Happy Friday everyone,
Will you be shopping til you drop this weekend or shopping til your fingers drop on the keyboard?
Living so rural I shop more and more online-easy to compare prices with different stores and sites too. and I Love getting mail.😀
This was the first Thanksgiving meal in several years that we didn't visit our friends in the huge log home. Even without the covid lurking around we would have stayed home this year.
I grilled a turkey tenderloin in my cast iron grill pan and it turned out soooo well. Very moist and delicious. I used olive oil all over it and sprinkled on Mrs. Dash garlic and herbs for the seasoning.
We had a cold but pretty sunny day at the lake
I usually serve healthy-so this meal was no different-steamed brussel sprouts, tossed salad, homemade cranberry chutney with blueberries this year, wild rice (that was gathered by native Americans in very northern Wisconsin-my friends pick it up for me), grilled turkey tenderloin
My husband loves olives-from the deli I have been picking up a very small container of mixed olives with feta cheese. I decided I can do that-and much less expensive. I left out the cheese but I added canned (in glass jars) mushrooms, hot-sweet peppers, couple different olives-layered and sprinkled in dried Italian spices and then filled the jar with olive oil
I baked a sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie with nut crusts-this one is the pumpkin
I added my Grandma's turkeys-these are really old
and brought out the good china and served this dry red wine (from Aldi) this is a really good tasting wine
And speaking of Outlander I have been seeing some really pretty dragon fly Outlander inspired jewelry in my groups so I took a look in Etsy.
I found this bracelet, fell in love with it and bought it. The artist is in Spain-she must be sending it very slow mail as she said it would take awhile to get to the States.
Larry's sister, her husband and daughter will be over mid day today for pie and perhaps we will tour a large cave in Missouri-Jacobs Cave.
Happy weekend everyone
