Orders

 We still have some leftovers and are enjoying them immensely. I never made a pie, but we will soon. I have pumpkin and pecan pie in mind. I will call neighbor and see if he eats either and deliver some of both if he eats those pies. 

Today, I received several orders from Amazon. My boombox in the bedroom will no longer play my cd. Everything else works! The one in living room no longer has the cord or remote. Remote does not matter. At any rate, I now have another to listen to radio station with Christmas music. 

Plus, I ordered silicone lids for Oui. Tommy loves these little storage glasses. He puts everything in them. I rarely buy Oui, but we still have quite a few.  A friend gave me a blender for smoothies. Somehow, I lost the electric motor blender part. So, I bought another. The whole thing is gone! So, I ordered a Magic Bullet Blender and this one will stay here and together. Tommy and one cleaner have been tasked with keeping an eye out and doing a one-time search. I might misplace something temporarily, but never lost anything, seemingly for good. 

All these things were bought on Black Friday deals. It was money I had to spend. There were frivolous things I deigned not to buy. My much-needed wool blanket and a grounding mat are yet to arrive. The ellipse is so heavy, but we must tackle unpacking and setting it up. 

I am not sure what happened to the turkey breast I cooked several weeks ago and froze. It was watery. It was as if I had soaked it in water and then froze and thawed. The piece we ate after it was cooked was really a nice texture. After freezing and thawing as I do other poultry, this just was wet, not juicy, just wet. Have you ever frozen baked turkey and had it end up wet? Water pours out with each cut of knife and bite.

The night before Thanksgiving sleeping was difficult. The night after Thanksgiving sleep was almost impossible. Hopefully, it will be easier tonight. 

The salesman who came for bathroom remodel left us with a price--over $31,000. Gulp! We have two other companies to contact for an appointment. I love the bathroom I got to design. 

I am ready to put my reindeer in the yard. Halloween and Thanksgiving are still evident! I need help. I also need a new cleaner.

  1. have you frozen a cooked turkey breast before? I feel like it was the freezing that caused the watery texture. Disappointing.
    Enjoy your new purchases!

    1. kylie,
      Yes, I have frozen cooked turkey breasts many times before. That is why I am baffled.

  2. I’ve ordered a few things too and am looking forward to getting the packages soon. I’ve lost items like that too, which is so frustrating! I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving. I’m not crazy about turkey, but we had a turkey breast.

    1. Belinda,
      It is not like the smoothie makers are so small or easy to lose or even just misplace. Frustrating. A turkey breast is so much easier to handle for us. Our food was great.

    1. Ur-spo,
      This won't be my first. Every year since 1967, I have made quite a few each year. Pecan pie is equally foolproof. Use the recipe on the Karo jar.

Okay, hoping the annoyances have gone away.
