a good gem




...before I post the rest of our Thailand pictures I wanted to share something that I hold dear to my heart. One of the best purchases in the Clifford kitchen. 

I sometimes am not the best purchaser. I admit it. I am a great taker-backer and a great exchanger, but purchasing real, good, solid items THE FIRST TIME around is where I sometimes struggle. The only time I succeed is when I go to the classic LC (aka Last Chance for all of you who have not had the privilege of giving them your money. It is a little gem in AZ that could be called the DI of Nordstroms. You have to have good walking shoes, a mom to go with you to talk you out of the XL shirt that is way too large but only $1.97 and a credit card. Maybe I'm so successful there because I can't take any of my purchases back. Its a final sale. All or nothing. Or maybe its because I am just real good at buying lots of little things at lots of cheap prices. Anyway, so maybe I take it back. I do succeed at shopping at LC.
(just don't ask Brady, he might beg to differ)

However, recently I made a good purchase outside of Last Chance.  It truly has changed the way brady and I eat. It is the purchase of a BLENDTEC Blender. Go ahead, Youtube "will it blend" and it will change you too. This piece of equipment can make anything! It blends, cooks soup, purees, finely grinds...you put it in, it will chop it.
