Good morning Jen and Meneurs,
Hey Jen, how do you do your ham salad. I grind the ham and mix with Dill Relish and Mayo. It was by accident I used the Dill relish. Sent DH to store and that's what he came back with. Everybody loved it so I continue to do it the same. I now think the sweet relish is too sweet. I have to get a tooth drilled today. I think it is just and old filling that needs replaced. Not happy but at least it will be done.
QOTD: Nope there are only 5 I am the only one cookie so I am going back to the basics. I'm not even going to make a cheesecake. Ron likes a Cream puff cake he's aunt used to make so I will do that. And sonce there are only 5 no need for more than 1 desert.
Accountability: I did make it to both my gym classes. If it is full you get on a wait list and if people cancel you get in. I started at number 10 on the wait list on Wednesday and did not get in till 8PM Friday night. She needs to find a way to reprimand habitual cancelers. I like to be prepared and in the mindset that I am going. It sucks not to know till that late.

Good mornin all!
I have an appointment with the dreaded eye specialist today. It'll be testing today and seeing the doctor in a few weeks or so. I hate this visit because of the wait time. I've been there as long as 5 hours, I kid you not. I've been having a few issues so I need this visit. They do a dye test so that's always fun.
other than that we have the kids today...they were off the hook crazy! But fun. It's always a mess but a happy mess.
I have a lot to do this week like much of us do.
QOTD: Nothing new really. I am making a lemon chess pie but I have made them before, just not usually for the holidays. I am making an apple cobbler too.
food is unplanned. Lunch will be a big ? My appointment will bleed into lunch I am sure.
Whoa Monday already. Ended up taking a bunch of stuff out of the freezer and made everything from venison and pork jerky to ham salad with some cut up random pieces of pork from one of the pigs. Then some split roasted chickens. I told my husband we are going to eat a lot more out of the freezers. Heck, I found three hams and a leg of lamb that I didn't realize I had things can definitely get lost in huge freezers.
We did go shopping for just the side dishes for Thanksgiving and the only thing I have to get is stuffing bread both stores I went to did not have any. I'm even making a new pie Irvin wanted a pecan pie, but the sugar content is insane. He said how about just adding some pecans to the squash pie. So, I found a spiced squash pie with candied pecans. The pecans are roasted with honey so that will be the only "sweet" thing. He's all excited about it. The crust will be made with almond and coconut flour, crushed pecans, honey, and spices.
QOTD: Is anyone making anything new or different this Thanksgiving? The squash pie is the only thing that will be a bit different this year hopefully it comes out good.
B: coffee and 2 hard boiled eggs
L: protein shake
D: liver, mushrooms, and onions
Have a wonderful Monday everyone!!!

That market sounds awesome.
I'm so thankful our car fits in the garage now, we've had a lot of frosty mornings and I hate scraping the windows.

Yay for new windows! It's the kind of thing worth getting excited about! I would love to replace our huge front window, if e could I'd be giddy,

Your pup does look like he feels bad about it. He is probably having some anxiety from the recent changes. He'll calm down soon and adapt to your digs.

Great pics! If I were near you I'd make sure you had a birthday where you didn't have to do much of anything! My birthdays are usually like that too, I most often than not have to make my own desserts and meal. I'd also help with the prep with you! Your cooking skills are amazing!
I buy a lot from Walmart and have it delivered. They now have a service where you can do returns from home. They send someone to pick the package up. Really nice for seniors like me who cannot always get out to do returns. Sometimes I will check Amazon and end up finding something online from Walmart instead.

Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I was planning to watch that one also. Enjoy!
