Hi all.
Went to the park and walked today. My cleaning service was here this morning, so the house is nice and clean. I've made the corn bread for the stuffing today, and will make the cranberry sauce and cheesecake. Hubby ordered a bench for our mud room and that came today, and he put it together. It's nice. Good to have a place to sit in there and change our shoes!
Roger, the "classes" are at the Sr. Ctr. The cost is minimal. Stained glass and clay we pay each time we go, the painting and drawing class,we pay $25 for 8 weeks, they add a week if we miss one for weather.
Jo, apple pie sounds yummy. My Mom used to make apple pies and lemon merangue pies with crust that tasted like vanilla cookies....they were good. I'm going to make a pumpkin cheese cake with sour cream topping, and gingersnap crust. I've never tried it before, but it sounds good!
Irene, it was not as cold as I thought it would be on the walk today, but I did wear layers and a scarf/hood to keep my head warm. Hope you're having a great birthday!
Happy Wednesday, everyone.0 -

P.S. it is only the farmed Turkeys that can not fly I seem to remember that wild Turkeys fly quite well if they need to. It is the ones that have been bred to have huge breast that can't.0 -

It isn't that I like it better, The reason I am trying it out is that the posts that were held for moderator approval, Some of them never made it and were deleted since the Moderator though they were duplicates from my trying more than once. Thus this way if that happens again only one will need approval. Hence My trying it this way. I also sort of wondered if anybody else felt like joining in, Originally others were using it too.
I am the only one using that challenge for quite a while, everybody else dropped out, I now use it as a place to put my thoughts in order and had been copying it to the posts. I started it and expected it to run May 23, 2016 to July,3 2016, Oh Well it is what it is.
Happy Birthday
Roger

Both My Brother and I used to get a free Frozen Turkey from work for years. I am somewhat surprised considering that where You work meaning they get them at cost this is the first year for You.
They Sound Frugal TBH.
It would be nice to have someone else there. That sort of accountability can help with motivation IMO.
Homemade Cranberry Sauce is sitting in the refrigerator waiting. Pumpkin Pie and heavy Cream ready to become Whipped Cream too. The Two Pumpkin Pies are enough for us this holiday, Possibly Apple or some other for Christmas/New Years Day meal.
FWIW in the past I have had the ShopRite Very Berry Pie and Wow, so good that I ate way to much. If You are curious I did see this recipe
https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/triple-berry-pie/
and this one too
https://www.mrssmiths.com/products/original-flaky-crust/original-flaky-crust-very-berry.htm
The Raspberries give it a sweet and tart taste IMO. So GoodJoanne3366 wrote: »Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi, Going back to how I had been doing it unless I get another warning that post is being held for moderation to approve it.
I'm back home from walking and once again nothing found. The Temperature out the door was 12 degrees. The weather feels more like Mid winter in temperature. Yesterday broke some record cold temperatures and The 12 degrees will be breaking records too. According to the weather forecasts I saw Yesterday came in as the second coldest Thanksgiving day.

Hi all.
Went to the park and walked today. My cleaning service was here this morning, so the house is nice and clean. I've made the corn bread for the stuffing today, and will make the cranberry sauce and cheesecake. Hubby ordered a bench for our mud room and that came today, and he put it together. It's nice. Good to have a place to sit in there and change our shoes!
Roger, the "classes" are at the Sr. Ctr. The cost is minimal. Stained glass and clay we pay each time we go, the painting and drawing class,we pay $25 for 8 weeks, they add a week if we miss one for weather.
Jo, apple pie sounds yummy. My Mom used to make apple pies and lemon merangue pies with crust that tasted like vanilla cookies....they were good. I'm going to make a pumpkin cheese cake with sour cream topping, and gingersnap crust. I've never tried it before, but it sounds good!
Irene, it was not as cold as I thought it would be on the walk today, but I did wear layers and a scarf/hood to keep my head warm. Hope you're having a great birthday!
Happy Wednesday, everyone.
I had this set to reply to and then overlooked it somehow, Oops.
I do not recall ever having had Corn Bread Stuffing.
A place to sit down and change from outdoors to indoors shoes makes sense to me. We do not have a Mud Room as such, We have a Enclosed Front porch that keeps inclement weather off while fumbling for the Front Door Key
Senior Centers are a great resource and it sounds as if the price is really low.
Your Cheese cake sounds as if it will be delicious. I wonder how a Pecan Crust would taste ?
Stay Warm Today

You would think I would have a reminder program in my computer, I do not however.
Thanksgiving Day was Good with one exception, That Exception being the overeating.
I ended up eating Buttered Egg Noodles, Mashed Potatoes and Bread Stuffing with some butter melting into them and smothered in Home Made Gravy. Sprouts and Asparagus Deviled Eggs that came out really tasty, A relish tray, And of course Home Made Pumpkin Pie. I passed on the Home Made Whipped Cream and never did get to the Home Made Cranberry sauce. Turkey Breast in my case covered in Gravy too.
Yikes, I will need until Christmas to fully recover I suspect. Then Come Two Holiday meals a week apart.
Later today or Tomorrow I plan on breaking down the Turkey into 9 ounce packages and feed the freezer with much of it. My Brother is planning to break down the Dressing into portions and we will Vacuum seal it as well as much of the Cranberry Sauce. I think that one of the Pumpkin Pies shall be Vacuum Sealed and frozen using a Pleated Vacuum bag that can take the pie, pan and all.
I hope You had a Good Holiday

