“From 100 calories to 10,000, we’ll take you from dull to full” is a tagline I created after the following conversation.
Over a FaceTime call with my step-mom, Paula she discussed tonight’s family dinner, chuckling, “I watched a video recipe with spinach and mushrooms, and thought, ‘Ooh, how can I make that unhealthy?'” Heavy cream, flour, and butter, that how! So, if you’ve been hanging around this blog awhile, you know I’m like a bloodhound scenting out captivating podcast ideas, fun band names or TV show concepts. A cooking show to make things unhealthy? Count me in!
Soon I’ll be on a mission to “spread joy to children and families in my community”. The USPS confirmed my commitment in an email earlier after I signed up for Operation Santa, an initiative where individuals respond to Santa letters. With just three days left to sign up, here’s the link so you too can join the cause and make a difference. https://www.uspsoperationsanta.com/
Just in time for Thanksgiving trivia: did you know that the red flap that hangs over the top of a turkey’s beak is called a snood? Well, it is. My enlightenment came courtesy of Evelyn, who, while pointing at her preschool art project of a turkey with six construction yellow, orange, and red paper feathers, each one getting a letter of her name, she gleefully exclaimed, “Snood!” A look between Dave and I led to our embarking on a quick Google search to confirm the delightful discovery.
Snood, what a great word.
In the Georgia house we plan to build, have I mentioned wanting motion lights in the garage and pantry areas? No more dabbing a hand around in the dark, patting spiders and friends to find the switch. But also, I have a new desire; torches. Remembering how magical Epcot was at night at the smoky laser light show but specifically the torches shining in the dark, flickering over the water it was such a lovely scene. I want that. And since Dave’s getting a real fireplace he agrees I should have torches. How fun!
I better post this. It’s 11:20pm and I have to leave the house early to to meet friends and their kid at Defy Trampoline Park. I’ll have to rock, paper, scissors Dave to see who gets to be Evelyn’s chaperone.
One more Google search says I should start with paper. One sec. I just played Dave and couldn’t even get to the third round, he won the first two. Tip: Don’t trust the internet.
Love, Jaclynn
