Every time I hear the words “pork chops,” my brain instantly adds “and applesauce” with a Bogart-type inflection. As a child of the 70′s, life lessons as brought to you by The Brady Bunch are ingrained upon my psyche. G made a delicious rub for the pork (tenderloins actually) with a fresh herb “poultry mix,” garlic, pepper, and Jane’s Krazy Mixed Up Salt. Set for a few hours in the fridge, then warmed back up to room temp while I went out to The Westchester to get a parking pass and a new pair of Dansko clogs (I bought some Mary Janes, too). Grilled with some fresh garlic bread from the deli and mmm…tasty!
We went to Woodbury Common Outlet Mall yesterday and scored big time at the Liz Claiborne store. I needed a new wardrobe for work (I couldn’t get by with the four tops and one pair of chinos that I had in my possession pre-shopping) so I took some good advice and waited until the Labor Day sales kicked in. While poking around the Sigrid Olsen petites, a man came up to me and handed me a coupon for 15% off the total purchase. The sales associates who were helping also gave us a bunch of coupons for individual pieces. Squee! Saved a boatload and allowed me to justify spending the savings on an extra pair of shoes. With room to spare.

Hooray for outlet shopping and coupons. Hooray for Danskos– I love mine, and only wish I could get away with wearing them to work all the time– not just when my back is bothering me.
Good luck with the new job this week!

I wore my old pair every working day for over a year. Needless to say, the soles are worn down so that my feet now hurt when wearing them all day. The new ones are tight, and are a size 39 (!) but I’ll take my old ones with me to work tomorrow to switch off when the new ones hurt too much.
Edited to add: I just checked the size of my old ones and they are a 39 as well. I must be demented. Amazon has a shoe stretching spray as well as wooden shoe stretchers, both of which may find their way into my shopping cart.
