Shopping was fun! Gram took us to Loehmann’s, which has killer discounts and sales. I got a dress for the summit! And a cute clutch to match.
But boy did we come home worn out! We ate lunch at 2PM and were all so hungry that we couldn’t stop saying how delicious the food tasted.
We put out a spread of leftovers from the cocktail party last night.
Shrimp
Crab dip
Smoked salmon, which we are all WILD about!
Brie
Grapes, carrots + crackers
I assembled some salmon + cream cheese rye breads, a cheese + half cracker, a crab dip rye bread and a pile of shrimp
And the healthy stuff 🙂
A little diet Ginger Ale
Go Orioles!
Still not sure if I’m even full yet – I was hangry!
In grandmotherly fashion, Gram brought out some yummy looking cupcakes for dessert
Larbs and I split one, and it was surprisingly very good!
We are going mall walking and resting before we’re meeting the rest of the family to head into Baltimore for dinner.
Have a great Thursday y’all!
Deva says
I love love love smoked salmon. Some of my best memories from growing up are of bagel breakfasts with chewy toasted bagels, cream cheese, and lox with my family. So good!

I loveeee the leftovers you get the day after a party. Yummy treats you probably wouldn’t normally get for lunch, plus you don’t have to cook!

I love brie! Mmm, actually I love all cheeses. Fresh mozzarella makes me swoon a little 🙂 Sounds like you had a good lunch – food tastes best when you’re hungry!
Joanne says
The lunch spread looks fantastic. Love Brie! But then I like it totally UN-healthy when it’s baked in pastry with some luscious fruit sauce.
Have a great time in Baltimore w/ family.
Chloe (Naturally Frugal) says

Wow, somehow I totally missed that you were in Baltimore. So cool! Baltimore is my home away from home. We live about an hour from the Harbor and love to take this day trip often.
Hope you are having a blast. How long will you be staying? Are you staying through the weekend by chance? Any blog meet ups planned? I would love to come and visit you!
