The other day, Laura posted a pic of her shopping list for a meme she was doing. I'm rather proud of my Thanksgiving list, so I figured I'd share (click on image for bigger). Graphics used on the list were found at Graphic Garden. The great thing about keeping this list on my ol' computer is I don't have to strain the brain every year trying to remember what I need to get. I print it out, check my cupboards for stuff I already have, stick it on a clipboard and off to the store we go. This year's shopping trek only took two hours and three stores. That even included walking around most the the new Walmart at I-70 and Tower Road to help Dad find a squeegee. It could've been done with two stores if either King Soopers or Walmart carried Kellogg's Stuffing. The only place that seems to carry that anymore are Super K. I hate shopping at Kmart with a passion, especially the one on Colfax/Chambers. There were some King Soopers listed on the product finder list. Last year I drove around to all of them hoping to find my elusive stuffing, but to no avail. I ended up at the Super K over on south Broadway. This year I wasn't going to drag Dad all around town and waste gas, so I suffered the Super K closest to my home. I thought I was screwed when I couldn't find it anywhere, nor could I find an employee to ask for assistance. As I was giving up and heading for the door, I found a small display in an aisle! Victory!
See, I make this really good shrimp stuffing that I think I found on the back of a stuffing box one year. I tried it one year with a different brand of stuffing and it just wasn't the same. It's got to be the seasonings they use or something. Thus the special trip every year. Anyway, I put the recipe in the extended just in case it every disappears from their web site. It is SO GOOD!
Well, I guess I better wrap this up and get going to the pizza job. I said I was going to make a pumpkin pie from scratch this year and I mean it! I've got a couple of pumpkins sitting on my dining room table that need to be cooked today so that I'll be ready to bake the pies tomorrow night. I'm going all Martha and even bought a tiny leaf cookie cutter to decorate the edge of the pie. If it turns out decent, I'll post pics.
