New toys!

I had just ordered a few things on Amazon prior to leaving for Germany, and they were here waiting for me...as well as a few ATC's from fellow blogger artists, which I will try and post in the next few days! Thought I would show you my 3 new goodies!
First is a cigarette lighter charger for my new HP Mini laptop for travelling!

Then a cute little soft cover for it...it fits into my purse, and I chose a black one so it would hide dirt better! Ain't it cute???

Last, I ordered a Prickly Pear cookbook, which looks like it has the best looking recipes in it...with full color phots of each finished recipe! I am dying to try one this weekend after I get out to the market for both fruits and pads! Will let you know how things turn out and get a few pics too!

Have a happy Thursday tomorrow!!!

    It's always fun to try out new toys, isn't it? You will have to let us know how the prickly pear recipes turn out.

    I can't wait to hear what prickly pear can do for your palate. Maybe it'll turn out to be the manna in the desert, capable of supplying all nutritional requirements.

    I can't wait to see what you do with those prickly pears. I am trying to get up the nerve to stir fry my purslane. Somethings seems odd about the whole thing. My luck I will end up in the ER.

    Sue- I agree...it does seem a tad scary stir frying the purslane! Do a lot of research first!!!!! LOL!
