Having Troubles with Thanksgiving menu?




I ventured on a site while searching for Thanksgiving day menu. As I like to add new items with my traditional items for Thanksgiving meal.
This gives me family and friends new options they have not tried before. Plus, the traditional items for those who are afraid to try something new.
I found the "The Thanksgiving-erator". It allows you to select different options. At the end a recipe will pop up.
After my selection. The recipe for "Sous Vide Turkey" came up. I have never heard of this dish before. Have you?
It seems to be main dish with five ingredients. That's it. It has a picture which looks to be a soup. I think I will keep this recipe to try with left over turkey after Thanksgiving.

Things I am thankful for Nov 12th

I am thankful I can make a little bit of money while writing about our thoughts and dreams.
I am thankful we get paid through Paypal. I am very thankful for Paypal. As I was able to order my daughter a coat and my teen son a winter jacket. I was also able to order my boyfriend a leather golf hat to keep his bald head warm this winter.
I thankful for finding the websites through Facebook ads.
I am thankful that after everything I ordered. I was given free shipping.
I am thankful everything I ordered was at a large discount. I really can not complain for what I am paying. One status order says shipped. The other says pending but the order has been paid already. Not sure what it is waiting on.
Have you ordered anything online? How long do the items usually take to come in?

Nov. 11th - Things I thankful for



I am continuing with writing a post about what i am thankful each day through out the month of November. As this is the month my country, the USA celebrates Thanksgiving.
Today I am thankful for the deer meat a friend gave my family. As I am making chili with deer meat for dinner in the crockpot.
I am thankful God has created animals meant for humans to hunt and are able to eat. I am a meat eater. Most times I eat birds. Rarely do I eat cow or pig.
I am thankful dinner last night was awesome at the Chinese place at the food court in the mall. It was a joint decision. My daughter behaved yesterday. There was no arguments at all between any of us. I am thankful my daughter was listening.
I am thankful my boyfriend was able to get another running vehicle. It looks pretty good. I know he will use it on his business trips. Otherwise it will be mine to drive. Now to start making all those much needed doctors and therapy appointments again. My daughter really needs new glasses. Hers are being held by tape. At least the tape is colorful and has different designs.
I know my family and I are blessed. What are you thankful for today? Photo found on Pixabay.com during a search for the word "thankful".

Nov 7th - Things I Am Thankful For


Some of the many things I am thankful are the pets I have or had. I have numerous pets in my care over the years of different types ands breeds.
When I was growing up my family owned a farm that had all types of animals. I am very thankful for the experience with the animals that made my heart grow. I learned early on how compassionate animals can be.
I am thankful for Henrietta, who was the family pet chicken. She was the only chicken who would allow my sisters and I to pick up her chicks without peaking us in the knees.
I am thankful for the first dog I can remember, Hobo. He was a lab all black. My sisters and I did everything with
this dog. To the point my younger sister would sit and feed this dog with her spoon. I think she might of been three years old when she fed Hobo with a spoon.
I now am owned by three beautiful male dogs.
Moose, the Chug, whom is the eldest. I am his human. He always keeps my lap warm and alerts me if anyone is in the yard or near it.
Buster, the English Mastiff, is second in line. He is barely over a year old. He is at the age where he is trying to show his dominance to Moose. Moose is not willing to give it up so easily.
The last and youngest is Rascal, the Chihuahua mix. I know his momma is a chihuahua that runs loose. So, we knows what he is mixed with. He is so tiny compared the rest of the dogs. He loves to travel and meet new people. The ladies always seem to fall in love with him.
Do you have any animals?
Ever had a pet chicken?
What are you thankful for today?

Nov 6th - Things I am Thankful


I got so busy yesterday I forgot to write my post about what I am thankful for. Shame on me. I am trying to write one every day of this month. I will try harder.
I am thankful I have Bubblews to share my writings and earn on.
I am thankful I am a member of Chat About where I can earn Amazon bucks or Paypal. They recently changed their point system back to 500 points for $5 Amazon instead of 1000 points for $5 Amazon.
I am thankful for another forum I can make $20 a month for talking about candy. It was something I was selected to do.
I am thankful for a survey site I joined many years ago. It has accepted new members in over two years. However, the surveys are short and I get several a month. It makes for a nice extra $20 or $30 a year.
I am thankful for the sample, coupons and freebie sites where I find items my family can use. It helps save me money in the long run. So, much more than what people who do not use them realize.
I am thankful for the new Walmart app. So, far I am starting to save buying fromWalmart. I need to remember to scan more of my receipts. I have two I forgot. Now it is to late. I like the Walmart app because I can buy anything I want in one place. Plus, still get the same savings as going to several stores. I get the savings back on a Walmart card.
What are you thankful for today?

