We’re using the cooker-smoker to barbecue chicken and roast corn for a…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** We’re on the Fifth Day of Turkey………….(left-overs)….. I can’t complain….. It’s still nummy yummy good….. All it takes is nuking a plateful…and you’ve got a complete/balanced/nutritious dinner….. …..(I don’t recommend microwaving the canned cranberry sauce though…it doesn’t come out looking the same…more like pock-marked grout)….. But we are currently on the fifth day of turkey consumption…(with more on the horizon)….. It’s what’s for dinner…(again)….. …..there’s gotta be a song for that….. …..oh, wait………

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** In a previous post (***Disappointed Poultry***) I mentioned being “distracted” by Irish Wolfhounds in season….. At this point…we’re all very experienced at keeping the appropriate Wolfhounds separate from each other…at the appropriate times….. I just don’t want any pending litters of puppies during the up-coming time of year when I can actually go outside and ride….. I’ll plan a litter in six months…that would mean puppies in late spring…. …..but cool weather is around…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* CLICK HERE***Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel*** It’s not one of the coldest days….. …..but it’s that damp kind of cold that just seeps right into your joints and settles there….. …..the type that makes a shiver snake up and down your spine the entire day….. Maybe it’s because the clothes that you buy in Florida look like winter clothes, but aren’t actually warm like real northern winter…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* CLICK HERE***Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel*** Patrices come…..and Patrices go….. This has been a really tough year for Patrices….. …..actually the various Patrices and I have been under my older daughter’s judgy-eye and close scrutiny….. She has literally snagged them out of my dirty clothes hamper…..(when I may have been less than obliging at handing over a particularly old/patched pair)….. …..or run me down to shed (shred)…

*****Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel***** I was recently cleaning my kitchen….. …..(a novelty in & of itself)….. The bookshelf of cookbooks took more than a day all by itself….. I come from a family of bakers….. …..there are more than three generations of recipes and books that are on those shelves….. …..I especially enjoyed un-crinkling and looking at some of the old newspaper recipes that had been torn out of papers…..circa the 1950’s and…
