzas on.

While it wasn't the last thing I bought, it was the last thing that was delivered: two six-packs of "Frozen" band-aids. :eek: I have no idea how I ordered two six-packs. I thought I was ordering two packs, one for each of the older granddaughters stockings. But no, we now have 12 boxes of Frozen bandaids. Fortunately, the two-year-old really loves bandaids and I suspect she'll manage to use them all!:p

I bought Christmas gifts: A New England Patriots hat, a Dunkin Donuts gift card, a Tom Petty CD, a Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons CD, 4 Alice In Chains concert tickets (one is for me :D ), a Target gift card, Harry Potter fleece pajama pants and a zip-up hoodie. Last week I also bought a bunch of games to donate to the Toys for Tots drive at work: Scrabble, Uno, Mexican Train, Sorry, Trouble, Risk and Yahtzee.

A variety of olives from the olive bar at DiCicco’s and two kinds of “cheese” spread from Whole Foods. I hope they are decent and that I don’t end up hating them. I’m afraid I bought one of them before...Treeline soft French... and didnt like it but I can’t remember. So I figured I’d try it again. The other is a Heidi-Ho spicy cheese dip. I’m intrigued by that one.

I wanted a bottle of gin. I went to a Giant Eagle with the state store inside, but I was soooo overwhelmed! I haven't had hard liquor other than a rare appearance at a bar in years!
Bombay Sapphire intrigued me, but I didn't know if I wanted that big a bottle
Ended up with Jose Cuervo margarita

At least you have olives! :)
Like at least I had margarita for the really bad Kingsman movie- and at least it was free! Loved the first, second was disappointing
Bombay Sapphire for new year!
Did you hate the Heidi Ho?

I didn’t “hate” it but I don’t like it enough to want to eat it. The Treeline is very sour/tart...like they put lemon or vinegar in it. Very weird. I’ve never had cheese of any kind have that sour flavor so I don’t know why they would make it like that. I’m going to try and salvage that one by adding something to it...maybe some tofutti cream cheese.

Maybe you can work it into a sauce somehow and add some other ingredient to offset the tartness. Then you could do a macaroni and cheese or other such casserole? Or what about a mexican casserole of some kind with tomatoes and beans and other flavors that would detract from the sourness?

I like the Mac n cheese idea. :yes:
 
I like the Heido Ho Ne Chèvre with Black Lava, but most of the other spreads are just so-so, imho. @KLS52 , maybe you could try it spread on a cracker with something a bit sweet on top - like cranberry sauce or a dab of raspberry jelly. I remember liking baked brie with jam on top, where the jam kind of masked the funky, dirty feet smell of the brie. Maybe it would help the Treeline! :rolleyes:
