Thanksgiving 2019 Day Two

We are three days away from the final Thanksgiving of this decade. WOW! I can’t believe another decade is almost over. Here we are getting ready for the biggest feast day of the year…

Over the next couple of days, I am going to share how I will be lightening up my load by breaking up across four days. Yesterday we took to turkey out of the freezer to unthaw in water. Set it aside then secured the lid. Okay! I had to do that part off of the camera. Today, we checked on the turkey and dressed up the dressing. I used homemade stock and fancy butter. No, I am not kidding... The first time I bought the butter it was on sale and I thought why not. I went to buy Friday and it was back at the shockingly horrible price of $6.99. I peeled my jaw off of the floor and moved back to the Kerry Gold. It was marked up as well. So, I got to blocks of the Private Selection French Butter. Cheaper at $2.49, now this is the butter I use for simple uses. I just like it better. While we were at Wal-Mart Saturday I got my Kerry Gold Butter at $3.40 a block. 

Anyway, tomorrow we will check the bird one last time before Wednesday and assemble one side and maybe the dip. I am debating about doing the dip tomorrow or Wednesday. How are y’all coming with your Thanksgiving preps? Please share it below.

War Is A Racket

  This is an excellent quick read. If you don’t have ADHD, it’s a quick read. I started this book before Thanksgiving so between the holidays and every day crazy train I finally finished it. Of course, I made notes in each chapter about my thoughts. We’ll see if this helped compared to the chapter-by-chapter review we did on The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.  Throughout the book, General Butler covers the ins and outs of war. He looks at the financial cost and the human cost. He starts out by explaining how the military-industrial complex was formed. Which I do think is critical. Most people in America don’t understand what the military-industrial complex is. Never mind how it is used. I am not going into detail here just read The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man. You will understand the order in which things unfold. The minority of Americans know who profits from war and who doesn’t. General Butler covers that as well. You will notice I said ‘m...

How America Angered God Lust

  We left off at Wrath. Now we will continue this list and finish it out. Sin: Lust This is the sin that nails us all. It is wanting power, pleasure, and money. Not necessarily all of these but one or all.  I grew up in the 1980s so when I think of examples of this particular sin I am reminded of Jim Baker and Jessica Hawn. He was married to Tammy and lusted after two things; money and Jessica. Their lust brought them down in the end. Tammy had her own lust for money that contributed to their downfall.  Ten Commandment:  Thou shall not commit adultery.  Virtue: Chastity Being chaste is recommended by Christ. In the book of Mathew chapters 19: 12 and 22: 20 Christ talks of being chaste. Being chaste teaches discipline. https://youtu.be/7Y8lHwOIu_A
