This weekend turned out to be just right for the Art Star Craft Bazaar. I didn’t get to eat anything before I went so I needed some cool sustenance, stat. So I had me a mango/orange smoothie from this Maui Wowi smoothie cart. Not sure what’s in these but they have yogurt in them and are somewhat icy, yet smooth. I enjoyed it, despite the crazy inflated outdoor fest prices. The little umbrella is a nice touch, but kind of a waste, as they all went flying.

Yes, I watch Lost. And I’m not ashamed to admit it. I haven’t grown tired of it or lost interest. In fact, I probably like it more now than ever. Yes, it’s incredibly frustrating but I love everything about it. And for wednesday’s season finale, R hosted a little shindig, complete with tiki decorations. Because really, aren’t we all a little lost on our own islands? The spread, including fruit salad, veggie platter, cookies, crackers, and nuts.
Some amazing supermarket sushi. This was an especially nice surprise, thanks H/A.
And even shrimp cocktail! Whoo hoo! A wonderful party with a wonderful hostess. And the finale blew my f’in mind. Damn them! And now the torture of waiting until season 6 begins…

Some of you may have noticed a new coffee chain popping up all over philadelphia – Saxbys. They’re a local chain that is trying to compete with starbucks. I’ve started to see them all over. They recently opened a fairly large location in Ardmore. It looks like a big old house, I’m not sure what it was before Saxbys took over. It’s Saxbys Coffee, but dude, they have so much more. Not only do they have coffee of all kinds, they also have smoothies, frozen yogurt, salads, and sandwiches, breakfast items, and desserts. Really, everything you could ask for. And the place is really large, so there’s tons of seating, including some comfy leather chairs. If you’re thirsty or hungry, there’s bound to be something you want. They have hot coffees, iced coffees, tons of crazy flavored lattes, frozen lattes, teas, juices, and smoothies. I would never have guessed there would be so much stuff here. Never ever. I just thought they sold coffee. We both got some of the flavored lattes, iced. A got a caramel macchiato and I got a british islander. They were pretty darn good. The cups they use for the iced coffees are made from corn and fully biodegradable and compostable. I find this to be very cool. In fact, a lot of their stuff seems to be green. Kudos to them. It’s not cheap here. They’re obviously competing with starbucks so you know it’s going to have starbucks price tags. I like this place. It’s comfortable without being snooty. And I like the variety. Even though variety can be bad, as I am horrible at making decisions. I’ll do my part to help a local chain out.
