Also delicious is sipping the Merlot as the short ribs are cooking !
Next time I will skip the beef altogether and just sip the wine

on the way to the outer banks theres a microbrewey and farm called the weeping radish. All in was $60 for 2dinners, a flight of 9 beers, plus 2 pints. Great service, great German food and beer!I had 3 microbrews, a burger and fries at 3 Floyds today for $38 including tip. Best $38 I have spent in a while. Last time I had that much fun for $40 was DW and I going to the movies, popcorn and a big coke.

I like 3 and 6! We go to our saucer every Sunday for $3.50 NC beers and dinner. With the AHA discount, that's under $40.Its cheaper here in the south! For $40 or less:
1. Tickets for two at one of the local college's theatre events.
2. Breakfast for two at the local diner downtown.
3. Beers and appetizer (makes a meal for us!) at Flying Saucer in Little Rock (over 100 beers/ciders available!).
4. Ammo or bait and gas and sodas for a hunting or fishing trip.
5. Two steaks, potatoes and charcoal for the grill.
6. Fixin's to make about 5 gallons of homemade ale!
7. Gas and welding rods to tinker in the garage for a whole day.
8. Several months of NetFlix thru the internet.
9. Gas and sodas for a long motorcycle ride.
10. Campground fee for taking the trailer to a lakeside spot for a weekend. Cheaper
Live music at small concert venues featuring lesser known artists. I'd rather get tickets to see a band closeup, than 3x as much to sit in an auditorium (or larger) to see the bigger acts.
Do you not already have vases or other vessels to put this lovely lavender in? You could just enjoy giving the three dollars to the thrift store, let them keep the vase, and not add another thing to the household possessions. Just wondering.
I like to redecorate a bit now and then and buy a few new to me things, at least every few decades or so. The vase worked out so well I am seriously thinking of replacing the lava lamps and lime green shag rugs next.
But they look so good with your avocado-colored appliances! (just joking!)
You're going to pay more than 40 bucks to see me, Miss Scarlett.
You mean... those are out of style now?
Really - at one time I did own a house with avocado green appliances. And a shag rug in the family room.
When I purchased my house in 1999 it came with appliances, including a washing machine (harvest gold) and a stove (avocado green). Both were perfectly functional, and my guess is they were original to the house, which was built in 1971. I replaced them a couple of years later.
When I asked the realtor why all the bedroom doors in the house had such a large gap between the bottom of the door and the floor, he explained it was because they had to close over the shag carpeting which had been ripped up when the house was put on the market.
The harvest gold and avocado green were hideous colors, but I'd be willing to bet my nice white appliances which replaced them won't last 30 years!

They are back as Golden Mist ad Mint Julep. Retro is cool now:

Believe it or not, many of those old, colored appliances had removable panels in case you wanted another color. Some even came with a few different colored panels stacked together.

Something like this ? Circa 1977, still in great shape and nice and fuzzy on the footsies.
