Or when you turn around and your husband has opened the cabinet and left the door open...….

I am SOOOOO happy hunting season is back. I also grew up hunting duck, goose and venison. (you have never lived until you come home and found your uncle had pegged his ducks to the outside clothes line). Great that it is cold enough to field dress the deer. Lots of belly rubs to Chum from NJ!! First bear season ended here and now it is bow season for deer.

Poor, baby. I'd feel for you @liuzhou but I can't quite reach.....

this week: cheap bird seed discounted black oil sunflower seed nyjer lactose free milk almond eggnog salad greens tomatoes turkey bacon

bacon and tomato sandwich on rye... now off for Angie's mid day walk

Have had the Cahill's from a cheese store down in West Cape May NJ.

oh, yeah.... I did like the goat cheese with Dalmatian cherry preserves on some toasted dark bread. Not too sweet!

Oh, I'm so, so sorry the fish wasn't better as it looks incredible. I tend to find that here folks do NOT get the fryolater hot enough and I strip the breading off as it is so oil sogged but that looks perfectly crisp.

Using up some stuff from the fridge...scallions into a small bit of fish salad onto a piece of rye bread with a thinly sliced Roma tomato. Just enough and not horribly overwhelming.

NICE. I think Bourdain talked about this when he did a show on Okinawa several years ago. Last night a simple chef's salad with roasted chicken breast.

lasagna

If you have never had WSU's Cougar Gold cheddar it is worth a try. It is my favorite cheddar and don't be put off by the fact it comes in a tin. Bayley Hazen blue. Aged asiago.

If a real friend I bet he/she would let you peruse it over the holiday.

with you there! hot water and baking soda for the duck pans.

Really? Our local Shoprite carries their own brand ….not peeled.

As soon as I finish my computer work 😀I'm going to put together a couple of lasagnas - one for me, one gluten free to hit the freezer for when John gets home from the other side of the world. Then to take Angie out for her noon walk.

Yesterday my fascination with cranberry swirl bread continued with a chicken salad sandwich. Right now there is the Les Halles mushroom soup simmering for today's lunch.

Was listing to the Ty, Kelly and Chuck show this morning and Chuck Wicks called his mom on air to ask her this. She didn't fall for it. And like a good son Chuck is sending her a Trisha Yearwood Thanksgiving dinner from Williams Sonoma.

I made I only half of the recipe and have a bit left. I was thinking about cooking up some elbow macaroni and using the remainder to make a mac and cheese. I even have a bit of a ham steak left so may dice it up and fold it in. All I need then are some smashed up butter crackers to go on top. 😄 Oh, @Ann_T!! That is a magnificent pie. I covet it and would happily have it for breakfast with some really sharp cheddar cheese.

I have no clue what I am going to eat this Thanksgiving. I may just find someplace to volunteer part of the day as I am also dog sitting for one of John's friend.

I do that with oranges … never thought about eggs though!

John's cousin, Debbie, and most of her family are actually gluten allergic. When she hosts the Christmas parade dinner the Saturday after Thanksgiving I showed her how to make beurre manie using a gluten free flour blend. There are several out there that are acceptable.

So...… not feeling like eating much last night had a small salad of smacked cucumbers, some Japanese potato salad I had made for John to try and Ro-tel and Velveeta dip with some corn chips.😶

still NO tater tots....NO hot dish. I am a purist😁

I don't see any tots so NOT hot dish.
