Practical luxury

Surprisingly, it was difficult for me to come up with a luxury item for our retreat next month. I'm just not the pointy-shoe*, high-maintenance, luxury kind. I think our cabin itself is where it's at. And with a laptop already spoken for and games (both the pool and air hockey! tables inside the cabin and Scrabble in Megan's suitcase), I'm set! The only thing I was thinking about bringing was baking supplies - like flour, sugar, Pam, oregano. Things you normally have stocked in your own pantry, and that you don't want to have to buy full containers of for a couple of nights that will only require using a small amount. I imagine we'll all go to the store and throw things into the buggy and just divide up the bill. So, who would get to take home the other 1 1/2 lbs of flour after we've made several dozen batches of cookies? It's just easier (to me) to plan ahead a little and bring what you know you'll need. Like if anyone thinks they want me to make the Tuna Melts for a meal, I'll bring oregano and olive oil and such.

Oh, and do you think the cabin has a blender? Because that will be clutch when I get ready to whip up my famous pina coladas or strawberry daiquiris.

*My husband and I have a theory that the more pointed the shoe, the more high maintenance. think about it.
