First up was Kitchen Collage. Picked up a new spice grinder, with white accents for the white pepper and another whisk. They didn't have the pan I wanted (they had an all-clad one but it was twice as expensive as the one from Calphalon).

Then I wondered down to the Village Bean and got myself a nice coffee (very good).

I headed up to Gong Fu Tea and picked up a few ounces of tea. I got a couple of herbal teas and a couple more greens and another tea thing (one for home) and a few filters. I had "donated" all my old tea bag based tea to work (more like I took it and left it at work).

Then it was across town to Bed Bath and Beyond, to pick up the baking pan (same one we bought for Alissa when she got married) (the torte that I'm making wants to be cooked in a water bath).

Then Barnes and Noble to pick up a couple of cookbooks (Bon Appetite's, Best New Recipie and an Irish one).

Then Best Buy to buy head phones (I took the ones at home to work since the ones at work were giving out).

Then to the Waterfront for some lobster (chaching!).

Then Hy-vee for some groceries and then finally HOME!

Now...time to get ready for the wedding!
