Christine Alexander

On the day when all the committee heads came to Puyallup to report on the 2011 show -- Joanne was wearing a great Christine Alexander jacket..(here with new Mom, Dana!)

As it turns out, during my visit, the Christine Alexander outlet store in Tacoma was having A SALE!! (I like to call this Ritaluck)...

Just walking into the store was a thrill...crystals are EVERYWHERE...

The clothes are bedazzled in the MOST UNUSUAL ways you could imagine...

If I could afford it -- I would have bought this jacket for my cousin Linda...it is SOOOO HER...

But, of course, they have something for EVERYBODY'S taste...and you've gotta admit --

The zebra is STUNNING...

No, sadly, they don't make the zebra in my size...(apparently, too many zebras would have to die)

King Arthur Popover Recipe

Preheat oven to 425 degrees... then preheat the Popover Pan...it needs to be screaming hot. Butter the sides generously -- right before you pour the batter.

4 eggs
1 1/3 c. milk
1 1/3 c. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbl melted butter

Whisk eggs into milk. Make sure everything is room temp. Whisk in the flour & salt, add the melted butter at the end.

Pour thin batter into Popover pan (2/3 full) and bake for 30 minutes. DON'T OPEN THE DOOR.

When the popovers are done -- get them out of the pan ASAP and prick the top with a sharp knife to prevent collapse.

Serve with REAL BUTTER...that's mandatory. Homemade jam is optional...
