FLUFF!

jeff and went to the Food Lion in Asheboro last night to pick up a few groceries.  we haven't shopped there all that much even though they are owned by the same company that owns my favorite grocery store in NH - Hannaford.  there are similarities between the two but Hannaford has lots more to choose from.
as we were strolling down an aisle jeff pointed out that they carry Fluff!!!  i hadn't seen any since moving here... the stores have Kraft Marshmallow Creme but it isn't the same as Fluff, made in Lynn MA (Lynn, Lynn, the city of sin... as the old saying goes).
not that i eat tons of Fluff but it has always been a staple in my pantry.  it has so many uses!  you can put it on ice cream, make whoopie pie filling with it, fudge, rice krispy treats are better with it... and of course there is the famous Fluffernutter Sandwich!
so last nights treat was ice cream sundaes!

my sundae toppings were chocolate raspberry wine sauce,  a spoon full of Fluff and a blob of
Vanilla Cream... it was delicious but over the top sweet.  it may take days for me to recover from the sugar overload!

groceries, pizza and working to stay warm...

yesterday we took a break in the afternoon and headed to greensboro to explore some grocery stores.  upon the recommendation of a few people we went the the Super G.  Super G is a big asian market that is jammed packed with produce, fish, meats, tofu, spices and every noodle available under the sun!  from there we went to Earth Fare - beautiful store, great produce... very expensive.  Super G on the other hand was very affordable... but of course it isn't an organic store.  After Earth Fare we wandered across the street to Total Wine and more... i have to say they have a better selection than any wine shop i have been in... everything from cheap jug wine to the expensive stuff.  i enjoy un-oaked chardonnay and they had many to choose from.
we didn't get home until after 9pm but that didn't stop me from making a quick pizza...

it came out perfect!  onions, broccoli, pepperoni and sausage

there will be no slacking off today... we had a wood delivery yesterday

this pile needs to be stacked behind the studio...

so we can feed this beast to keep us warm while we make pots.  i hope everyone has a great day and that all my new hampshire friends and family are shoveled out from the 20" of snow that mother nature dumped on them yesterday... our 2" of snow and ice in seagrove doesn't seem so bad now does it?
