It’s time for an installment of Thursday Things and a few items that have caught my eye this week:
1. Halloween candy season has definitely caught my eye. All the limited editions, special flavor offerings, and once-a-year candy combos the candy manufacturers come out with. I never met a drop of HFCS or highly processed chocolate that I didn’t love.
These KitKats I spotted at Target with white chocolate? Yes please.
I’m a big fan of white chocolate
2. This big, sharp, lightweight knife. The bigger the better, baby.
I’d gladly take this one. It’s on sale for $400. I better hurry.
3. These measuring cups from Anthro
I pinned them on my Dishes Board
4. Or this milk bottle measuring cup set
It somehow reminds me of the Russian nesting dolls I used to play with as a child. Stacking, nesting, and cute little pieces that fit together.
5. It was a full moon yesterday. So technically a Wednesday thing, but who’s counting.
Did you notice any full moon effects?
Moody, edgy, intense, passionate, meltdowns, insomnia, things breaking or going haywire, mechanical or electrical problems?
Blame it on the moon.
6. Salsa Verde. Not as much garlic and onions in it compared to red salsa which I prefer. The sodium content is still a big high for my liking, but I’ve been dealing with it.
And making some fun things with it in my hopes of creating more new recipes.
It’s like a Silpat but even more indestructible and comes with a lifetime warranty.
The Flexipat sounds like the Vita-Mix of baking sheet liners. I can’t wait to break it in.
Maybe with a batch of Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Kelly is also offering two specials for one week only in her store. Perfect time to think about holiday gifts.

8. The winner of the Not Nuts! Giveaway is
“Um, if I just open my mouth, will you pour that entire bag down my throat? Please and thank you.”
Congrats, Bev! Two bags of seeds coming your way.
9. We’re having a heat wave in San Diego! 95F and sunny the past two days. Not complaining, at all, but I am back to craving these rather than these.
What are your Thursday things?
Any items, discoveries, products, books, blogs, recipes, or anything at all new and noteworthy that you’re just dying to mention?
Do tell! Sharing is caring.
WINNER!!!! Wa-hooooo!!
And I need everything you just posted. like, NEED.
I love Shun knives! I have the Kaji santoku knife and it feels like it was made just for me. Definitely my best kitchen purchase.
you have custom made knives? that is fabulous!
Measuring cup is so cute,,:)
Oh, those Anthro measuring cups are beautiful! Now I have to add those to my list.
I am eying some new running shoes, thinking about going the barefoot/minimalist way.
i absolutely adore the anthropologie home collection. i just posted about those same measuring spoons and milk jug measuring cups last week!
those oatmeal raisin cookies look delish!
oh that’s too funny! Great minds think alike :)
i am obsessed with all anthro kitchen things. The moon definitely made me irritable this time around! I’m always affected by it
I have this great set of metal measuring spoons that are little fish. They aren’t the most practical, but I rarely measure things anyway. They look cool though.
GET A DONUT PAN!! :)
i know, i am going shopping for a donut pan this weekend i think!
and the measuring spoons w/ fish….I had pulled a pic from Anthro with spoons JUST LIKE THAT…but they item was discontinued and the pic was longer available but those are the spoons i want. AGain, we are twins.
Just a tad bit jealous of the weather. Though, it is supposed to be about 80 today, so I can’t really complain too much. I feel fairly boring, haven’t discovered anything new lately that I’m just dying over. Maybe I need to go shopping and remedy that ;-)
Those measuring cups are ADORABLE! Love them all! Need…kind of ;) Just the way you “need” that $400 dollar knife (seriously- who has that kind of money for a knife??). I am getting a flexipat- for all the baking I do? Necessary!
Oh…I am MOVING!!!!!! It’s 62 and cold here…

good luck with your move. such a pain. hope it goes smoothly!
I swear, every month I have been having problems around the full moon and I haven’t put two and two together until I see it at night. I have felt “wonky” (my term of choice) the past few days – irritable, crazed, and anxious – and no, it is not hormonal. When I was driving home last night, I realized there was a big full moon in the sky. I don’t nkow why, but it has been happening like every single month.
PS – when I saw your title “Thursday THings”, I was like, what the heck, it’s not Thursday – it’s Tuesday! Then I got excited because it really really is Thursday.
you’re just more in touch with the natural world lately; that’s a good thing :)
Love those measuring cups!
Full moon moody yesterday-yes.
New and note worthy..hmm. I just made chocolate peanut butter cookies with ghiradelli semisweet chocolate chips and theyre soooo good!
Oh man. You may Have just created a new monster by pointing out Those white chocolate kit kats in #1.
And Those measuring cups Are Amazing!
LOVE those two sets of measuring cups – adorable.
i did not notice the full moon – we had pouring rain that pretty much obscured the sky! enjoy your heat wave…and send sunshine over here!
although…there was a disruption of blackberry service that hit us yesterdy – could be full moon related??! all the more reason why i want an iphone!!!
I actually have Russian nesting doll measuring cups (from Anthropologie of course!) as I have a slight obsession with them…
you do?? from anthro? Wow…that’s pretty cool. And now I want a set…haha!
Do you like yogurt at all? I heard the So Delicious peeps just came out with coconut Greek yogurt. Oh my God the blogger world may just implode!
Random things that make me wish I wasn’t a broke-ass student:
This hairclip: https://www.etsy.com/listing/71056512/cherry-blossom-hair-combs-peach-set-of?ref=fp_treasury_5
This bracelet: https://ooh-shiny.net/?p=10463
Oh, and I have the random desire to get a donut pan!
I blogged about wanting a donut pan 2 installments ago of Thursday things. Yes, I want one!
Greek yogurt…you can really make any yogurt into “greek” by pouring it into a cheesecloth over a bowl and letting the water drain out. Instant thickened “greek” style yogurt.
And I saw the LA meetup, deb, janetha, etc pics. You looked great. Wish I had known!
