My son can cook!

      Last night, dinner was on Skylar! I needed to hold a flashlight outside for his Dad, so dinner was going to be delayed. Unless Skylar wanted to hold the flashlight! He had a choice; cook dinner or hold the flashlight. He chose to cook without any hesitation! It was a simple meal: chicken Alfredo. First, he seasoned the chicken with some spices and a little hot sauce, then he sauteed it. I put the water on for the fettuccine, since it takes a while to come to a boil. After the chicken was done, he removed it to a cutting board where it was cut in small pieces. Next, he made the alfredo sauce, using garlic, butter, milk, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Everything turned out delicious! He did a great job! I liked the Alfredo sauce OK, but I prefer it without the cream cheese. They both loved it that way! I am so glad that he has been in the kitchen enough that he can follow a recipe! I know if he is ever out on his own and gets hungry enough, he can survive!

      We are transitioning from Thanksgiving to Christmas! All the boxes are out and the tree is getting decorated. It won't seem like that long and we'll be taking it down! Oh well, we'll enjoy it while we can! Our temps have been so mild during the day that I've spent a lot of time outside raking and bagging leaves. These will be such good mulch for the garden! Plus, it gives me exercise and a chance to be in the sun and breath fresh air! I also broke down some boxes and put in the paths between the garden beds. I need a lot more boxes to finish!

      I was hoping to get some KuneKune pigs for Christmas, but we just don't have the right space to keep them. I saw them for sale on Craigslist. I am so disappointed! I really thought they were different from other pigs, but they are basically the same. Maybe one day I'll have acreage enough to have all the animals I want! What do you want for Christmas? I'll have to think about it some more. Hope ya'll have a wonderful weekend! Blessings from Bama! Roll Tide!

Skylar cooking chicken Alfredo!

I was so glad to get the pecans shelled and chopped! The five pounds turned into eight, one cup bags. I used two cups for roasting, and the rest went in the freezer.

The deal I got at Aldi: four bags of cranberries @ .49 a bag. I also got celery for .19. Do you put all of your eggs in one basket?

I decided to dehydrate the cranberries. They smell so good in here!
