Happy Thanksgiving!
This year’s turkey was THE best of them all. It was a 21 pounder.
I’ve been baking Turkeys for 5-6 years now. I usually bake 15 lb turkeys. But this year, I went for a bigger bird for bigger fun. As usual, I was home alone and ate alone. I was invited to a family gathering about 70 miles away. But I politely declined so I can enjoy being home alone. There is nothing like being at home – even if I live alone.
I am not a bad son. In fact, I am a good son. I see my parents almost every weekend. So, my parents do not miss me for Thanksgiving much. I will see them in 2 days, and we will share Thanksgiving stories.
My turkey came out real nice. I didn’t follow any recipe. I seasoned the turkey from my experience (memory). I used orange, lemon, sage, & rosemary growing in my front yard. I watched TV, drank coffee, and relaxed. It was a good time.
Happy Thanksgiving.
I am glad I bought that turkey rack from Costco last year
From Costco: Turkey, turkey rack, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, gravy
It was a big shopping day. I spent $188.
I bought a 21lb turkey and some fancy side dishes for Thanksgiving Day. I also bought 3 cans of Christmas cookies and a jar of Chocolates of the World.
Here are a few items that didn’t make it to my blog last month (October 2014 purchases)
I recently lost 1 inch on my waist, from 31 inches to 30. So, I bought 2 Costco belts (1 black, 1 brown) to celebrate my new look. They were about $18 each. They are good quality belts, much better than stupid Calvin Klein bents I bought 5 years ago.
Security night was something I needed. I still need to install them. They have mixed reviews. I hope mine will work fine. It was super cheap after a $10 instant rebate. ($39 ?).
I like this turkey jerky.
Nothing exciting… I am still doing pretty good saving money.
I bought a pair of sweatpants for the Winter.. ($19.99)
I always keep 9V batteries at home. I need 9V batteries once in a while. When I do, I need them desperately. I have a bunch of rechargeable batteries (AA, AAA, & 9v), but there are places for regular alkaline batteries.
Lamb shanks are my weekend treat. They better be good. .
I’ve been doing good refraining myself from buying expensive toys. I think I have everything I want. I live below my means. I would like a convertible. But I’m in no hurry about that.
P.S. I didn’t like the lamb shank. To me, there was no taste, and the meat was not tender. I guess some people might like it. And, I bought a convertible 5 years after this blog post.
