Good morning, friends!
Where is this month going? Hard to believe we are just over a week from Thanksgiving.
Before I talk about this week, I do have to say not much progress was made on last week's projects while Bob was gone. At least not on what I wanted.
I chilled Wednesday, as I usually do the first day I have the house to myself. Thursday, I realized I was missing a couple of spices for the spice mixes. I thought I had them all. So off to the local grocery to hopefully pick them up. They only had one of the three, however, they did have the boneless hams in the brand we prefer on sale Thur/ Fri/ Sat only. I ordered two to be sliced while I went on into Cabool to Sheplers to hopefully pick up the other 2 spices. (they didn't have either one!) Back to pick up the two sliced hams as well as four boneless butterball turkey breasts. They were frozen so we'll thaw them out here at home and Bob can put them on our meat slicer. But we're set for lunch meats for the winter.
We use a lot of the shaved ham around here. Bob makes the best grilled hot ham, egg, cheese sandwiches for breakfast. I also use it on my protein platters for lunch. Along with the ham, I like sliced turkey, a hard boiled egg, cheese sticks cut from the block and cottage cheese. Bob likes to use both meats in wraps.
If you love ham or turkey NOW is the time to buy. They are both at their lowest price between now and Christmas. Otherwise, the next low price will come around in time for Easter. Buying the products you love seasonally will save you the most money.
I finished up the spices on Friday but realized they aren't all going to fit into the cabinet unless I use a stadium riser type of shelving. However, the ones you can buy are not made for the mason jars. I store my spices in 1/4 or 1/2 pint mason jars. So they are currently in canning boxes on the sofa until Bob comes home and we can brainstorm between one of two best solutions.
Saturday and Sunday I wound up with pains in my right thigh. I think from all the steps I did Friday, then pushed through again on Saturday working on the living room corner. So I didn't do much of anything yesterday.
Bob will be home this evening. And so I'm in holding pattern at least for a couple of days yet again.
At least I can still do that living room corner with Bob home.
While I do love naps, I'm determined to spend time cleaning this week. The sewing corner stuff MUST get moved back to their studio home. I haven't told Bob but if I can pull this off, I want a woodsy decor tree for the bedroom. I'll need remote control tree lights though so Bob can easily turn them off when he comes to bed. Oh yeah, and hope Tabby doesn't think she needs to climb the tree LOL
How many trees do you put up and are you putting one in your bedroom?
Be safe, Be prepared, Be Blessed!
