Christmas wishes
When my relatives start asking what I want for Christmas, my response usually includes some sort of cookware or kitchen gadget that I've been longing for.
While I don't think I'll ever be lucky enough to get a KitchenAid mixer in some wacky color of the rainbow (I'll have to save up for that myself), I have been blessed to receive some of my best kitchen tools as holiday gifts. Example: the microblade my father gave me, a vegetable and pasta cooker from my mom and and a lovely china platter from my husband's stepmom.
Since you are all reading this blog because you love to cook and eat, I'm guessing your Christmas lists typically include some sort of culinary tool or toy. If that's the case, I want to tell you about an interesting event at Ladles & Linens Kitchen Shoppe in Roanoke this Sunday. Unfortunately, guys, this one is supposedly just for the ladies.
"Ladies' Afternoon" is a chance for women to visit Ladles & Linens and create a "wish list," or gift registry, for the holidays. The store will then mail copies of the wish list to anyone you choose. They'll also be providing refreshments and will give away door prizes at the end of the day. And whoever completes a list receives a free gift.
Outdoorsy types can also create a wish list at Walkabout Outfitter, the outdoors store next door. I believe both stores are owned by the same person.
Although this is supposed to be a "ladies only" event, the folks at Ladles & Linens told me the more guests, the merrier. So guys, if you wander in and ask to make your own list at either store, I'm guessing you won't be turned away.
"Ladies' Afternoon" takes place from noon to 3:30 p.m. this Sunday, Nov. 11 at the Roanoke store (305 Market Street) and from noon to 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 18 at the Lexington location (13 S. Main Street).
Start making those lists!
