Today

 This is a huge football day. His football team is the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are currently playing the Baltimore Ravens. A must see game. Right after that is another must see game, the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs (who are up to this point undefeated. I blame Taylor Swift.) Now here's where it gets tricky. Tim wants the Bills to lose because they are neck and neck with his beloved team. But he also wants the Chiefs to lose because they are undefeated and a loss would make them within reach of his beloved team. 

What to do, what to do? It's a quandary alright.

I saw a sushi making kit on market place. I love kimbap. I did a quick search and was amazed to see that you can buy nori sheets right at walmart, on the shelf, so quick as a wink, I bought the kit. I've been looking at kimbap recipes. I think this will be a lot of fun, although I can see it something that easily gets out of hand. I've already got plans for pickled daikon radishes, and looking up recipes for fish cakes. It will be a fun thing to play around with this winter.

After Tim got home from church, we ran up to feed the kittens. He also wanted to move his game camera. Plus we had to be home by the time those VERY IMPORTANT games started. 

I tried something new today, now that it is getting cold. Keeping in mind AC's admonitions about cats and milk, I decided to try stopping their milk. At the discount grocery, they have packages and packages and MORE packages of gravy mix for 10 cents each. I heat that with a couple cups of water, haul it out to the garage and mix a can of catfood into the gravy. I pour it over their dry catfood. I stood back to see what they thought of it, and we had quite a kitten caboodle of excitement. They were quite enthusiastic, and once their bellies were full with warm dinner, they were very playful, so it was a fun way to wait for Tim to get out of the woods. 

I received my first package for the Amish Christmas in the mail yesterday and was much disappointed to see that it was broken. I contacted the seller and much to my surprise, she apologized and said that she would refund my money. Two minutes after she said she would, my phone pinged again, and I was notified that I was receiving the credit. How nice was that? I was prepared for a wrangle. 

Speaking of wrangles, after 10 months of wrangling, I see that the city has us on the agenda for tomorrow night's meeting. We should have a nice check in our hands by the end of the week. It will always gall me that we were totally ignored until we hired a lawyer, something that added even more expense. But all's well that ends well, and if we are lucky, we will never have to deal with the city manager again. 

So that's today. Steelers winning by two points coming out of halftime. 

Yesterday in Columbus Ohio. 

It's going to take more than one giggle to get past that awful scene. 

Just in time for Thanksgiving: 

A decorated turkey cake.

Or a flaming turd.

I am going to guess a turkey.

The flaming turds were marching in Columbus.
