Catching up. My mother purchased this light-up Santa head to decorate my house. I need to figure out how to hang it up.
Buddy kept me company while I cooked.
My floor needs to be refinished badly.
Also made gluten free cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes and parsnips, and cranberry-pineapple-pecan sauce.
Santa.
I'm feeling poor this year so I am making canned goods for holiday presents. The first thing I have made is apple-onion-fresh sage chutney. Tastes like Thanksgiving.
Mother did not like it.
I do not like the fact that I apparently have a dental caries on the labial side of my right 2nd maxillary molar. Last Sunday it hurt very bad. I have my regular appointment with the dentist next Monday. I have also been grinding my teeth due to stress. Sigh.
For Thanksgiving lunch I tried something new, a chocolate flourless torte.
Looks pretty while I am mixing the egg yolk mixture into the chocolate and butter mixture.
Finished torte.

Gluten-free stuffing.
I pulled out the 1909 wedding china. I need to buy some wineglasses, I am down to three due to breakage.

Cooking for my mother is difficult. She has gotten so picky, I agonize over what to make her because she hates so many things. The other night I asked her is she liked supper and she said, "Well, it was filling." She has no filter and blurts out whatever she thinks. My feelings get hurt, a lot. It has made my life stressful.
So I was pleased she liked everything I cooked for Thanksgiving lunch. She even liked the leftovers.
Tomorrow we are going to ride the streetcar. That will be an adventure.
