Hello! Did you survive the first holiday of the holiday season? There's plenty more ahead. I was amazed at all that happened here in a week's time, all because I had a list of sorts to help me think. Guess who found Christmas cards as soon as all the newly purchased ones were addressed and stamped? Yep. That rule about 'A place for everything and every thing in it's place.' I fudged a bit on it and stuck them in an odd spot. So odd that I did a stumble upon after I was done. Guess who has cards in the card file ready for next year? That would be me.
This week in my home, I:
Continue the freezer challenge.
I planned a meal from the leftover turkey last week, then we decided to have our Thanksgiving meal on Friday. So Turkey Fried Rice never happened last week. I have another idea for this week.
Plan meals for the week:
I have two days alone this week. One of those will be spent out with Mama. I've got leftovers for the other day.
Crock Pot Beef Roast with Vegetables, Green Salad, Pumpkin Pie
We're hopeful we get to go to church. A meal ready to eat when we come in that is not related to turkey will be most appreciated about now.
Turkey a la King, Brown Rice, Steamed Green Beans, Oranges
Barbecued Chicken, Creamed Corn, Coleslaw, Pumpkin Pie
Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Corn Muffins
Panbroiled Steaks, Oven Fries, Tossed Salad
Plan extra tasks for the week ahead:
Lab work
day out with Mama
Mop kitchen and baths
Deep clean showers
Decorate house for Christmas
Plan order of Channukah surprises and print out games
Defrost and clear out freezers of expired items

I canned 20 pints of turkey broth yesterday! I will be so glad I did it!
You have such an ambitious list of chores that you are making me feel lazy! I am still recovering and cleaning from our house full of company. I noticed some friends absent this AM at church whose husbands were there without them. I know they were too tired to move.
I have planned my menus for the week and they do not include any turkey. Some meals are from the freezer. We went out for burgers and FF last night and it was sooooo good!
I must finish shopping this week and start wrapping. I think we will not get out any decorations util next weekend.
I'm just catching up with your posts from before Thanksgiving. It's been crazy busy here. We enjoyed the holiday with my folks and sister. Our children come for Christmas this year. We trade off with in-laws every other year. By the way, what does TNT mean?
I read Lana's comment on canning turkey broth and I'd love to know what/how she does it. If I understand her comment, that is 40 cups of broth. I'm impressed.
I need to run but wanted to check in quick and say hi and that I'm still enjoying your posts. Pam
About canning the broth-ladle hot broth into hot jars and cap. Proccess in a pressure canner for 20 min for pints and 25 for quarts at 10 pounds pressure for an elevation up to 1000 ft. It is the easiest canning I do since there is so little prep of the actual item being canned.
