Cedar and Overalls – A Vacation State of Mind

Two nights ago I used our new cedar planks to make cedar plank salmon with candied pecans. It was delicious but more importantly, as soon as those soaked cedar planks hit that dry oven, it made the whole place smell like cedar, which is the precise smell of steamy, relaxing cruise ship sauna.

Cheapest vacation I’ve ever taken.

In other news, despite this flattering description of overalls,

Unless you are a tyke or a farmer, this is not an attractive look. Try to wear pants that don’t extend over your shoulders and wear clothing in general that doesn’t instantly bring to mind characters from Hee-Haw. 

in one of my most favorite books in the whole entire world,  563 Stupid Things People Do To Mess Up Their Lives by Dr. Larry (highly recommended if you want to laugh so hard that tears are streaming down your face), I really, desperately want a pair of overalls this season! When cuffed at the ankle and paired with the right shoes, tops, accessories, and some braids, they’re not the tacky overalls of the 90s!

I think I could probably find a vintage pair at the thrift store if I put my mind to it. Sure beats the $398 price tag for a new designer pair!

Cedar planks and thrift store overalls, my friends, is today’s lesson in creating a relaxing summer vacay on the cheap.
