- WE GOT A NEW FRIDGE YESTERDAY. And a dishwasher. And digging started for our house (I'm diggin' a big hole!). And I worked super late and have no clue how I'm going to get through today. But mostly, the fridge. Our old one took a break a few weeks ago and had a few other things wrong with it so we decided to take advantage of the November sales to replace it, and here it is in all its glory right before I started to fill it with our crap. The process of emptying out our old fridge and throwing away things when we moved food from the old fridge to the new one was incredibly satisfying, and I'm very inspired to use.all.the.condiments. I have way too many hot sauces, or do I?
- While we were planning the big appliance switch, I went the teensiest bonkers (what, you? no.) reading appliance guides and reviews. One included a section titled "What is a Refrigerator?" so I felt pretty good knowing that I'm not the stupidest person on the internet.
- OMG Chicken Tamale Pie. Chicken filling over cornbread bathed in cheese whaaaaat.
- We have started our Christmas shopping this week online and in stores, and are having so much fun planning gifts for family and friends that we love. I have the entire list written for all but just a few people that are stumping us, and then it's just about assembling and wrapping, which is the best. I'm definitely in the market for a new general gift where I'd usually use candles or wine - something nice and homey and slightly creative. Thoughts?
- THANK GOODNESS WEEKEND. The weeks after holidays always seem to drag and fly, right? I have to work a good amount this weekend, but in between we are finishing up decorating for Christmas, re-assembling our house and kitchen after the appliance swap, and having some friends over for yummy food and football - we're smoking ribs, among other things. I adore this time of year. Have the best weekend!
