 Able to post here--dinner is going to be cube steak with mushrooms in gravy, mashed potatoes and fried green tomatoes  not sure able the sweet as yet maybe sliced peaches.

 Got up this morning at 5am and baked a couple loaves of bread. I purchased bread this past week and had not realized how expensive good read is, I paid nearly $5 for one loaf of bread. That was enough for me, it was good, but I like the homemade stuff.

Tonight we are having grilled sweet Italian sausages with peppers and onions on sub buns.

      Last week our Son sent a box of frozen from Montgomery Inn, we are having them for dinner tonight along with a salad, the ribs are cooked, just need to be thawed and heated through with the sauce---good old counter top oven! The box also included 2 kinds of ice cream for desert, I am not an ice cream person, but it sounds good today.

 Since I am baking cookies today I decided to bake a couple taco shells and make taco salads for dinner, and we will have chocolate chip cookies for later.

For dinner tonight we are going to have tacos, a good day for something hot and spicy. Pie or brownies for later.

Tonight we had our Thansgiving dinner. Anyone that knows me knows how much I love Thankagiving, like a lot of cooks I spend several days getiing ready for the meal I will be serving and this year was no exception. Everthing went according to plan and when the turkeywas done,it looked like a picture, but I noticed there was hardly no drippings in the roaster, which was not a big deal because I was not making gravey, I put everything on the table and when it came time to carve the turkey I tasted a bit of it and knew there was a problem, it has a very odd taste and when cut the texture was not right as well. With all the ptoblems with poultry that has been in the news lately, we threw it in the trash. We had our side dishes for dinner. Since there were plenty of left overs, I made a roasted chicken for dinner and reheated the side dishes.  The turkey that we purchased was a well know brand that we have used for many years. I have roasted many turkeys in the last 60 years and have never has a bad one until now.  Be that as it may, we still had much to be thankful for.

This morning I made a large pot of veggie soup, baked 2 loaves of bread and a shell for a chocolate pie--- guess what we had for dinner? Pie a bit later.

Been busy getting things back in order, new fridge delivered today. We had a late breakfast so I think tonight we are having Cobb salads for dinner, one of Hubby's favorites, no dessert tonight, I hope to get something baked tomorrow.
