What's on your agenda for today?

....me too jujube, cooking everything that can be warmed up tomorrow, my grands are here, they are a lot of help. A lot of artery-clogging here too.

Good luck on the cheesecakes, Georgia.
 

Went over the the big market, day before Thanksgiving, to pick up a few thing...first time I've ever seen this...NO shopping carts...all 12 registers are open...went back home empty.

Told son in law if he is going to cook that turkey in boiling oil again this year then Im not sitting at the table....GROSS!!!!!!
 
In Adelaide today had appointment this morning with my doctor ( I have been seeing the same doctor since 1988) He ordered the EEG to try to work out why I collapsed.
The tests thankfully showed NO Epileptogenic Features seen (no seizures) . Now we are all shrugging our shoulders ..I asked him if it was possibly related to low blood sugar .. and he questioned me a little further asking if I felt unwell in the way of feeling a little anxious before going to bed that night ...the answer was yes ,I was a little jumpy couldn't relax, so I went to bed early that night ,which is more than likely the reason I had to go to the toilet at 1.30 am that morning..
He offered to do further tests in the way of a MRI which I declined as I didn't feel it was necessary unless I have any further problems .. Since that stay in hospital where my BS was low each time it was taken I have been keeping an eye on it at home and making sure I take it prior to going to bed ,if it's under 5.5 I make sure I eat a slice of toast with a little something sweet, I feel much better in the mornings due to having something to eat just prior to going to bed .
 

Morning georgia and folks...

Great news KD about your tests...hopefully all of that scare was a one off, and you'll stay well chikadee.. :love_heart:

I've been waiting for a CaT scan and an MRI, both for different conditions...finally the hospital called yesterday and I have my MRI scan for next week..one down one to go..hope the other gets here before Christmas but I doubt it..

Georgia...and everyone who celebrates it ..Happy thanksgiving to you all...:D I'm just getting ready to leave for work. Still dark here, and grey dank low temps forecast for the day with a little bit of rain later .

Daughter is flying in next week from Southern Spain..literally flying in to have early Christmas dinner with us , so I'm looking forward to that .

Have a lovely day folks....and enjoy your Thanksgiving celebrations :D
 
Happy Thanksgiving, y'all. Everything's under control here and right on schedule to sit down to Thanksgiving dinner at 1. I'll eat lightly here, then off to visit with my son and eat again with him because nobody wants to eat Thanksgiving dinner alone. At the moment, cheese and sausage muffins are in the oven because they are de rigueur on holiday mornings.

It's a lovely sunny morning. 45F and supposed to be close to 60 today.
 
Happy Thanksgiving!

Husband did his packing in no time flat. I rearranged my suitcase and don't have much room left. But I've still got more weight allowance as it's at 23 kgs and the allowance is 30. They might weigh my carry on which is right at 7kg, and that is the weight allowance. Sometimes they are picky about carry on weight, sometimes not. Just to be sure I'll put some of the stuff in my jacket pockets.
 
We had a lot of frost this morning but the sun is out so I went outside awhile and did a few things. Kind of neatening up the front porch since we are having company Sat for our Thanksgiving meal. I have a million things I should be doing. I hope everyone has a nice day today and those of you in the U.S. have a wonderful Thanksgiving! :)
 
Thanksgiving for two in our house. Just finished putting a large roaster chicken on the grill, sitting on top of a can filled with white wine and lemon. Made a nice batch of scallopped potatoes in a delicious cheese sauce, which will be going in the oven soon. Still have to make some balsamic glazed carrots and nibble on the huge batch of fresh shrimp I made, before sitting down to dinner. Oh, and there's homemade date nut bread, courtesy of my wife and pumpkin pie for dessert.
 
Totally exhausted.. just back from moving son into his new apartment... and getting him organized. Hubby and I are dining on White Castle hamburgers aka sliders... and wine.... Relaxing
 
QS hope everything works out with your son.

Just finished my last gym workout before trip. Done with backpack now and can pack it since I'm using it as carryon. I have 2 things to add to suitcase, otherwise I am packed.
 
Ameriscot, are you too excited to sleep? Are you gonna sleep with your backpack? LOL

QS...you are definitely a person with a lot of class (just like me, of course). One doesn't *eat* White Castle burgers, one *dines* on them!

It's going to be a lovely fall day here. 52 right now with a high temp expected of 70. I'll be working in the garden if anybody is looking for me, k?

Georgia, I'm waking up more often, and also having dreams about packing and passports! I used to have dreams right before a trip where I couldn't find my passport. I'm so super organized now that I don't have those any more. Passports, tickets, all papers are in a big plastic pocket that goes into my backpack.

Yes, QS and you are very high class. ;) I will admit to liking White Castles but it's been years since I've been able to eat any.

Enjoy your gorgeous weather!
 
Thanks GeorgiaXplant..... without a doubt... and we had a discussion about the best wine to pair with Sliders.. Hubby thought a nice Cabernet would pair well. I, on the other hand, chose my favorite Chardonnay.

Have a great trip Annie...
 
Cleaning house today as I like to come back to a clean house after a trip. Taking our friends to the local pub for dinner tonight.

Fridge freezer is empty and switched off, just have to empty and switch off the undercounter fridge in the kitchen tomorrow. Heading to hotel tomorrow afternoon. So Monday morning we'll just have to hop on the airport bus after a leisurely breakfast.
 
Later today, I am going to the Intercultural Centre to discuss their plans for integration of Syrian refugees. I am donating one of my grandmother's quilts, and a lovely maple bed that I took out of storage. I have made a huge amount of halvah, which

the Syrian interpreter kindly offered to sample to test it's authenticity. Funny how it took several samples for him to decide. I

don't mind, he is gorgeous. Ladies, picture a six foot two Omar Shariff with tousled black curls and huge almond eyes. Perfect chiclet teeth. Sigh.....

Very generous. Good for you! He sounds gorgeous!! :sentimental:
 
Flying the boss and his family to Myrtle Beach for the weekend at noon today. I was at the airport yesterday going over the plane and putting in a ticket for fuel this morning. Weather looks good for the weekend. About 72 degrees both today and tomorrow. They must have more money than brains. Just figuring how much the difference is between taking a private leased jet and flying commercial, they could have saved a few thousand dollars taking a commercial flight.

Is halvah anything like pieces of candy made up of sesame seeds and honey? If it is, I love that stuff. It's not recommended for those of us that have diverticulosis, but I risk it.
 
Yes it is Oldman. It comes in different flavours also. Even chocolate! I am not certain if you meant sesame snaps, where the sesame seeds remain whole. In halvah, they are ground up.
