Mornin folks.
We have a lot to do around the house today. I need to clean the bathroom since my mom seems to be allergic to it. I also will need to do the dishes and some laundry. I may wait till tomorrow to vacuum.
I'm not sure I'll be posting the rest of the week so I hope we all have a safe and happy thanksgiving however you are celebrating (or not). I am not particularly excited as I have a lot of work to do for it. My mom does a share of it but it's usually on me for most of it. At least e found the pecan pie my mom wanted so I won't have to make one(so sweet eck). I wanted a fruit tart or sweet potato pie but was overruled. So I am in the whatever stage. My mom has been nitpicking me a lot lately. Critical of everything I'm doing. It's annoying me.
QOTD: if I make it I'd say cheesecake because I can control the sugar. I want to try one of those "burnt" once from Spain or Portugal, can't remember which one. I do like pie if it's not to sweet.
haven't ate yet today again so I haven't got a clue.
Happy Tuesday Gang. I have a half day today and tomorrow and I'm off Friday. I have a few things to get done this morning before I leave at 12:30. Irvin and I are going to go grocery shopping when I get home for the stuff I need for Thanksgiving. Not much else going on today.
QOTD: Pie or cheesecake which do you prefer for Thanksgiving? It depends on what type of cheesecake and pie it is. I love squash pie and maple pumpkin cheesecake, but I do usually gravitate towards the pie less sugar.
B: coffee and protein shake
L: Not sure since I'm leaving early
D: Shepherds pie
Taking tonight off from the Y to get a few things done.
Have a great day everyone!!!

My SIL's mom is a hard to deal with. It's all about her. But she ignores my nieces and nephew. She doesn't think my brother is good enough for their family. We usually get thanksgiving and Christmas without an issue because the MIL doesn't really want to spend it with em. I am not impressed with em all as my SIL is the only one without a DUI....
i am making fudge before my surgery as my brother loves the peanut butter kind I make. It should be interesting on me stirring it lol.
We're almost done with decorating, thank goodness!
Yeah, coleslaw? Is she planning on bringing KFC too? Actually, their gravy is really good. Probably 90% chemicals, but tasty chemicals.
Sorry your shoulder is so bad today, don't overdo it around the house.
Beautiful jewelry creations! The earrings look like they'd be heavy but I bet they're not.
Hi, sorry to be MIA so long. Stupid Nutritionix is still down on the web, it has really thrown me off. Joined myfitnesspal .com it is as clunky as when it was new and overreaching now too with apparently no way to turn that feature off. I gave it two days and quit. The app version of Nutritionix is acting all buggy now, sigh. I may go back to paper and pen. Been doing batch cooking and portioning to help myself.
We aren't doing Thanksgiving this year, the MIL has claimed it. Hubby dislikes turkey anyway. We're having a tree trimming party on the weekend. It will be a very scaled-back meal. I think there is a turkey breast in the freezer plus many hams (why I bought so many I don't know...fun with food addiction!). Yesterday I found the frozen cranberries and a eye of round roast so hopefully we'll have two meat choices. (Hubby has vetoed the ham. Going to see if my church's food bank would take a few.)
What I used to cook when I got to host was turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cornstarch gravy, sweet potatoes, asparagus, green salad, relish tray, homemade rolls, Russian Cream with fresh fruit, homemade cranberry sauce, corn casserole, mulled cranberry and cider, pumpkin pie, apple pie or cranberry cheesecake and a batch of cheater's fudge as a Christmas pre-show. Pretty much a heart attack in the making. And any dish containing gluten has to be made in a gluten free version too. Luckily we don't have super sensitive Celiacs so I can cook everything carefully in my kitchen. It was my joy to cook so much and send home generous containers of leftovers with everybody.
This week is all prep and putting up the tree with lights today. We have to clean massively before having my SIL over, he is allergic to cats, poor guy. Hope you all stay bundled up, I understand you are due some nasty cold weather. Brrr! Our high is 40 this week and chances of snow. Cold enough for me!

Mornin y'all.
sorry for missing so much last week.
Not much happening today. I have to call and reschedule my mammogram that is supposed to be tomorrow, I am having some serious pain when I lift my arm like you need to. I am hoping to get some stuff around the house done. We shall see on that.
QOTD: it's slimmed down now but used to be a big deal. Fried okra, pickles, olives, cheese tray. We don't do any of that besides olives. This year my SIL is bringing coleslaw. Yeah I don't get it either. We're not doing Mac & cheese either this year. Turkey, ham, sweet potatoes, corn and green chili casserole, mashed potatoes, rise and bake rolls, cranberry sauce(I'm going to make a much less carb heavy version for me). Dessert is pumpkin pie, brownies, and lemon pie. Maybe something else...who knows,
food is unplanned. Haven't had breakfast yet.
Happy Monday Gang!! Another week is upon us. At least it will be a short week. I have to get my list together for the stuff I'm making for Thanksgiving. It was so cold this weekend that I didn't feel like doing much of anything so just cleaned in the house and took my cans/bottles to the redemption center and go $48.80 for them.
QOTD: What do you normally have for Thanksgiving dinner? I've always had turkey or a turkey breast for dinner along with mashed potatoes, turnip, butternut squash, little boiled onions, cranberry sauce, stuffing, gravy, and biscuits.
B: Coffee and Protein shake
L: wedding soup and a salad
D: chicken marsala
Hitting the Y for a water aerobics class.
Have a great day everyone!!
