I started this but got sidetracked so here’s an updated version.
The week ahead looks sunny but not very warm. I think the highs are only around 60 degrees. Still, it’s such a pretty time of year. Barclay loved this time around Thanksgiving when all our oak trees turn golden and the light is filtered. I miss sharing it with him. I suppose that’s one of the hard things that he’s not here to share little tidbits with. 😦
The day was so pretty out. I went into the Auburn gym and did my usual 30 minutes. I also went to the park and walked, although more slowly, and my foot did ok. I only walked 15 minutes and wasn’t limping, so that was good. I did ice it later in the day just for safe measures. Hopefully, my Merrills will show up tomorrow. My foot is a little sore this morning, but not terribly. Maybe a 3 on a pain scale.
I then popped into Safeway for a few random items: celery, carrots, whipped cream, and? I checked out their turkeys, figuring if the deal was good, I’d get one for the freezer. But I didn’t see any sales, or at least where I was looking. The prices seemed pretty high to me.
Today, my daughter and I are going down to Costco, which is probably crazy, but I need her to get 2 cases of water. I can’t lift their cases, so that’s the reason. Plus, I figured, while I’m there, get a wreath for the door.
Menu Plan for the week:
Last night we had hot dogs, sauerkraut, beans, and macaroni salad.
Monday- I might try the nut loaf piece I made to see how it cooks up ,with some instant mashed potatoes.
Tuesday- beans in the crock pot,tortillas,
Wednesday- Maybe breakfast for dinner, pancakes, scrambled eggs.
Thursday- we’ll eat dinner @ 1pm. Organic Diestel Turkey breast, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, green beans, plus the nut loaf and gravy. I usually do an olive plate, but I think I’ll skip that. No one really eats it except me:) or B .
Friday- Leftovers or eat what you want.
Saturday- chicken of some sort and baked potatoes.
Do you have a traditional Thanksgiving or something unusual? I’d love to try, next year, something totally different. B and I always thought we’d go away at Thanksgiving, but then I’d feel bad for the kids. But they have their own stuff now, so?

We will have steak, the family tradition. My mother hated turkey, and refused to cook it and couldn’t even abide the smell (she grew up on a poultry farm, and the birds got them fed thru the depression.) I hope you and your kids have a good thanksgiving!
Steak sounds good!! I’m not very good at cooking it though; it’s always a bit overdone. B was a vegetarian, so that’s why we always did the nut loaf too. I hope it’s a good one for you as well.
