thanksgiving '23

 

hope you have a nice time, watching football, eating & spending time with family/friends. 

careful on the roads; thanksgiving is a big time for drunk driving accidents. and remember; "buzzed" driving is just as bad as drunk driving.

if you're going to hit the black friday sales be careful, it can get crazy sometimes.

wal-mart cookies

 decided to get the wal-mart cookies (except for one) that are like girl scout cookies. some things we had before.

Fudge-Covered Peanut Butter-filled (GC equalivant; Tagalongs/Peanut Butter Patties) very good gainst the GC version (the best of the GC cookies). have had before, will get again.
Lemon Dipped Shortbread Cookies (GC equalivant; Lemonades) never had the GC version, so we don't know how it measures up. but very light lemon taste, which is good. having more than once at once may increase the lemon perception.
kebler grasshopper (GC equalivant; Thin Mints) never had the GC version, so we don't know how it measures up. but it has a light mint taste & like for the above that's good.

what we had before, but not this time;
Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies (GC equalivant; Do-si-dos/Peanut Butter Sandwich) the GC version is dry and not that good. for the wal-mart one; nice, medium PB taste & not too dry.
Caramel Coconut & Fudge Cookies (GC equalivant; Caramel deLites/Samoas)better then the GC version. the keebler version taste burnt.

my brother wants to get the wal-mart cococnut things next time, i have to remeber to ask for the PB sandwich cookies.

the weather

 it's warm again. high 60s & low 70s with rain. not really right for november, although there have been "indian summer" days before.

but weather the world over is changing, and not for the better.

halloween '23

 the trick or treat stuff was over the weekend but if you're looking for discount candy, hopefully you find some & it's not all christmas stuff.

now is probably the time to plan for thanksgiving though.

fall weather?

 it's in the 70s today and will be the rest of the week, then into the weekend.

it's been fall (autumn) for a month now. we had some cooler weather for a few days last week and the week before. i hate to be one of those people where say it was different when i was a kid. but i just don't know any more.

of course i switched my spring/summer stuff for my fall/winter stuff this past weekend and have to drag out shorts & short-sleeved t-shirts as needed.

Great Value Butter Seasoned Pretzel Twists

 got these from wal-mart the other day. they are very zesty.

kind of like dot's seasoned pretzels (i can't recall mentioning we had them), but a lot cheaper.

dot's is currently $6.94 for 16oz at wal-mart. these were $3.98 for the same amount.

nothing to get again.

chuck e. cheese brand pizza

 found it in the freezer section of wal-mart last week & cooked it up for dinner. they hd cheese & pepperoni, we got the pepperoni.

kind of tastes like tony's frozen pizza. 

i'm reminded that people have said that no one went to chuck e. cheese's for the pizza & if it tasted like this, i can see why.
