Ticking along

So Friday night I was gifted with a bag of "they have to be used NOW!" potatoes from my next door neighbor. Just the right amount needed for turkey day mashed potatoes. So go those cooked up and made and in the freezer on Saturday. Also made pumpkin pies and baked yams on Saturday. Sunday I discovered I have plenty of GF bread bits and pieces I didn't have to bake any for the mushroom and leek bread pudding I am making for my dressing side dish. So I baked up a double batch of GF dinner rolls and they almost didn't make it to the freezer. They were so yummy fresh and warm out of the oven with some butter. Looking forward to them with butter, turkey and gravy on them. Got most of the kitchen in order, still have a couple clutter spots (the kitchen table for one) to clear and figure out where things like my vacuum sealer are going to get stored since I lost my shelving space. I will leave it out for now to vac seal turkey leftovers this weekend. We'd picked up a

I say again. BBBBBRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thankfully the weather looks to be warming up by the end of the week, so that is good. My mom and aunt will be coming into town next week, so that will be nice. Time to start getting ready for turkey day, I am so not ready for it, have to finish menu planning. Tho that won't be hard, just have to decide on what new dish to try out. Looking at a leek and mushroom bread pudding (gluten free of course) so I can have something to go with turkey while everyone else can have regular crock pot dressing. Now have a 2nd refrigerator installed in the kitchen. Lost a lot more shelving and storage than I thought I would. Have to get creative with storage now. Also gives me a reason to jettison a number of small appliances I really don't use anymore and that took up valuable real estate. Got a nice pile of things by the front door awaiting the trip to the Hope Center. This one is a side by side. We've disconnected the electronics for the freezer door since the ice maker or somethi

BRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So glad I have the winterization of the house pretty much done, it has gotten a tad bit chilly this week. Hubby thinks with the wind chill this morning it was close to 0F when he went out to run the flags up. Had a good weekend. Made enough to cover my table at the market and pay for a table at the Company Town Christmas Craft Sale in Potlatch on Dec 13. More details later. Right after the Market on Saturday we headed down to Lewiston for a quick shop. Needless to say I was pretty well wiped out by the time we got home. Sunday was a VERY low energy day. Only things I had on the schedule was finish up the winterization of the house. Spent most of the day curled up watching Acorn.tv and Netflix. Gearing up for Turkey day, need to go thru and see what new recipes I want to try this year. I liked the way the bird came out last year just stuffed with onions, lemons and herbs, will do so again. I've come across a few new side dishes, so will see which ones I want to do.

Couple more days to go!

Got a number of cufflinks made. Here are 4 sets I got from the little heatsinks from a video card: I have a couple cufflink/tie tack sets made from some keys off of keyboards. Will probably make a few more pair of keyboard key cufflinks to sell. Still anxiously awaiting Friday to see what my name looks like on a magazine byline LOL! Can't wait to see which set of pictures they used for the article. I really wish they would give us a sneak peek. Winco had porketta roasted on sale the other night. Picked up a twin pack and tossed one in the slow cooker this morning for an easy supper. Will do up some noodles of some kind to go with it. I love easy dinners.
