Weekend In New Hampshire

Those of you who left comments on the last post know the significance of this weekend. Yes, it's my birthday weekend. Thanks Mom for letting everyone know that I'm another year older. You're the best.

To celebrate my march into old age, my friend Kim invited me to her home in New Hampshire. Have you been to New Hampshire? It's beautiful. It's also cold. Very cold. Penguins could be very happy here.

There are a lot of snow plows in New Hampshire.

And icicles are everywhere.

Not too far from Kim's house is an outlet shopping area in Kittery, Maine.  So, Saturday I spent the day poking around the outlets, checking to see if there were any after holiday bargains to be found. And for the most part there was nothing to write home about. But today was a different story....

Today I visited the Stonewall Kitchen outlet store in Rochester, New Hampshire. Have you heard of Stonewall Kitchen? Boy, do they make a yummy product!

Look at the prices! $2.97 for Barefoot Contessa's cupcake and frosting mix.

I cannot wait to try this lime bar mix. Did I mention that I'm craving citrus lately??

Not only do they have lots of good stuff to eat, they carry tons of fun products for the kitchen.

Imperfect dulce de leche? Is that even possible? I'm guessing it would be just fine over vanilla ice cream.

Before leaving for the outlet, Kim's husband Anthony mentioned that we wouldn't need to spend much more than a half of an hour at the store. I guess he doesn't know me very well. I could've spent a couple of hours there and been quite happy about it.

Oh, and if you can't get your hubby to go shopping with you, you might be able to get him to the Stonewall Kitchen outlet store. There's a huge table full of products to sample. He could spend the whole time munching away while you shop. Men like free samples.

I had so much fun at the Stonewall Kitchen that I'm going to be hosting a Stonewall Kitchen giveaway tomorrow here at The Coupon Goddess.  Make sure you come back to enter. It's going to be delicious.

The weekend is almost over now and I'm two days into my 42nd year. It's not quite as painful as I anticipated. Thank God for good friends, wine and chocolate. And definitely in that order. They make getting older that much easier.
