She -- or He -- has horns, and wears a suit, but there are also cow lady spigots down below.

She, I guess.

She was one of those Wall Street cows some years back.

My husband Howard wants her to come and live at That Old House.

Luckily, she is way too expensive for my gifting budget.

Just being silly.

What did you do on Thursday?  My sister Peggy and I hit up three consignment shops, an antiques mall,

a coffee shop for lunch, a Dunkin' Donuts for iced coffee, and a HomeGoods store.

All I bought was a tablecloth, at HomeGoods, which is unusual for me!

Our first stop was Encore Quality Consignments in Bernardsville, New Jersey.

This is what you call your high-end joint.  Lovely things, friendly staff, even the drizzle didn't ruin our visit.

Encore Quality Consignments in Bernardsville, New Jersey,

is well worth sliding off the beaten path for a look.

Beautiful things, beautifully presented -- even the building, a former carriage house, is charming.

I'm a-gonna make these this weekend.

California daughter Alida guided me to a recipe that looks simple and good.

This is what is often called peasant food, as it is a practical way to use up leftovers and stale foods.

Every cuisine has its variations on peasant foods, and they are usually filling, delicious, and comforting.

So as not to stomp on someone's copyright, here's the link to what looks very much like

the dish I was served at Cha Cha Cha in the Silver Lake neighborhood:

Now, I'll try and remember to take pics when I make this tomorrow or Sunday.

If you make it, let me know how it turns out!  Have a wonderful weekend!  -- Cass
