blaugra: Things I like right now

Spring is sprouting and so are my fave pretzels. I will always love you, Unique Splits, and even more now that you've got a newish variety of 100% sprouted whole grain. It "digests like a vegetable" which means, what? Fartyness?

I just discovered Minute Rice that actually takes one minute in the microwave. A cup of brown rice, which I know I can do at home, but if I run out of time on a Sunday night cooking-for-lunches session then this will do in a pinch. It even makes asstastic broccoli taste good. Great review here and thanks for the photo, fellow blogger!

For years I've been wearing the comfy and slimming black bootleg pants. I changed it up, though, and am rockin' the slim leg pants. They show off the cute shoes much better than bootlegs, and since it's no longer boot season...go for it. Lame Giant has a great pair (and so do I!) and now I feel all modern.

This is how I imagine I look. She's in Australia, though.

Teal is the new black and a colour that loves me back. So I bought a tealish bag from one of my favourite brands, Big Buddha. The bags are pleather "vegan" and therefore lightweight and dirt-repellent. Always good to be dirt-repellent. Here's a city-sporty-spice model I love!

I just bought a bunch of new music, but I'm listening now to an underrated Prince, Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic. At the time he was known as @#%&* and I had just purchased Bessie 2, whose CD player -- and tape deck -- still rock after all these years. I was reminded of "Rave" as I learned that friends are opening up a new shop they are calling Tangerine, and I love Prince's little song on the record, of the same title.

Next week: my adventure in shoes!
