And this is always next. We had a fireplace in Florida to hang our stockings but not here, so I found this and really love it.
Meet Claire and Oliver. Before the bitter cold snap, TBG and I took a horse and buggy ride downtown around the Commons and it was so nice. I really wanted to go to the Christmas parade, but the traffic and parking are always so annoying we decided to pass. I think we're just getting older because traffic and parking never kept us from doing anything before. 😏
I've mentioned many times that we have an awesome farmers market and many farms to buy from. Well now a lot of them have come together and they are doing a Winter Market inside the mall December thru March. I was so excited! My favorite farmer is there along with a lot of others. There is fresh dairy, meat, some veggies and so many other things. It's great to be able to buy things to support the locals and I love meeting more new people.
What we've been eating...
Chicken Tika Masala with rice and naan
BIG salad
Chicken, baked potato and salad
Steak, scalloped potatoes and green beans. The steaks were huge, so we split one for dinner and used the other one to make steak sandwiches. SO delicious!
Beef taco over rice with a cheese roll up.
Tonight, we're having fish tacos with slaw.
I hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful time of year!!
Are you ready for Christmas?
The steak looks great and i love the chicken tika masala too. Continue to enjoy the advent time.
ReplyDeleteThank you Angie! I hope you are enjoying the season as well.
DeleteYour meals look delish.
ReplyDeleteMany, many years ago I got to go on a horse and buggy ride around the city at Christmas. It was so cold, but just beautiful.
Glad you are enjoying the season.
Thank you. We were luckily able to do it before it got quite so cold. It was a lot of fun seeing the lights downtown this way. I hope you have a lovely week!!
DeleteYour dinners always look/sound so good.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on skipping things because of traffic and parking. I'm not much into crowds these days. A carriage ride sure sounds nice
Thank you. The last few years we catch ourselves deciding not to do something because of parking or crowds so I guess those days are over for the most part. It was fun and not quite as cold yet.
DeleteI'm with you on the traffic and parking deal. It's one of the big reasons why I want to move. A smaller town away from the big city sounds so appealing right now.
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is 20 years ago when we lived in big city with 10x more crowds and traffic it didn't bother either of us at all. But now here in a small town, neither of us want to deal with any crowds or parking issues. I guess we are officially getting old!
DeleteMy tikka marsala attempts are never as good as I want them to be. About Christmas: haven't started! After this I go to the garage and see what I can do.
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas Countdown is very cool!
ReplyDeleteWe aren't fans of traffic and parking either. I would love the carriage ride.