Nov. 4th - Things I am Thankful For

This is my fourth post in this month long challenge. I think I will find a reason to be thankful for the a couple pf things I could turn to rants today.
I am thankful for my front screen door. As I can leave the front door open and not have rain or snow come in like the back door that has no screen door.
I am thankful to woken early from my sleep when someone doesn't take the time to close it completely when they leave in the morning. As it slams in to the house wall from the wind.
I am thankful for my dogs, even thou they decided to place the trash all over the kitchen floor.
I am thankful for Moose giving me extra reason to move to get up and clean the trash up and mop the floor once again. At least i am not sitting idle.
I am thankful Moose has a cage, so cleaning trash up is not a daily routine.
I am thankful for the pains in my lower back. As it lets me know at least a day in advance to stock up on maxi pads and chocolate. Possibly, coffee as well. As Aunt Flow will be here the following day. She arrived right on time this morning.

Nov. 3rd - Things I am Thankful For


My third post in this challenge for the month of November. I am thankful to have the means to get the food my family needs.
The food may not always be healthy. At least it is something to fill our bellies, where my family does not go to bed hungry.
I do try and stock up when I can. I don't have much storage for fresh or frozen items. Since, I got rid of the deep freezer. I go to the grocery store on a weekly bases. It does help to ensure I have more fresh produce in the house.
I am thankful I was able to take Restaurant management classes while in highschool.
I am thankful I was able to train under several chefs through out the years.
I am thankful I can cook a decent meal for my family and friends.
I am thankful I can read a recipe to try a new meal for my family and friends.
The photo is of the meal I choose to eat when I was having my anniversary dinner with my boyfriend on Oct.31st. Yes, you read that right. My anniversary is on Halloween. I am thankful for the wonderful meal.
What are you thankful for today?

Nov. 2 - Things I am thankful for


I am continuing the challenge of writing about things I am thankful for. You can join in to for the month of November and write about the things you are thankful if you wish.
Things I am thankful for :
I am thankful that even thou I was shot in the leg, I still have most of the use of my leg/foot.
I am thankful I only have to use a cane on occasion. Mainly during the colder months. As that is when I have the most trouble walking.
I am thankful I can still perform most of my household duties. I may have to take extra breaks and take some longer down time to complete them. As I will push myself til my home is clean.
I am thankful for the hardwood floors in my living room and hallway. It makes it easier to keep clean.
I am thankful I have the means to get the things I need to have a proper clean house. Now if everyone would pitch in, instead of making me feel like an unpaid maid.
I don't expect spotlessness with a lazy teen and the other just had surgery on his knee. Just pick up after themselves a bit more would help a whole lot.
What are some things your are thankful today?

Nov. 1st - Things I am Thankful For

I am taking the time to write about the things I am thankful this month. I have decided to bring back my things I am thankful for post.
Lately my world seems to be more stressed filled than normal. I have wrote several post about some of the things going on with my daughter.
Even as stubborn and bullheaded as she is, I am very thankful that God heard my prayer 14 yrs ago and blessed me with a daughter. I asked for a healthy baby girl. He gave me exactly what I prayed for.
No matter how many times she tells me she hates, I am thankful she will tell she loves me just as much.
I am thankful God has gave me to knowledge to recognize my daughter is hurting because her father does not seem to care for, doesn't seem to want to come get her, or take things up in court. Her rage has nothing to do with my boyfriend or myself.
I am thankful some of my family has finally recognized everything I have been saying about my daughter is true. I am not the mean spiteful mother she had everything believing they had to save her from.
Although things are not the way I wish them to be. I know if I am a little bit more patient with my daughter. One day she will come around and realize all the wrong she has bestowed up on me for no reason. I am thankful to know in the back of my mind, one day that will happen. Even if she never admits it to me.