You could think of me like the cartoon character Chilly Willy the Penguin that hated the cold.
I wore a Pocket T-shirt to hold my iPod, a thin Long sleeve shirt, a Sweatshirt and a heavy Hoodie due to cold weather outdoors. I just looked at the remote reading from the front porch and I see that it has dropped from the 12 degrees when I left and returned from walking and it has dropped to 11 degrees, I wonder if it will go lower ?
Have a Good Day

Good morning.
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Roger:
It's about 23 here and cloudy, expected high of 35.
I overate too, but it was all delicious. I sent a lot of the leftovers home with my children.
Roger, corn bread stuffing is delicious, but very heavy in calories as is all other delicious bread stuffing! An enclosed porch would also be a good place to sit down and take shoes off. We usually come in through the garage, right into our little mud room.
The pumpkin cheesecake was defiitely a winner.

The pumpkin cheesecake was definitely a winner.
Hi Irene and Jo!
Happy Friday everyone.
Me too, it was so delicious that Friday I ended up heating leftover Mashed Potatoes, Bread Stuffing with butter melted into them along with some homemade gravy. Then I followed that up with Turkey covered in Gravy. Then Brussels Sprouts, Asparagus, Some Green olives stuffed with Pimentos, Black Olives and some Sweet Gherkins followed up with a slice of Homemade Pumpkin Pie and Homemade Whipped cream topping the pie.
Today All the leftovers that are left get portioned up, Vacuum Sealed and Frozen. That should remove any temptations. I will leave some Turkey unfrozen to use for Proteins today.
We do not have a seat on the porch, it is not that large and some of the room is taken up with the Garbage Can, Recycle Can and Containers of Salt now that winter has arrived.
IMO Cheesecake done right is a winner. I am glad to hear Yours was a winner.
Thank You for the Birthday Wishes

The Going for the Tree should work for more exercise.
Just curious what it costs, There was something in the news recently that Christmas tree prices are higher this year as the supply is lower.

Hi Joanne0 -
Good morning.
Haha...we had lots of leftovers yesterday too. I will not do that today....maybe some of the turkey for dinner. I feel roly-poly. I could use that machine that tightens one's muscles and lowers fat!!!
Its very cloudy/foggy/gray out this morning, forecast of rain with a high of 44. Bundled up and walked in the park yesterday. Did some laundry. Put away the good dishes til next holiday. No plans yet for today.
Happy Saturday, everyone.

Good morning;
I think it is normal to overeat on Thanksgiving. Now back to reality.
Irene-I love the smell of a real tree, but hate the pine needles.
I put up my Christmas decorations this morning. I don't think I will put up a tree this year.
The decorations and the lights in the windows are enough.
My daughter and I are going to see Lightwire Theater Christmas show tonight.
The show is performed in the dark and the performers look like glow stick figures.
Have a good day!

Friday my Brother said he was Turkey'd out for a couple of days.
We count on or depend on leftovers from Thanksgiving and Christmas for our New Years Day Meal... So far we have Vacuum sealed and frozen Turkey, Gravy, Homemade Cranberry Sauce, and Stuffing. Maybe 1/2 of the second Pumpkin Pie too. Right now I have some of the leftover Turkey Breast in the refrigerator to use with my meals as the extra protein as I go back to the NS diet plan.
When I headed out the door there was a breeze so I felt some wind chill, then within a half hour that died away so it was comfortable despite being dressed a bit lightly.
Have a Good Day

I think You are 110% correct about feeling like a stuffed turkey, I know I do, and that is despite being 100% NA yesterday.
There is nothing like the smell of a fresh Christmas Tree, From what I have been seeing on the TV news that is a good price.
Is that a fitted carpet or an area rug? Fitted can be a nuisance what with putting in the tack strips and tensioning the carpet onto them.
Have a Nice Day

Normal it could be, But healthy ?
The needles can be a problem, I have been having a problem with the vacuum cleaner hose clogging easily. I found the problem the other day, I do not know how but I found the problem, It sucked up a paring knife, where and how I do not know
My brother is starting to talk about putting up the tree, Some rearranging needs to be done first.
I wonder if the Christmas show uses LED lights, I know I would do that.

Roger-We froze a lot of the leftovers. Hubby makes up lunches, so he can take them to work.
Hi Vix.
I wasn't too impressed with the show last night. Their story line was not cohesive at all.
I am glad we didn't pay a lot for the tickets.
It is raining here and poured most of the night. Nothing planned for today, will see how the day unfolds.

Hi all.
The weather is beautiful here today. We went for a walk in the park, a bit muddy from all the rain yesterday, but nice to be out.
Jo, you always do such interesting things!
Roger, some interesting stories.

I have been afraid to get on the scale, I could tell I put on some weight by the hole I used in my belt.
The nice thing about LED lights is that they are miserly with electricity compared to the older lights. That holds for the old Vacuum Tube TV sets, and the HDTVs that used fluorescent bulbs for the back-lights. That includes the older laptops too.
Good Luck walking
