I completly forgot to take pictures of the food for Thanksgiving. It was awesome though! Both my mom and sister brought dishes that were yummy. We had deviled eggs that my father-in-law made and of course all the other stuff that you find on a Thanksgiving table. Cooking dinner hasn't been on my mind that much yet because even though everybody took home food, we still have a fridge full of leftovers. I didnt have to bring out my emergency 5th pie so we get to eat my pumpkin pie - yumm!
Been making my grocery list and checking recipes, Ill probably cook dinner tomorrow. I've been checking out this Chicken and Sausage Gumbo recipe in the crockpot served over hot cooked rice, sounds and looks so yummy so maybe Ill start that Sunday morning while I start to break down the tables and put stuff away. My house is still kinda all over the place.
I actually went shopping on Black Friday! I usually make a point to stay home and away from the crowds. I went to Gretchens, only the best kitchen store in the world, and bought myself a baking stone for bread making, a really nice high quality set of measuring spoons. If you saw the ones Ive been using for the past 10 years, you would hate them as much as I do. I also found the cutest little glass air tight containers that are for herbs and spices. Im really excited about those because I've been storing about 6 or 7 spices in baby food jars that I've had since Mia was a little babe. I'll be happy to finally throw those in the recycle bin.
I also went to Joann Fabrics, holy cow did I score there but I waited in line FOREVER to have my fabric cut. I found some nice fleece patterns that Im gonna make into a large blanket for Mia. Its a style that I think she will be able to enjoy for a long time, its timeless and ageless if you know what I mean. Then I went to Target...twice. I found a crapload of stuff for both the girls, tons of jammies, nice shirts and sweaters, socks, Hello Kitty slippers for Mia, and toys. I definitly scored, so much I went back for more.
Even my husband did shopping. He got up before 5am to be at the hunting and fishing sport store to get the coolest gps system that has special programs for hunting. He's excited and its nice to see him so happy with his gadget. He also got a nice hunting backpack for dirt cheap. To say the least, we ALL scored so much that Im gonna make a big breakfast.
