Popular Post Dirtyhip Posted February 27, 2022 Popular Post Share #1 Posted February 27, 2022 When people come to our house, we do a property tour that culminates at the end where they get to peruse the gift shop. Our gift shop is non-profit. There is something for everyone. You get to pick one thing. Last night, our gift shop shoppers got, a bar of my handmade soap, a packet of arrowleaf balsamroot seeds, a package of pastel blocks, a brand new coffee thermos, and a stainless pan. They were all cracking up and were really getting into the idea. The gift area is very small so I said "two at a time in the gift shop area." They all wanted to know what people picked and had a good time with it. As my friends were leaving one said to me "What a great idea to get rid of your unwanted crap." I was like "Hey, it's all good crap." They all agreed. My pal was super excited about the seeds. The gift shop is now down to an inventory of: one bar of soap, a packet of humorous parking ticket violations, a hacky sack, one keychain, pro watercolor pencils, 3 packets of seeds (clover, alfalfa and sweet peas), a package of unopened color forms, an iphone cord, a tiny American flag, and two boxes of puzzles. I need to find more crap for the store inventory. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mistimed it just a tad. It was done about 30 minutes too early. Hot gravy saves the day with semi warm turkey. My stuffing was great. I made the bread for the cubes. Everything was homemade in the Xanadu kitchen. I'll tell you this, Thanksgiving is completely out of my wheelhouse. I did really good just going rogue and crafting it all. I really love to cook just about anything. There are still a few things that frighten me. The beef cow purchase has taught me how to prepare just about any cut. My cuts were usually very limited. I can even make great short ribs now, and then make something with the leftover bones. I used to have a service for sixteen of these duck plates. My friend said "You have had these for as long as I have known you." I am down to about a complete service for about five. The ducks are starting to really to look shabby. I love my mismatched silverware and shabby old duck plates. They might be meager but there is a lot of love in our kitchen. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbs grown at Xanadu (thyme and oregano), and one arm holder for a season pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
