on Saturday my neighbours gave me a bagful of tomatoes;-)…

since then I’ve used them sliced and in a tomato, cucumber, bocconcini, cilantro and balsamic salad…

then there was a delicious toasted tomato sandwich which reminded me of the wonderful ones that my beloved made… it took me the longest time to figure out one of the reasons they were so delicious was the huge amount of miracle whip he put on them;-)…

today I finished them up with a day-long tomato sauce with spaghetti and a chicken leg and thigh…

what a great treat…

today, I got dressed, lol… I know that is a big deal for me and a lot of you, I’ll bet… not having to worry about anyone coming to the door makes pjs perfectly acceptable all day…

in the morning I cooked spaghetti and let it cool down so that the sugars would fly through my system when I warm it up…

looked in the fridge and found part of a jar of spaghetti sauce which I used as a base for my sauce…

the addition of spices, A1, ketchup, and soy sauce, with time to mingle together, makes for a tasty addition to the spaghetti… also added some frozen meatballs to get in the required protein… smelled lovely as it was simmering…

while that was cooking, I went out and shovelled between the front steps and the driveway… snow seemed heavier than in the backyard yesterday, lol… and my back is not so happy just now;-(…

my shovelers came by this morning and did the driveway and sidewalk (but not the connecting area)… very happy they were able to get that done as it needs to be clear for the mail carrier… and Tuesday my grocery order should arrive as well…

supper was tasty and there is enough sauce and spaghetti for two more meals… yay…

seemed like a full day;-)…

stuffing…

my family loves the stuffing that I make…

it is a simple recipe… butter, onions, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, water and torn up bread…

while the butter was melting I used the mandolin to dice up the onion… while they cooked I added the poultry seasoning, salt and pepper… once the onions were soft I added in the water and let it simmer for a few minutes…

once the liquid is poured over the bread, I stir it in… then I put it into the bread bags and it goes into the fridge…

I make a lot because it is so popular, lol…

some goes into the turkey, some goes into muffin pans, and if there is any left it will go into a casserole dish with the turkey neck, or some other poultry part…

the kids really like the stuffing muffins;-)…

I made it today so there is less to do on Monday for dinner…

also made fresh cranberry sauce…

some of the family prefer the kind that comes in a can so I have that available as well…

really enjoy getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner… reminds me of all the times that my beloved and I prepared for special meals…
