My kiddo made me laugh so hard. He took a bite of the pasta and said, “Hey, this tastes JUST like my mom’s mac and cheese!” Thanks buddy…your mom made it :joy:

It is better to view the maddening crowds at the airport from afar! Let us know how the CC book is. I have an older one that may need updating.

I miss Sizzler.

Good news, much to be thankful for!

Yes… she is eating and sleeping with no problems nor issues. Sunshine is a little bored, but the doctor wants her to stay home until Dec. 15th. (I guess this is to avoid exposure to other individuals and possible infection??)

Yesterday was a special 1/2 price day at Goodwill (everything on sale), so I picked up a bunch of movies on DVD for her to watch. At 1/2 price they are only 65 cents (each), so that will provide some entertainment, as she likes movies.

She also has some books to read, so at this point – the only problem is she is a little bored.

Woks of Life Shanghai-style braised pork belly I made Sunday, over broken rice, and BF’s cuke salad. I doctored up the WOL recipe by adding more sugar, more soy/dark soy, a little salt, and three Thai red chili peppers split in half. Really tasty.

Ummm…I eat in front of the TV on the coffee table all the time, and I’m a civilized person! Well, except when I’m not. :wink::grin:

The bane of anyone cleaning out their parents’ or grandparents’ kitchens.

Or someone who doesn’t cook the way you do. :grin:

An utterly disgusting cloudy & wet day — the only bright aspect of which was finding an excellent new PCP for my PIC and me! :partying_face:

We also made our final :turkey: Day shopping run to the liquor store & the supermarket (3 fat fennel bulbs & gorgonzola for my salad), where a couple of grown-ass women were throwing an absolute hissy fit at the deli. Not sure what that was all about, as we were too far away, had shopping to do & don’t care for drama. The only thing that could’ve made them look any more childish is if one of them had started stomping their feet. Yikes! :scream:

I can only assume pre-holiday jitters have peeps on edge, but who knows :woman_shrugging: Yet another reason I’m so grateful for a stress & drama-free holiday with my darling & just a couple of good friends :blush:

My PIC had forgotten to grab whole milk for his Biscoff ice cream, so we returned to the local dairy, and I grabbed a gallon of Cretan olive oil at the Turkish store for the fasoulakia* I decided to start today, which is my other contribution for our Friendsgiving dinner.

As for WFD tonight, my sweets made cheeborgerz with Wegmans chuck & brisket burgers topped with ultra-sharp ‘murrcan & Havarti,

plus L&W pommes rot-weiß. Yumbowski! Shared a Mexicoke to go with, as ever.

*I did NOT use the entire gallon, despite it being a lathera dish :wink: , but there’s probz at least 1/3 of a cup in there, along with TPSTOG & one onion, lotsa Greek oregano, tomato paste & crushed tomatoes. Tastes lovely already & should be even better on Thursday.
