More good things - Day 22
Half day of work
Tastings at the local gourmet market which ended in my one splurge of fancy for Thanksgiving dinner: a slab of brie, cracked pepper table water crackers and a jar of (spendy but wow!) walnuts in lemon honey to pour over the top of the softened brie. Yeah. Mmmm.
Blue icicle lights for the front of the house-on sale at Tar-jay.
Unexpectedly finding most of the things for my stocking exchange with Cheril, all perfect and well priced.
Not having to cook and clean for this holiday dinner, just make a salad, some garlic broccoli and a roasted beets and fennel dish. Oh, and bread. And wine.
The sun.

Happy turkey day. I’m drooling thinking about that brie. And honey and mmmmm.
Also, I’m blogging at a new place now

I love all things lemon! My splurge was freshly-shucked oysters to make a stuffing I loved as a kid. No one else is able to eat it here dure to allergies.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m totally intrigued by the walnuts in lemon honey…I’ve never seen anything like that. It sounds pretty darn good. In fact, I shouldn’t be reading your blog when I’m so damn hungry.
