Buying kitchen gadgets (Le Creuset non stick skillet and Kitchenaid Japanese steel knife set full review), visiting Sarah Lawrence college for the Naomi Fry reading and randomly meeting an A Lister along the way, the Bargain Barn in Sharon Connecticut moving, trying to outsmart Wegman's frozen lasagna and Trader Joe's butter chicken with my new air fryer/toaster oven combo and failing miserably, an overall abundance of neighborhood and general Upstate minutiae while I beg the ultimate question- am I living in the shadow of myself???
