Heart #55 goes to...Marinated Skirt Steak at The Mad Batter Restaurant, Cape May, NJ


Heart #55 goes to Marinated Skirt Steak at The Mad Batter Restaurant in Cape May, NJ!  Must be all this talk about Alice in Wonderland that reminded me of the best marinated skirt steak I've ever had at The Mad Batter Restaurant.  The restaurant is located in the Carroll Villa Hotel on Cape May's historic Jackson Street.  If you've ever been to Cape May, but never been to The Mad Batter, put it on your list of restaurants to go to.  If you love skirt steak, this is the place to get it.  It is marinated in a dijon and brown sugar marinade with bacon and fingerling potato hash and haricot verts.  If you've never been to Cape May...you must put that on your list of places to go to before you die.  It is really beautiful!  I have had the skirt steak for the past three years and every year it never disappoints.  It is just as good as I remember it.  I only wish I had a picture of the dish...but I will get one on our next trip.  I can't wait for this summer!

Heart #25 goes to...eBags Packing Cubes

Heart #25 goes to...eBags Packing Cubes.  I had done a few online surveys, got some reward points, and was able to shop eBags.com.  I stumbled upon these packing cubes and thought they were interesting.  I got the red cubes for myself and green ones for my hubby.  I think they are great.  When we go on trips I am able to really sort our clothes and fit them in the suitcase in a neater way.  When you get to your destination, you can just slip them right into drawers and keep everything organized.  I bought two cube sets each and I use them to separate socks, undergarments, t-shirts, even shoes.  They have handles and a mesh top to give them some air.  I even use the larger size for a small airline pillow and blanket and use it as a carry on.  The possibilities are endless.  They sell for about $24 dollars and come in a few different colors.
