A friend of mine said she would fill the wrappers with vegetables. :)<br /><br />The tea cup candles turned out nicely, didn't they? <br /><br />Yes; Thanksgiving week is one of the few times when one can take 3 days of time off and get the whole week! :) I used to do the same when I was working! I'd book that week off, months in advance!<br />Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-90758122364929143302021-11-26T04:12:04.411-08:002021-11-26T04:12:04.411-08:00When I first saw your little curry bites, they loo...When I first saw your little curry bites, they looked as if they were sweet with the ketchup being cherries. lol<br />That was a good idea to use up the wrappers.<br /><br />The tea cup candles came out very pretty and will be a nice gift to have on hand for the holidays.<br /><br />Your daughter has managed a nice block of vacation time using just a few of her vacation days. 56stepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714155300369089630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-24524141819114047892021-11-23T13:31:12.845-08:002021-11-23T13:31:12.845-08:00Thank you, Eileen; time spent together is very pre...Thank you, Eileen; time spent together is very precious. I'm going to miss her when she goes back up north (she lives in Berkeley, near San Francisco, which is about 400 miles from where I am) once her office opens for staff to work in person. Enjoy your meal out, tomorrow; that pavlova for dessert sounds delicious! :) Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-45375699835202319802021-11-23T13:17:34.871-08:002021-11-23T13:17:34.871-08:00Salmon is a treat at our house!

I think I stuffed a turkey only once - it was a cornbread stuffing that I made from scratch, baking my own cornbread and making my own stock, etc. Afterwards, I wished I had just kept the cornbread to go as a side dish! :D Maybe I'd like a rice stuffing, better. :) I remember you saying your son prepared the Thanksgiving turkey, but, Christmas is not that far away!

Didn't mean to make you feel hungry! :D According to my daughter, shirataki noodles, which are made with a type of non-wheat flour, are very low calorie. :)<br /><br />Sounds like you have your day nicely planned. I had to smile at your "funeral marches instead of dances"! That's how I play, too! :D 4C is very cold! We are at 73F, today (22C?). Wish I could send you some of that warmth. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-30587089775055101622021-11-23T13:06:23.499-08:002021-11-23T13:06:23.499-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-64921203560164965232021-11-23T12:46:03.716-08:002021-11-23T12:46:03.716-08:00The tea cup candles look really good now.

We will be eating out tomorrow and I have already decided I will have the turkey mains with pavlova for dessert.Eileen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05755260410513572943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-67119311828227752912021-11-23T09:10:23.791-08:002021-11-23T09:10:23.791-08:00My brother-in-law is serving salmon instead of tur...My brother-in-law is serving salmon instead of turkey for their Thanksgiving dinner, too. :)Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-19287359019504350772021-11-23T07:16:09.261-08:002021-11-23T07:16:09.261-08:00I like your Wonton.cup experiment, I'm sure yo...I like your Wonton.cup experiment, I'm sure you will make them again. I love stuffing but I am thinking to cook it separately and do as you did with a cut up lemon inside the turkey. But it won't be this week, we had our Thanksgiving back in October and our son cooked the dinner. Our next turkey will be at Christmas!

I do like the look of the noodle dish so will be attempting something similar once I've been shopping. <br /><br />I'm focusing on piano practice today, before my lesson tomorrow. I'm trying to increase the tempo without ruining accuracy of notes - at the moment they both sound like funeral marches instead of dances! In between bouts of practice I plan to cuddle up under a blanket and read. It's only 4C at the moment and I'm feeling really chilled after my walk.Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.com
