readera: a cup of tea with an open book behind it (Default)
 
I have had a lovely holiday so far.   Thanksgiving dinner was a bit rough & stressful for me. We didn't make all the sides that were originally on the menu. Original menu included turkey roulade, potatoes, carrots, cornbread dressing, cranberry sauce & ham.  We ended up eating cornbread dressing, turkey roulade, ham & cranberry sauce. I made simple cranberry sauce  , which turned out great. We used turkey legs for the roulade & deboned the meat, including taking out all the little bones. Next time, we are defiantly using breasts. For desert we got an apple cobbler, which is currently baking in the oven. We also got Mexican chocolate ice cream which is delicious. It has a swirl of cinamon in chocolatey goodness. :) <3

For the retail holiday black friday, after lunch of leftover sandwiches, we went to the movies. We saw Wreck it Ralph 2, which was full of internet references & inside jokes.  Cute kid movie & all the kids in the theater were very well behaved!  Afterwards we went to the thrift store, which was having a 50% off sale. I got a handknit sweater that fits great, a comercial argeyl sweater & a loungy long sleeve t shirt. J got a new pair of pants. He also got a second, small, computer monitor for $10! He has it all hooked up & is super excited about it. I also got a new purse, which I need to switch over to this weekend. 

How was your holiday, if you celebrated Thanksgiving & Black Friday?

Why is it that I am so bad at shopping & forgetting things? 
Ironically most of the things I forgot are holiday or winter related. I forgot to get more tea which makes me very sad. The closer stores really don't have a good tea selection at all. J is about to be out of his peppermint tea too. 
The store didn't have Hanukkah candles, but that was a bit of a long shot. I'll have to order some online. I may get some tea that way too. I haven't ordered tea online before but I'm sure it will be fine. *knocks on wood

We are stocked up on crackers, medicine, and we have leftover chicken soup and beef stew. What do you like to stock up on for the holidays ?
