Also on my mind, my brother raises turkeys for all of us to enjoy and apparently the black variety of turkey compared to the white variety is moister and juicer. We're doing a taste test, and I'll let you know. This is some of them before they went to the processor last week. Check out that awesome chicken coop my brother built. He wants to build one for me to start raising chickens, but I politely said no thank you.
Where I've been: I had an eye appointment My vision hasn't changed much at all over the last two years. I did a bit of shopping and scored some really good deals on a couple of things for us. I also wanted a new winter coat and found the exact London Fog coat that I was looking for at Kohls. It was originally 160.00 and I saved 70.47 between the sale price and rewards making it 98.17. Can't beat that for such a nice coat. I let my gas tank get quite a bit lower than I usually do and I was pleasantly surprised when I had .60 off a gallon making the gas 2.39. So, I ended up spending much less than I had anticipated.
Where I'm going: I only work Monday and Tuesday this week. I have no appointments, so the options are endless.
What I'm watching: We caught up on Villans and British Bake Off. Other than that, I didn't watch much TV. I am noticing that a lot of trees are bare of their leaves and it's looking close to winter.
What I'm reading: I didn't read much this week either.
What I'm eating:
This week I used a lot of leftovers to make freezer space for Brunswick stew after Thanksgiving.
LO chili made into chili mac with Texas toast.
Chicken pot pie and salad
LO chicken soup with garlic cheese biscuits
LO chicken pot pie and salad
BIG salad
I have beef strips cooking in the crock pot but haven't decided exactly what I want to do with them yet. I have a couple of options stirring around in my mind.
Who needs a good slap: Honestly everyone I came in contact this week was kind so no slaps.
What's making me smile: I watched Sunday Morning on CBS this morning. It was their annual food show and it was really good. If you get a chance, watch it. They had a young girl on their Renad Attallah from Gaza who does cooking segments on Instagram using what food they can get. Her spirit is contagious.
I hope everyone is well and has a lovely week. Remember to embrace each day!!
Raising chickens has become popular in the suburbs here and also gets a NO Thanks from me! My eyes skimmed your ‘Who needs a good slap’ and I initially read it as everyone you came in contact with this week 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It gave me a good laugh!
ReplyDeleteEveryone around our area raises chickens so I can get great eggs for 2-3 dollars a dozen and I'm good. My grandparents raised chickens too and I hated them. It's a big NO for me. Now that would have been a bad week if everyone I came in contact with deserved a slap.
DeleteThose are some nice turkeys. Your meals all sound good.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a nice week for you. Glad you get a few days off this week - enjoy to the fullest.
Thanks Cheryl. He raises around 20-25 every year to process right before the holidays. They are so good. I'm so happy to have a two-day work week. Enjoy your Sunday and the week ahead. My comment on your post today was so short because I accidentally hit publish before I was finished. :-)
