Those are absolutely adorable. Now if I could only figure out where to store them. They would make a great addition to my outdoor Xmas scene.
Since Ontario is recommending to stay in your own house for Christmas... I have to figure out how to cook a turkey dinner for two people, where one of them only likes the meat and gravy (and everyone else's mashed potatoes, but never mama's!). Or do something else? I imagine there will be many smaller meals being made this year instead of a big family dinner. Hmm. I'll have to ponder this, I want a special meal but not sure turkey is the best choice.
I was expecting it, and my parents are dropping off Christmas/birthday gifts next week (better get to shoppers this weekend to finish their gift). I have kiddo's birthday coming up soon too, two weeks from today! Thank goodness for online shopping, as long as it all arrives on time. I want things to be special for kiddo, and relaxing for me. At least I don't have to work for two weeks over the holidays

1. Purchase a turkey breast and roast that in the oven. My turkey gets all sliced up before anyone gets to see it. A good sized breast should be good for 2 meals. Last year I didn't think my turkey was big enough so I picked up a breast to round out the quantity. They are more expensive but no waste.Since Ontario is recommending to stay in your own house for Christmas...

I was almost thinking of having a ham this year as my sister is the only one who doesn't like ham and she may or may not be coming to my house for Christmas dinner. It is only 4 at my house and her and my Mom at her house so we will see. We are celebrating American Thanksgiving this weekend with a catered turkey meal so I won't miss out on turkey.Since Ontario is recommending to stay in your own house for Christmas...

I’m not doing turkey this year. I’m not a fan of the big sit down meal anyway. Can’t say I’ll miss it. So this year we plan a really nice brunch for our Christmas Day meal—eggs, sausage, bacon, ambrosia, cinnamon bun cake, fresh fruit.Since Ontario is recommending to stay in your own house for Christmas...

I just checked Staples for the IPad I want and still no stock. Then I checked Apple and they also have no stock unless I have it shipped. So now I’m browsing the Galaxy Tabs. Staples has the one that I think counts for the StB coupon but I’m not certain it’s the right one. Not sure what to do. The Samsung is a fair bit cheaper than the IPad and really DH only watches videos on it...occasionally he FaceTimes people but he could do that on his phone too.
I've always hated poultry, like I couldn't even handle touching it to cook it. I was thrilled to discover I'm actually allergic and can't eat it
this is what I bought at metro last night, cooks from frozen and everyone loves it I toss about 10 lbs of taters in the instant pot, mash them and then they just sit in the pot staying warm. Won't be making that much this year!View attachment 540337
I keep those in the house all the time. They are pretty good and make for a mostly hands free dinner on a busy night if I just throw in baked potatoes and finish with veg and salad. Kids love it.I've always hated poultry, like I couldn't even handle touching it to cook it. I was thrilled to discover I'm actually allergic and can't eat it

This is a great idea..... Ive been thinking the same thing, cook something different maybe. I do have left over ham and turkey in the freezer from Thanksgiving because one kid likes turkey the other ham ahhhh. I was going to throw them into a soup or something.
With Christmas being so different this year maybe our meals should be too. Make some fun out of this mess somehow. I am grateful my daughter moved back home in the spring so we are able to spend time together. Everyone who is missing their family it is heartbreaking..

My daughter said the same thing! Good kids!I have a feeling we will not be getting together for a backyard Christmas Bonfire.
So I am in the midst of planning something else.
Middle son who lives at home said to me this morning *I'd rather skip Christmas one year than to risk losing someone in our family for all Christmases*. Smart son!
I think there will be many drive by drop offs this year.
