thanksgiving 2021

 nothing really special today.

for thanksgiving dinner we're having ham (he hates turkey) mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes (he like those), stuffing, brussels sprouts (him again), canned cranberry sauce (jelled) & some sort of rolls. we have 3 pies from Target & will randomly pick one later.

i've been recalling the one time my family (mom, dad, me & brother) we to a fancy hotel buffet for thanksgiving. oh! so much stuff. turkey and ham, all kinds of stuff for salads, 2-3 kind of potatoes, all sorts of breads a large selection of cheese and of course all kinds of desserts. with ice sculptures on the buffet tables too. *sigh* will probably never go to anything like that again.

s'mores dessert pizza

it's a dessert pizza from the screamin' sicilian brand.

just like the previous one it is very meh & we will not get again.

chocolate chip cookie dough & brownie bite pizza

 

it's a dessert pizza from the screamin' sicilian brand.

not bad, but not good either. very meh.

will not get again.

taco pizza

it was from the screamin' sicilian brand. it was OK.

it had olives, which i didn't know were something that's included in a taco. 

certainly not something i've had on a taco pizza before.

 i've found out that olives are sometimes included in americanized tacos. something to file away for the future.

i kind of miss thrift stores

 i used to go with my parents a lot before the big economic downturn in 2008, we'd hit up flea markets and sometimes yard sales too. mostly got books, sometimes clothes & housewares.

money isn't what it used to be and my brother hates going to those kind of places, so i have to live vicariously looking at r/thriftstonehauls.

aldi's eggplant pizza

 technically it's eggplant & grana panano cheese flatbread. from their specially selected line.

i do not like eggplant & vegetable pizzas are always weird with how much the vegetables cook down and get kind of mushy.

not terrible, but not good. will not get again.

but i will say this; if you want "unusual" pizza toppings, check out aldi. lidl might be the same way, i don't know.
