Last weekend I persuaded my friend S to accompany me to an annual hospital gala held at a nice hotel. It was open to the public. She ended up having a great time as she enjoys chatting to all the vendors and looking at their wares. In fact she bought some interesting dehydrated garlic scapes, fine mustard and salsa verde for hostess gifts. I got a box of shortbread cookies and some fermented black garlic. The mild garlic will be good on appetizers atop some brie cheese perhaps. They had a complimentary coffee bar, free Santa photos (which we declined), and I sampled some ice wine from a local winery.
S complimented this man we saw wearing a sparkly pink jacket. He thanked her and said he got it in Paris and named some designer whose brand it was. We also perused some beautiful scarves and coats, deciding we didn't really need anything. I saw these snow baby ornaments which caught my attention, again, I didn't need any ornaments.
