Seeking Thanksgiving






1. Went swimming 

2. Looking at vintage cookbooks 

3. Trying a new eye doctor this Wednesday (I am severely myopic) 

4. Red glasses. One day I may have a pair of blue frames as well 

5. Caffeinated tea with milk.  Was given this new tea by Harney & Sons.  The description sounded incredible. However, it feels like a tea that's very similar to Harney & Sons Victorian London Fog. So I don't know that I will buy this one again.  I'm very picky about my teas.  However, I still enjoyed it.

6.  I boiled noodles, cooked frozen broccoli according to directions. I.E half cup water and cook for 5 minutes. I forgot the timer had turned off and cooked both longer with no problems. I added chicken. I had a chicken gravy about just under one cup. Added some milk to it. Grated some Gouda cheese and basically made a chicken gravy Alfredo sauce.  I added the cut chicken to it stirred it around, turned off the heat and covered it.  And easy meal. 👊

7. Seven plum tort. I always forget that the batter will really cover the entire bottom of my largest cake pan with the removable bottom! I mean I don't forget in the way of not using it, but that I can't believe it'll work and it always does! I should have baked it longer, note to self... 

8. Easy meals for tomorrow 

9. I wish I had gone walking, but sometimes one can't do everything, it's just too hard.  Even though the weather was perfect and tomorrow is back to thunderstorms but I will DV be out on Wednesday...

10. But I am trying to grow and I did work on my writing project throughout the day... 

11. I am dreaming of baking a new sweet bread, based on a vintage recipes but with changes...
