I made the first trip to a new grocery store, Fred Meyer. Went up and down the aisles to see what’s up with them. Got a member card. My wallet is loaded with new cards for new and exotic places. Got cat treats and I decided I’m going to make butterscotch pudding for Thanksgiving, because I really like it. Thinking of putting it in a pie crust. ( Read more... )

I’m emptying everything in the freezer and consuming it. Including last year’s cranberries. I made a cranberry crumble. That was too many cranberries. Altogether too many. Needed pears or something to offset it ( Read more... )

10 - Shift10 Day: SHIFT10 Day was created to encourage shoppers to shift 10% of their spending into their local economies to support local businesses, farmers' markets, and other alternatives to big box stores. Do you try to shop locally as much as possible or do the ease and convenience of big box stores and online juggernauts like Amazon win out ( Read more... )
