Good day everyone! Sorry for the sporadic posts lately. This is, and has been, a busy week for me.

I should be back to my normal level of mediocrity in a few days time. 😉

Happy Thursday to you Terry! I have nothing against packaged stuffing but I always make it from scratch when I can. I guess it's technically dressing, since I cook it outside the bird, but it's full of sausage and chestnuts so it's pretty tasty. 😋

I'd rather not.

Good morning everyone! It's going to be a busy day today. Canadian Thanksgiving is on Monday, so today I am making preparations. Honestly, I am glad for the distraction.

I wish everyone a great day today! 🙏😊
