I know y’all are having turkey today, but a vegetarian lives here.

I’m making chile rellenos, Mexican rice, and rocks margaritas.

Pumpkin custard for dessert.

¡Saludos, amigos!

Well he made it back unscathed.

Asked him to pick a small rosemary tree for the kitchen. Maybe a foot tall or so.

This is his idea of “small”

😳

The pot is 8” tall 🤦🏻‍♀️

🦅Difficult to hear over the wind buffeting the camera, but Cholyn is giving Chase an earful about something.

“No Brand Chicken”

Hubby: Let’s pop into Costco

Me: We were just there yesterday

Hubby: What’s your point?

🤦🏻‍♀️

All set up.

I organized mine by color number rather than by color families.

Light dinner to make up for all the pancakes and junk food today.
November 25, 2025 at 1:23 AM
Bread. Really good.
Crispy on the outside.
Loaded with cranberries and nuts on the inside.

The dark chocolate pistachios are really good. Crispy.
On close out. We bought one the other day and got 3 more bags today.

First time I’ve ordered these. This is our local breakfast place that we love so much. They taste really good.

But there is way too much

(Guess what I’m having for breakfast tomorrow?)

Pumpkin pancakes

Life is good.

I’m giddy like a kid on Christmas morning. 🎁

Much better than the current method.
November 23, 2025 at 4:43 PM
🪡 I’m going to be busy today.
This is going to be so much fun. 😁

I’m lining the drawers with felt, using a template I cut from 16 -count Aida stitching cloth.

ProTip: Aida is a perfectly square grid pattern which provides an exact cut and fit. 😉
