Monday's Menu

Happy Monday. Sorry I'm late to party. I woke up yesterday feeling like absolute crap. My stomach hurt most of the day and it even caused me to dry heave a few times. I have no idea why as I didn't eat anything out of the ordinary. I feel better, but not 100%.

I just had to block Ava due to so not so nice things she was saying about a few posters on the daily menu thread, and I also reported her to admin. While I am not one to block people I will be dam if she's going to put any of you down when we all know she's the problem.

I will do the best I can to start the thread M-F as I know both QJB and Amy are busy with things.

Anyways besides the weird not feeling good yesterday I got a few more little things done in the house on Saturday and missed the Tyson/Paul fight Friday. We both crashed on the couch and forgot abou****ching it. LOL

QOTD: With holidays coming into full swing which one is your favorite between Thanksgiving and Christmas? I like them both, but Christmas and getting to see the grandkids open their gifts and the smile on their faces makes it the better of the two.

B: coffee and protein shake

L: chicken soup

D: baked chicken thighs with kale and bacon

Have a great day everyone.

I blocked Ava so did not know she had been posting. She has a lot of problems. Sometimes I get nausea like that due to sinus starting to act up. Hope yours is better soon.

I got a lot accomplished last week with cleaning and organizing and my ToDo list is finished for a while. Great feeling to cross so many things off and see everything done.

I bought a bag of Brach's Christmas nougats last week. Was going to save for Christmas, but opened the bag and in a few days I had eaten all of them. I will not be buying those again.

Christmas is wonderful. Our family has our big get together on Christmas Eve. It used to be at my house but now we rent a place because it is more than 50 people. It is a log cabin that was the original schoolhouse in our city. It has been restored with modern heat and plumbing. There will be a fire in the fireplace and one of my brothers will be Santa.

This is him playing Santa last Christmas with my great nephew Carter.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning peeps. We're pretty much getting ready for the hordes on Thanksgiving. JB decided to get a new oven -- a double oven. And of course a new over the range microwave to go with it. They both require that the wiring, outlets, ducting, brackets, etc. get moved. So I'm doing all of that. I'm not exactly sure how "Let's have Thanksgiving here" turns into opening walls and running wires -- but it does.

Thanksgiving and Christmas are about the same these days. For me, anyway. It's family, friends, getting together. I'm not really religious, so I don't have that part of it involved.

When I entertained a lot I had a stove with double oven. JB will love it, especially on holidays.
