The traditional Thanksgiving dinner is turkey. But there are some people who like to mix it up a little and fix something other fowl. Like, a goose or a duck. I had goose for Christmas about 12 years ago – that was a nice change and it tasted fantastic!
All I know is that I like turkey and want to keep Thanksgiving based on a turkey dinner. But maybe not turkey again for Christmas. Maybe its time for another goose at Christmas?
My grocery store trip included two big bags of candy. But I cannot believe how expensive candy is now! I almost never buy candy for myself – I just don’t even go down that grocery store aisle on a regular shopping trip. But since this weekend is Halloween, I wanted to have some candy on hand for the trick or treaters.
Of course, I bought candy that I like. So if there are not many kids this year, Whatever is leftover will not go to waste. I t would be a real shame to throw away perfectly good candy, now wouldn’t it?
Thank God for Indian Summer. It got cold for a few days, which always gets the leaves to turn color. Then it gets warm again. So I can still grill my supper most nights. That’s what I love about the South. Almost never too cold and nasty to grill. Thos suckers up north have to deal with soups and stews in the winter. But down here we are still barbecuing and grilling steaks outside on the deck. Oh, snap!
Pushing my grocery cart through the aisles at Food Lion I was all about trying to find the 9 or 10 things on my shopping list and out of the blue someone bumped into my cart and burst out laughing. My first reaction was to frown, well, scowl and snarl, actually. But then I saw that it was Sheila and I had to bust out a laugh, too.
I cannot believe that Sheila shops at the same grocery store that I do. She is clear on the other side of the Lake and the Kroger is much closer to her. But she says that she likes the smaller store because she can get what she wants and check out ten times faster than going to the huge, crowded Kroger. So I have to agree, I avoid the Kroger for quick trips like today and only go there once every 4 to 6 weeks to stock up on meat and other things that Food Lion doesn’t carry.
Tonight I had a craving for pizza. I was about to call Domino’s when I realized I was low on cash. I c never get pizza delivered for less than $20 and it is usually more than that. So I drove up to the Food Lion and bought two D’Giorno frozen pizzas on sale for five bucks each. They cooked up in 20 minutes, which is less time than Domino’s takes for delivery nowadays. They tasted pretty good. At leas they satisfied my craving for pizza tonight and dinner only cost me ten bucks!
