Gator Pam

Also all of the GD shirts I won over the years, as well as my blue and gray GD canvas shopping bags.

I'm at the point in life where Beorn is grown and no grandkids or great nieces or nephews in the picture yet. So, I honestly mostly window shop for deals and think, "If I had the need, room, and money, that would be a great find!" I still find the hunt fun, even if I no longer actually purchase anything.

Next up for me will be Break Fast after sunset Wednesday night. I'll go super easy, since it's still just the three of us and I really won't want to cook after fasting without water for 27 hours. Smoked whitefish Lox Creamed herring Bagels Cream cheese Lettuce, tomato, onion, full sour pickles Creamy cole slaw If guests were coming, I would probably purchase Trader Joe's cheese blintzes and mae a blintz casserole as well. But the bagels and fish will work for us.

I did, with no kids to spend it on. Let me know if you still need.

Rabbit Rabbit! Rabbit!!

Are any of our Canadian friends planning their Thanksgiving menus?

This is my favorite recipe out of everything I made this Yuntiff. Jake Cohen's Upside Down Apple Honey Cake It is seriously amazingly good. https://www.facebook.com/560391364/posts/pfbid02avLF7pXr3TFRrsRcRtcBnwJXbnEFbfprDUAyfDggbtRW7U9WazB8EaGvjyH68kL3l/ *edit* I was asked to post the recipe for those who don't Instagram. I totally understand, as I resisted Instagram for years. However, I try not to repost someone else's work without permission, which I don't have. After searching, I did find the recipe on the Williams-Sonoma site. Here it is for those who prefer. https://blog.williams-sonoma.com/rosh-hashanah-honey-apple-cake-recipe-jake-cohen/

The plum and rosemary filled challah is approaching its last legs, and I'm working the next couple of mornings, so French toast it is! https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02uAaXvuZ5nUZcoN6SjHgkjjHMXPQbBhFEAtbUCF35PBNqekqozP21g7gsio7PMQtwl&id=560391364

The second side dish for the Festive Meal was Bourbon Maple Glazed Carrots https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0yXqa87gc783HotGQEZojahsqorz8X8RqNtJNW9jYWjSbdCFMPMvFff82dbVPecB3l&id=560391364

Score with GottaDeal Both online and in-store finds Best deals site around! (I did just compose this, but it seems an obvious one. If someone else has used in the past, please let me know and I'll think of another)

Happy, Healthy, and Sweet New Year!

The Main dish of the Festive Meal: Apple Glazed Chicken Thighs https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0ecPJtGiH5ehCyqKrtYxmKzEurpFMrKNWxc2X2ytyzpJTWt77KGVV87HrrQm99vjkl&id=560391364

Orzo Salad for the Festive Meal. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0df8DBipKKrR65F3pnKskyHGycAUmFUniRNYT2DFRpDhFXnJtB5C5688b8wZXpNFvl&id=560391364

Next item for the Festive meal was the Pumpkin Spiced Matzah Balls in Pumpkin Soup. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0MaMsnGM2SWvs7zp3Vd7rqE4FrwX4nxfirtnSansyfmmyC2RPbFg78WmjoG2LwL6vl&id=560391364

Mostly step-by-step breakdown of the Plum and Rosemary Challot I made for last night's Festive Meal. I figure it's easier to share the original post on my Facebook timeline, than to type it all up again. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02Gvq4z6QBdaxDS6EYDGmMBmqEQfYUnYyY3nTJtUt8AotHjcAAoVNg9Lq21X3jLSsUl&id=560391364 Presentation Interior view

Ooo... Those are amazing!

Nice that it's not at the same time as Target's Deal Days.

I was 11 months behind you.

Rosh Hashanah Festive Meal prep has begun. I have the Orzo Salad finished, the matzah balls resting overnight in the refrigerator, and the challah in the oven as I type. Pictures to come later, when I'm recovered from cooking for several days,or perhaps after we eat it all. I know I said no dessert, but I forgot about honey cake. I'm not going to serve one tomorrow night,but I'll probably bake one on Monday.

I would love a hoodie, but suspect they'll be out of my price range, which is basically $0 for myself. Hoping to win a contest with a hoodie as a prize.

This was my first thought as well. Either that, or Target decided last year's version was successful enough to repeat.

I think my Rosh Hashanah Festive Meal Sunday night menu is finalized. Apples and honey Plum Jam and Rosemary Stuffed Challah Pumpkin Soup with Pumpkin Spiced Matzah Balls Apple Glazed Chicken Honey Maple Carrots Orzo Salad I think we'll pass on dessert. That'll do.

Happy National Elephant Day!

I should have posted this yesterday...
