My family goes nuts when Chick Fil A brings out the peppermint milkshakes! It's got broken up candy cane and chocolate chips in it. So gives you little things to nibble on along the way. Today was my first. My folks have already had 2!

Greetings all

Yet another nice sunny day. Kiln opened so I got new stuff from the studio after picking up payroll and getting dog food. I had new bisqued items so I started the glazing on those. Then I took the new stuff to the gallery. One of our newer members was there so I got to talk to him a bit

Came home and the house smelled like cooking so I asked DH what he had cooked. Potatoes. Turns out since I had informed him that he would have to peel the potatoes for Thanksgiving, he ordered a potato peeling machine!!! WTF! But he says it does a great job. I guess anything to get out of peeling potatoes by hand. Peps are you jealous? DH also got another apple tv to go on the tv that is mounted above the treadmill. Of course, the main big tv is only about 12 feet away. Our house looks like mission control at NASA.

So we will have the rest of the lentil soup tonight - maybe with potatoes in it since DH cooked quite a few.

Canned cranberry sauce Liz!! No good. I was about 20 years old before I knew there was any other kind thanks to crazy pat, but it sure is worth it to make the real thing and not that hard. Complements to your chef, Liz.

CC your day plans sound good. You are right that your own traditions are what matter. Parachuting in to someone else's traditions could be stressful. Nope.

DD did you taste the pie yet? Regarding gnats, we have a carnivorous plant. A pitcher plant. It seems to be thriving but I think it is either anorexic or vegan since I don't think it eats any gnats. Actually the gnats may be making a home in the puddle of water that the plant has to sit in. We had a couple of other carnivorous plants but they died. Starved for gnats. The place I got them from said they would eat all the fruit flies but not so.

Hey Paula, slow down and get in that spa. Packing takes time as does unpacking.

Hmm the studio building purchase may proceed since owner got some numbers together and they are quite reasonable. Rats more work.

Perhaps a Costco Pumpkin Pie is what we need to bring our country together. It's the Dolly Parton of store bought desserts!
