We just tried our Ninja Creami. Pretty darn cool. We made the banana ice cream. Came out really good. Was really simple to make and the texture is really good. It’s a tad more icy feeling on the pallet but I have a feeling that has to do with the banana in it as I remember the same thing when making banana the old fashioned way. We are going to grab some ingredients and mix up a couple pints of ice cream and a couple pints of smoothie bowls (daughter loves them) and have it in the freezer moving forward. I really like the fact that much like how we make it in our ice cream freezer you control exactly what goes into it and how much sugar and such you use. So far a definite win.

Santa brought the whole family a Ninja Creami. First pint of ingredients went into the freezer yesterday. So today we will try out our first pint of banana ice cream.

Merry Christmas all.

Same here just North of you. Was like 17 this morning when I drove my daughter to school.

That's not good. My grandfather was getting to that point and would have some good and some not so good days. I read the other day that they are testing a new medicine for it that's had some really good results so far. I hope this is something that can soon become a thing of the past.

What are your plans for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day? Christmas Eve: We are going to a small gathering at my cousins house, then we will likely head back home change into PJ's grab our Hot Cocoa and then go look at lights. My wife mentioned going to Christmas services at Church but not sure what time that will be yet. Think we are doing all sorts of appetizers and pies. Christmas Day: We are having my sister and her family over for dinner, my cousin and his family may come by later in the evening after they finish their other plans. Most likely doing Ham, Sweet Potato Casserole, Mashed Potatoes, Parmesan Broccoli, Corn Casserole, Rolls and then a bunch of cookies we are baking tomorrow. New Years Eve: This is my anniversary so we always go out to lunch (just my wife and I), then that evening we are having some family and friends over for a NYE party. Some of them will likely end up staying over so they don't have to drive back home that night and then we can all stay up playing Cards Against Humanity later. Thinking about either doing smoked brisket or if the amount of people isn't huge doing smoked prime rib. If we do brisket I will do cheesy potatoes and probably either baked beans or green beans and rolls. If I do prime rib I will likely make twice baked potatoes and grand marnier carrots.

You’re welcome. We spend time there every summer. Great area.

Wish I could say nice things about many people but I was brought to if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything. I think society has gotten worse since Covid, people think they can say and do what they want no matter what. WRONG. As for shopping, have to finish my wife’s presents this weekend. Was talking about it this morning.

The deals GD says are still available…

Let me know when you’re ready to ship mine.

Very nice

Christmas pajamas and sipping on…

We have NOTHING wrapped. Just got the tree all done. Will probably wrap most of what we have Sunday.

Congrats. You deserve it

I hope I can find a good toaster oven for..

Welcome to our world and most every product now.

We decided to add some more things for outside. Just put up the inflatable tree, have to put up the sidewalk markers this evening. I think we picked up some more net lights for our bushes also. Inside tree is up and decorated, stairs banister is decorated also. We have things up on the walls and doors but still have a bunch more to decorate inside that needs to be done by the weekend.

We’re doing a Christmas party this coming weekend and I’m smoking 2-3 top round roasts, I’m doing cheesy potatoes, honey glazed carrots, gravy, rolls and then we’re going to have cookies and some pies. Christmas Eve we are going to my cousins house. Christmas Day I’ll do my French toast casserole for breakfast, dinner we either do beef or sometimes we make Chinese lol.

Pigeon Forge TN is a great place, a lot to do from Dollywood on down. Can do trips to Cades Cove which is a huge loop where you can see real old settlements and a lot of wild animals (including black bears), you can also go into Gatlinburg and there is a ton to do on the main strip or take a ride over the mountains into Cherokee NC to do some shopping and get to see some of the Cherokee Indian history while on the reservation.

A Wendy’s chicken parm sandwich and a side of

Outside is mostly decorated, tree is up and 90% decorated, rest of the house is about 1/2 done. Will be finished this week lol.

We normally would have had everything done last weekend but we went out of town for thanksgiving and didn’t get home in time.

Got the tree up this evening (daughter is having friends over all night for a bday party). So tomorrow we will decorate it and the rest of the house. Probably get stuff up outside also. Right now only have the inflatable nutcracker up.

Went all Fargo on Christmas huh [emoji23]

We still have to do our. Being out of town for Thanksgiving put us behind.