Zorilla Verses Zorro and Zombies

A zorilla was zipping through the zucchini patch. Hoping to find a small zesty meal.
The zorilla noticed a zombie walking up behind him. He lifting his leg and sprayed him. Hoping it would deter the zombie from coming any closer.
The zombie had not eaten in several days. He was thirsty for blood. A zorilla would make a quick snack to hold off the hungry zombie.
All of a sudden Zorro come out of nowhere riding a zebra. Zorro reaches down, picks up the zorilla, tucks it under his arm and rides away from the zombie.
The zoo was in sight as Zorro came riding up on the zebra.
Passing several zombies that seem to be stuck in the mud. He passes like he did not notice them.
He places the zorilla in a zany zorilla cage, among others of his type. As soon as Zorro placed the zorilla down. The zorilla sprayed Zorro.
Zorro zigzagged away from the zorilla. Only to be ambushed and spayed by all the zorilla's in the cage.
Zorro ran off swearing to stay out of that particular zone. No more saving zorilla's from zombies.They are on their own.
-The End.
How many Halloween theme words starting with the letter "Z" can you think up to add to a short story, phrase or poem? Not sure, well, here are a few for you to use :
Zebra, zoink, zap, zapper, zoo, zombie, Zorro, zip, zilch, zone, zealous, zigzag, zesty, zany, zorilla, zucchini, zebra cakes

Yellow Jackets, Yorkshire Terrier, A Yak, and a Yeti

Yikes! It was getting dark. I sat down for a spell. Only to sit on a yellow jacket nest. I yelped as I started to run. As the yellow jackets were chasing me.
I ran right in to the side of a yak. He turned to look at me, grunted and starting to pound his right front hoof. As he started to put his horns down.
I quickly steered in another direction. I was heading for the pond. All the mean while I was yelping. As I sounded like I was yodeling.
I ran past the house with the yellow lights, as a Yorkshire terrier bit my ankle.
This did not deter me as I ran through the yard. Yellow jackets, a yak,and now a Yorkshire terrier, what next?
I was fool to ask myself that. As soon as I jumped in to the pond. The yellow jackets went away. The yak stopped two steps in the dark cool water, as the Yorkshire terrier barked from the shore.
I dove under the water only to run it to something big. Something hairy. Something cold. I came up only to hear myself screaming. I had ran in to yet another scary creature. This one they call a yeti.
I made it out of the pond and ran down the road. Only to hear laughter. Followed by a loud voice saying," What he isn't staying for the Halloween dress up party?"
-The End.
Trying to make a list of Halloween theme "Y" words to help anybody who is having writers block :
Yellow, yet, yeti, yikes, yield, yak, yellow jacket, Yorkshire terrier, young, yawn, yummy, yam, yew, yard, yardstick, yodel, yell, yelp, yawn,
How many can you come up with and use in a short story, phrase or poem?

The Tainted Vile

The vindictive Voodoo doctor was still upset with the Vampire. He had a plan set in motion to use his voodoo to get the vampire back.
The vindictive Voodoo doctor used a vile of tainted blood in replacement from the vampires stash.
The vampire was thirsty. Draped in his violet cape, he went to his fridge to retrieve a vile of blood. He drinks the vile of blood. Only to viciously vomit.
The blood was tainted! How could that be! As the vampire passes out.
When the vampire awoke. He was tied to a pole surrounded by some very violent creatures. A Vervet monkey was sitting on his head with a torch in his left hand, a Viking with a wooden stick to his left, on the right stood a Vampire Vixen with the most beautiful and alluring green eyes the vampire had ever seen.
The Voodoo doctor standing in front of the vampire was laughing. As he was finally going to get his revenge on the vampire.
The Voodoo doctor announced, "Now I will have my revenge. You silly vampire thinks you can fool with me. The vile was tainted with a virus." As he holds up the tainted vile of blood.
The vampire knew how vile the Voodoo doctor could be. He was a smart vampire as he had prepared for something like this. The vampire turned in to a vampire bat, flew over to the voodoo doctor and sang his vampire teeth it to his largest vein in the neck.
The vampire bat drank him dry. The vampire's thirst was quenched. As he loved the blood of a Voodoo doctor. It is one of his favorite kinds of blood.
Everyone stared and refused to move. As the vampire was transforming. The vile had a fast acting virus. Causing the vampire to start changing in front of their eyes.
The vampire started to grow hair all over his body. The Voodoo doctor made a mistake with which vile he switched on the vampire. As the vile he choose had a virus alright. Not one he suspected. The vile he switched on the vampire had werewolf blood.
Now the vampire was more dangerous then before. All who stood before him. Dropped to their knees and bowed their heads to their new ruler. The new Vampire Werewolf, was more vicious and deadly than a mere vampire or werewolf by themselves.
-The End.
Venturing on the Halloween theme "V" words :
Vulture, venture, vet, vampire, vanish, vain, vein, Vixen, voodoo, Voodoo doctor, violet, vicious, vomit, violent, vindictive, Viking, vile, vampire bat, viper, Vervet monkey, virus
