Oh, I stayed up till the end. How disappointing. They have been on a winning streak. Hoping things turn around next week.

The green bean casserole with mushroom soup and crispy onions has always shown up on Thanksgiving. Either I made it or someone bought it. I always made a big bowl of fresh steamed green beans and those always were eaten. I do not like the casserole or the sweet potatoes with too much sugar and marshmallows but always had them with Thanksgiving dinner for the people who enjoy them.

Your pictures are wonderful. Your food always looks like a magazine spread.

That green bean recipe looks good. Who doesn't like bacon.
I can't believe the Steelers lost last night. We watch some of the game and then fell asleep. I thought for sure they would win, but then again Buffalo beat Kansas City the other day.

Awe your pup needs something good to chew on. Some dogs get bored and like to chew on things. My German Shepherd sometimes likes to chew on elk antlers keeps her busy for hours.

Good morning all and Happy Friday,
I'm excited for the weekend. Mostly, I don't have much planned. I am looking forward to the free time to do month end accounting. I need to put together a business plan for next year.
Tonight, I'm taking Paula to the orchestra and we have a whole box reserved dead center.
QOTD- definitely green bean casserole groupies. We still have it every couple holidays.
Exercise has been non existent but I'm able to do stretching and upper body. Body is in so much person from the bone biopsy still.
B: Yogurt and energy drink.
L: salmon collar. Citrus yuzu vinaigrette on greens.
D; Happy hour somewhere downtown
Pics Great joy observed at a birth in the hospital, my dog hates music, apparently.

Good morning Jen and Meneurs,
I love the meme this morning. I have no****ched Despicable Me 4 yet. I do see it is on one of the streaming services I own so may try to get it in as the holiday preparation begins. I decided I am going to serve City chicken and Perogies for the Steeler game next Sunday. I wanted to do something more fun for my birthday but being it is at the end of a holiday weekend it did not work out like I wanted. I'll cook and have friends for the game. I hope to hit the gym for a cycle and crazy 8 class tomorrow. The gym has been busy lately so I may not get in. There is a limit on how many each class can accommodate. She only has 20 bikes.
QOTD: I prefer Arkansas-green-beans over the traditional green bean and mushroom soup. However, I am going with the soup recipe this year. Mom loves them and who know how many thanksgivings she has left.
Accountability: I was hankering for a PB&J so I went with 1 piece of toasted Keto bread instead of 2 slices. It killed my craving I am grateful.
TSS: 6 years 11-months 11-days 168 Lowest (129.4)
B: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer
MS: snack select, L&F toasted Marshmallow Greek yogurt, pear
CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer
L: white chicken chili, Clementines
D: TBD. We have not gone to Texas Roadhouse lately so maybe there. I have hit a couple lottery tickets, so I think I want to enjoy a meal without being the one to prepare it. Especially with all the food prep I need to get done having two days of guest next weekend.
Exercise: Dog walking (Rudy was not a fan of the snow this morning)
Water and Vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and 500mg of Magnesium. I also use MiraLAX and fiber in my first coffee of the day.
Have a great weekend my friends.
Brightest blessings
Chrissy
These are from last weekend.

Good morning, everybody!
I spoke too soon yesterday, we ended up getting about 4 inches of snow in the city and 2 in the burbs. No problem with the trains though.
Ever since I signed up for Masters Swimming in October, I?ve known that the morning was going to come when I had to scrape ice off of my windshield, in the dark, at 5:30 AM and then jump into a cold pool. I thought today would be the day but it warmed up a bit and I didn?t need to do it.
They have a German Christmas Market in downtown Chicago that opens today. I think that I will go down today for Pierogies and a beer at lunchtime. Hopefully sauerkraut or potato with sour cream.
Hopefully Chrissy has more pictures from last weekend, but I have one of the ladies at dinner.
QOTD: I?m in the minority, but I love green bean casserole!
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: Pierogies
Dinner: Steak

Yes, I am thankful for the 80%! The nerve pain can be so tricky so I'm really just going to have to get used to the tiredness.
the proferrin wasn't good for my tummy. I am one of the odd people that it does it seems. I am trying a patch but it is irritating my skin a bit. Getting a bit older it seems my body has decided to be allergic to a lot of crap lol.
my aunt once made this cake, it was supposed to be a Black Forest cake. I imagine just about anything tasted better than that. To this day it is the nastiest thing I've tasted. She always experimented with stuff for major holidays. Then if no one ate it she'd throw a pissy fit. She also did the stuffing once that was god awful, it had dried blueberries and raisins. Just eww:
I did giggle a little about your uncle's late wife and the disgustingly nasty GBC. Some people just can't even boil water right. Who in their right mind would add cranberries to that dish? I agree with you about preferring fresh stuff. The crap they put in canned stuff we all know is just not good for us.
Did you ever get the Proferrin? I know a few months back you talked about wanting to get a bottle to try to see if it helped with your iron and you being tired. At least the lyrica is helping 80% of time better than not helping at all.
