As Thanksgiving approaches, I am not sure what I am going to be able to make for dinner without an oven or stove.  Our kitchen remodel is moving forward nicely, but we will not be ready until late December. 

Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite meals to make..and I absolutely love making stuffing!  (and eating stuffing too).  It won't be the same without a turkey..

Hello voxers,
I hope you had a safe & happy holiday...I enjoyed the time off of work and did the following:

- Have decided to try my hand at sewing again.  It's been many years since I used a sewing machine, so I am essentially navigating uncharted waters.  I got a Brother Sewing machine with 25 stitches, and the journey begins!

- Have made a commitment to get back on track with my food choices, and will be dedicating myself to eating more fruit & vegetables.  Sugar is a big hurdle for me, and I look forward to feeling healthy when I kick the Sugar blues.

- Re-invested time with my family, enjoyed my mom's visit to our California home, and I anticipate my sisters may join us soon (since Chicago is getting a record cold winter so far).

- Watched "10 Questions for the Dalai Lama" during the holiday.  What an extraordinary film and personal journey for the filmmaker.  The Dalai Lama is so very jovial for an esteemed religious leader, and it is a pleasure to watch him answer questions on life, culture and forgiveness.

I hope you had a good holiday too & look forward to catching up on your blogs...
