vintage dress-up

Had the best time gathering pieces for my costume tonight.  My church group had a massive birthday party (for about 4 guys) at their apt's community center.  It was great.  I found my dress this past summer at a thrift store, the shoes are just flats from the mall, and gloves, hat, and purse are from mom's collection.  I love this kind of stuff, and felt very 1960s-

And looking at these pictures I need to put the news out that I am SO cutting my hair on May 18th.  I cannot wait.  It won't be too short, but boy does it need some help!

So I'm grocery shopping yesterday and I come upon the "wall of savings."  You know, the aisle that has either really good or really strange (like off-off brand) stuff.  I was happy that I could stock up on more flour and sugar for baking, and then I noticed these.  I got three boxes for 99 cents.  That is an excellent deal.  Then I started thinking of all the stuff I could do with the mix.  I made plain ones last night, and are they delicious!  I could not resist sprinkling in a touch of vanilla.  I also stocked up on frozen blueberries.  And how adorable is that packaging?  I love when they don't change things. 

Fun things I've been thinking of adding to make them more fun:
-Fruit
-Rosemary (for more savory biscuits) + soup = lunch on a cold day
-Food coloring (like green for St. Patrick's day)

In other cooking new I'm going to have a lot of eggs this week, because I'm blowing them out for decoration.  Great recipes for eggs my dear blog readers?  Fill a sister in!
