If I have something to say about the tea shop, like for instance, locally sourced and very cute jumbo jacks are here. They are regulation size jacks in a reproduction tin that will be a great stocking stuffer this holiday season. Or that I just ordered almost the entire line of Claire Burke fragrances. And no, it’s not too early to order holiday goodies in September. In the world of retail, shops are in holiday mode. I am actually late to the game. Some say too soon, I say it’s more about anticipation!
Anyhow, the picture I posted is a little box I found at a souvenir shop in Cape May a few years ago. It’s pretty tiny but beautiful. I keep cool buttons in it. It is obviously a pretty octopus on the lid.
This leads me to calamari. I really like calamari when it’s done right and there’s aren’t too many places that nail it. The last place I had it closed a few years ago.
Then, I watched My Octopus Teacher on Netflix.
I will never eat calamari again.
