My Weekend Non-Adventure

Today, I set out on a journey to Chestnut Hill Mall. Note: Anywhere beyond the Harvard Square area, I consider far. If you don't already know, I love walking up and down the aisles of shops that sell bakeware, cookware, dinnerware, cutlery, kitchen electrics, you get the gist. Surprisingly, there aren't many sophisticated shops selling such stuff in Boston - you would think it's one of the major cities in the US, so you can understand how excited I felt when I found out about Sur La Table over the internet.

I made the painful 1 hour journey by train and foot and sure enough, there were lotsa goodies! Two sad things though:
1. Though graduation is just 1 month away, we're still currently living the frugal student life so it was hard to justify spending $ on pretty but not so necessary/functional things
2. Our plans post-graduation have not firmed up; if I were to buy all this stuff now, I'd probably have to pay more $ to ship it to whichever country we're going to be for the next few years

I left the store with just 4 spoons, and a super long wish list.
