Turkey or Ham?

Heading to the grocery store tomorrow and I have this wild notion to skip buying a turkey this time for Christmas dinner. I like turkey and all the fixings, but Thanksgiving was just over 3 weeks ago and I seriously don’t want to eat turkey again so soon. I’m thinking a ham for Christmas dinner would be a nice change. Or maybe a goose. That would be so continental – a proper goose for Christmas dinner. I don’t even know if you can buy a goose at the grocery stores around here. and we don’t have proper butcher shops in this area. I think I will go to the biggest grocery store in the area – if anyone would have a goose I would think it is the big Kroger up at Providence Center.

Doubleshot with Soy

I stood in line at Starbucks today and I was amazed at all the special tweaks people like to put in their coffee. I don’t even see how those poor clerks behind the counter can remember all the things the customer requires. And a double shot with soy doesn’t even sound good to me. Where did that guy get the idea that soy belongs in coffee in the first place?

Pickin at Leftovers

Our Thanksgiving meal was very tasty and I’m glad we had some leftovers. That means I don’t have to worry about cooking for a couple of days. I can just pick at leftovers and have plenty of food without the bother of a full meal.

I had a 22 pound turkey plus a small ham for our dinner on Thursday. Some of that is left, but even better is all the side dishes and desserts that are left. I enjoyed a slice of cherry pie for breakfast. Yes, being a grownup is a good thing!

Groceries for Turkey Day

Today is going to be a busy one and I have to get my groceries for Thanksgiving. This year we are gathering a few family members and several friends together for a big meal. Most of the friends are here as either new to the area, newly divorced, or people with no family to include them. I think Thanksgiving is about sharing what you have and being with people you care about. So that’s our plan and today I have to get the turkey. Wish me luck, and hope you have a nice Thanksgiving.

Two-fers

Some of the best deals are two-fers of BOGOs. But when you are a single guy, it makes it hard to take advantage of them. Most of the time I really only need or want one. So getting two isn’t a savings when I have no use for it. Of course I could find a way to donate some thing, but some stuff, like two sub sandwiches for the price of one, just doesn’t work out.
