Thanksgiving Dinner: Stay Ready So You Don’t Have To GET Ready

On By Lady GIn Holidays || Major and Minor, Save Your Money | Make Your Own3 Comments

If I’m being honest, you probably should have already purchased everything you need for your Thanksgiving dinner.

No tea, no shade…just facts!

And…you should know by now that LadyG runs a very strict ‘no judgement zone’ on this blog; however, I will let you know when you are flirting with catastrophe.

Hence, this post.

Seriously, what with all these supply chain issues, food is getting harder to come by so extra planning is a MUST!

As for me, I have been buying things for Thanksgiving since September!

In other words, I’ve been watching sales and picking up stocks, soups, flour, pastas and pretty much anything else that I know I’ll want for Thanksgiving dinner.

The other day I purchased some tylenol, cough drops, cotton swabs and a can of cranberry sauce–’cause it was on sale.

A strange combination of purchases?

Yes.

Crazy?

Hell naw!

I stay ready so I don’t have to GET ready.

So should you!

LOL!

Now, here’s how I prep my Thanksgiving meal part 1 and part 2.

Let’s GO!

Save Your Money | Make Your Own Food: LadyG’s Pepper and Tomato Bisque

On By Lady GIn Save Your Money | Make Your Own3 Comments

This is a very simple and inexpensive dish for a delicious and warming Autumn lunch.

Full disclosure: The most expensive ingredient in this bisque is the smoked gouda cheese.

Please feel free to substitute the gouda with a nice cheese that fits both your personal taste and budget.

By the way, I only share the main ingredients, tools and methods…

It’s a template of sorts.

There is no recipe as I am a soul food cook who creates recipes ‘by heart.’

That said…

Take a look at the video, prepare it yourself and let your conscience be your guide!

Let me know if you happen to try this and tell me about the modifications you made.

***This post is a follow up toFirst of the Fall

In “First of the Fall,” I shared that Lady J and I were planning to enjoy thefirst day of fall.

And we did!

First, we went to the Hamlet of Subway in order to secure provisions for a leisurely lunch in the park.

After examining their menu, we decided to purchasea portion of roasted beast atop flattened bread-replete with any number and kind ofvegetables from the farmer’s harvest.

Best believe we added a tankard of sweet tea and a bag of chips 😉

I’mpartial to salt and vinegar! Lady J opted for BBQkettle chips.

YAAASSS!

After leaving the good people at Subway, Lady J and Ibegan a journey that ended at a local park.

There we commenced to enjoy our meal and take in the day.

But, alas, a bell began to toll!

Lady J was immediately startled-yet intrigued!
