R and R for Rosie

Finally !!! A weekend without any emergencies !!! So I got to do pretty much anything I wanted to, and that included running in the park, going for a long bike ride on Sunday, getting new library books, cooking Sunday lunch, and shopping !!! Whew. So let's look. First, the shopping.

I got an email from Stein Mart. I haven't been there in a very long time. They sent me a coupon for 60% off the clearance prices. How could I refuse? First, I got a pirate sweater from Michael Kors.

This one is navy blue. I have a red Calvin Klein sweater in the same style, and I love it. This MK version has all the nice touches - big gold eyelets, and logo aglets. It was $59.99, down from $150, then 50% off for clearance, then 60% off of that, so $13. No wonder it was the only one left.

Then I got this jersey double knit skirt from Premier. I have never heard of that brand, but it might be a store brand. It ended up at $5.98 after all the discounts.

The last items are a jacket and T shirt set by Onque. The jacket is a warmup style with a front zip.

The T has sequin banding across the front - the sequins are clear, so whatever the color of the stripe is, that is what sparkles.

Here is what I was trying to explain.

And here is the set together. It just so happens that I have a pair of black dress slacks that have a black sequin waistband, so this is a match made in heaven. The set ended up at $21.

That was Friday night. On Saturday, I went for my run in Central Park, then we did some shopping, then we just relaxed and I started reading "The Eggnog Murders."

On Sunday, I gave my bike a once over with WD40 and went for a nice long ride. My butt is naturally a little sore today - that's what happens after the first bike ride of the year. When I got home, I cooked stir fry pork. Here is what I did:

I sauteed a chopped onion in olive oil.

Then I added a chopped green bell pepper.

Then, a chopped red bell pepper.

After that, two zucchini sliced, and then the slices halved.

I also added about one quarter of a head of cabbage.

I chopped up two thick pork steaks into chunks and cooked the whole thing for about 5 minutes. To season, I added salt, pepper, garlic, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and sugar.
