Some Random Thoughts

Here's the random garbage cluttering up my usually honed, nimble mind (ha!!)

- I have no menu plan for Thanksgiving.  It's just the 4 of us, but I'm a self-proclaimed cook, and I should at least have a PLAN.  I also have no plan for dinner Saturday night, when brand new dinner guests are coming over. 

- The sweet potato casserole recipe I do have for Thanksgiving is one I cannot possibly make.  It serves "four", but calls for a POUND of butter.  Speaking of pounds....the chef that wrote this recipe is probably pushing 400.

- The smell of a self-cleaning oven hitting its stride is awful.  I should have started this task before dinner, when I severely over indulged on cornbread.  And an open bottle of Malbec.

- Marie Callendar's complete cornbread mix, available at Costco, is amazing stuff.  I may have found a new crack bread.  Sister Shubert's was my previous crack bread.

- Speaking of Costco, I cut myself off from it midway through the month.  My monthly Costco tally is concerning.  This is stressing me out.  If I let this stretch out for too long, my next trip is going to cost me $200, and I will come home with 2 things I need and 10 things I "sampled".

See?  Random garbage.
