Monday’s arrival was inevitable despite a weekend of fun that included seeing the new Star Wars movie (which, by the way, was fantastic), mailing packages off to the kids for Christmas, doing a bit of shopping, and warping my loom for a new weaving project.
The weekend also included some delicious Roasted Poblano Corn Chowder. So good and easy, made even better by the use of ingredients I preserved!
My list for today includes things from the mundane task of laundry to the making a new (and exotic) chicken recipe for dinner, with a bit of weaving and some knitting thrown in for good measure.
Hope your Monday is painless!

That moment when you have completed the items that you need to finish before Christmas Shipping D-Day!
The bonus comes when your sweetie surprises you with tickets to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens TODAY!!

In the two years I have lived in Pittsburgh, we have not had any snow for Christmas. In fact, both Christmas’ have been marked by unseasonably warm weather.
Winter is one of the things I miss the most about Michigan! The frosty snow blanketing the earth as if to tuck her in for a long winter.
This photo is a lovely reminder, especially today when I look outside and see green growing grass!

After yesterday’s post, this week’s 10 on Tuesday from Carole might be just what Santa ordered – 10 Gifts You Can Pick Up at the Grocery Store.
This could come in very handy in the 10 remaining days before Christmas!
- Wine! Although you cannot get this at a grocery store in PA, you could stop at the Wine and Spirits store and get a nice bottle of wine (as well as something with a bit more kick for yourself, if need be)
- Beer, which you can get at some grocery stores in PA! Luckily there are dozens of holiday beers to enrich every palate.
- Cheese, cured meats, and crackers. Bonus in that most stores have holiday themed cheese trays available this time of year.
- Holiday Coffee’s for the coffee lover on your list! You could even add in a nice mug or two!
- No coffee lover’s on your list? No problem – you can get Holiday Tea’s as well.
- Christmas Cookies! You can even get a holiday container to put them in and none will be the wiser that you did not bake them yourself, and I won’t ever tell.
- Nuts. This would go especially well with gifts one, two, and three!
- Fresh fruit baskets are thankfully at every market this time of year.
- Is there a baker or a want-to-be baker on your list? Take your favorite recipe and get all the ingredients to make it – you might even be able to pick up a festive bag to put them all in as well!
- If none of these ideas work, you can always get a gift card to all sorts of places!
There you go, Gentle Reader, if you’re feeling the pressure of failing – FEAR NOT and just go shopping!
