rambling

Thanksgiving was yummy. Still have lots of leftovers (we cooked 2 turkeys, 2 breasts and 10 lbs of potatoes for 6 people... we love turkey) that will hit the freezer today or tomorrow. Little pockets of yumminess for the cold winter to come.

Speaking of winter, we had our first snows of the season over the weekend. Just enough to leave the landscape fresh and clean, but not enough to require snowplows. Perfect. More snow scheduled for tomorrow...

Ate a yummy veggie muffaletta on Sunday when I took bakery-owner-wannabe daughter back to college. She took me to her favorite lunch place (my treat of course). She had an incredible grilled cheese that had fresh basil and basil pesto and a bunch of other wonderful stuff on some incredible bread. Bread definitely is the most important piece of a grilled cheese. No combination of wonderful ingredients can be good without a great base to put it on.

Only son went hunting for ducks on Sunday. He shot one but through a series of unfortunate events gave it to one of his hunting buddies. Duck in the turkey fryer would have been interesting.

Last summer (June 27 to be exact) we refiled our 2006 income taxes, as we claimed a cash gift we received as income when we shouldn't have. We even listed it as a cash gift when we originally filed. But the IRS didn't have the decency to tell us. So once we found out we refiled, and the check finally arrived yesterday. Now I should be able to pay my Christmas bills.

Another basketball game to watch tonight for basketball daughter. Thinking good shooting and rebounding thoughts her way.
