We slept late; and when I showered and got to the top of the stairs, the three youngest boys were giddily waiting for me. We made breakfast! We had soggy granola, dry cinnamon toast and coffee with honey, chocolate, caramel, cream, and sprinkles.
It was the best breakfast ever!
The boys cuddled up with Superman on the couch to watch movies. Superman injured himself yesterday doing nothing that was really super. He was just helping someone undo a trailer hitch. But his back is sore...very sore....the kind that makes it hurt to take a full breath.
So while they all snuggled and watched movies, I sorted through recipes and made a list.
I only had two helpers on my shopping trip today, but we managed to get it done. The only thing about coming home from shopping for Thanksgiving dinner, is that you don't want to wait four days to make it. So I planned a little special dinner for tonight.
Harvest Salad:
Toss together:
Field Greens
Dried Cherries
Crumbled Blue Cheese
Toasted Pumpkin Seeds
Dress with:
Balsamic Vinegar
Olive Oil
Black Pepper
Salt
Boursin Bites: (I was served a sample at the grocery store and came home to back them. Nummy!
Dice one or two 1/4" slices of deli roast beef. Mix with two packages of Boursin cheese (O.K. I know it is the name of the recipe, but I cheated and used a tub of Rondule to save money), some minced green onion, diced black olives, 2 T. of mayonnaise and a few shakes of celery salt. Spread the mixture on baguette slices and garnish with a strip of red pepper. Broil until the cheese is bubbly/golden.
We also had Green Tea Ginger Ale (Courtesy of Canada Dry) and Pumpkin Fudge...which is totally to die for...and whose recipe I am not sharing yet. Mwahhahahaha!
In other news, check out the very fun video Clayton made today. He and his friend Ryan took turn taping each other with a cell phone over the weekend and then Clayton came home and edited and added music. Good job, bud!
