Hope everyone has a safe, fun, candy filled Halloween!
First off, I should report that after six days of torturing the poor girl, I have officially run out of the necessary strength to try to trap her and force a pill down her throat. I figure she'll heal better without the stress and my creepy crud has me so out of energy, I know I'll feel better. Miss Thing is eating and drinking again so hopefully, I'm in the clear! Now, I just have to convince her to let me start brushing her again.
Not feeling too well usually equals an inability to concentrate on any one thing without getting a headache so tend to find myself on Amazon looking up random things that catch my attention... I would like to say that I just look but that would be a baldfaced lie. My big challenge was given to me by my oldest daughter! We both want a food processor and her idea was for me to find a buy one get one free deal (BOGO).
For those of you who have not yet discovered Ebates or SavingsStar, they make things more fun by offering cash rebates at many stores and other sites when you shop online. You have to research what you are going to buy and then figure out who has the best rebate. Sign in to the store through the link on rebate page, shop and then just sit back and wait for your money to be credited to your account. Ebates sends out checks every so often. SavingsStar gives you a choice of ways to collect: cash or gift cards.
I looked on sites like Amazon, Overstock, Wayfair, Bed, Bath & Beyond and JCPenney researching to see who had the best deal. I found a better than BOGO deal at JCPenney. Regular price $180 on sale for $99, 25% off online coupon code with free shipping, 6% Ebate and paid for it with a 1.5% cash back card. Guess who now has a new toy for herself and one Christmas gift checked off her list! Nothing makes you feel better faster than using a coupon, getting an Ebate and then paying for it with your cash back card!
If you decide to sign up, use my link and I get rewarded when you redeem your first rebate...
Tried making dough to bake this veggie tart. Supposed to take out of food processor, roll it out, fill it, then pull dough up the sides. I think using the food processor is going to take some practice. Unfortunately, my dough was so thin it was more like I scooped it up and "painted it" on the sides... A bit more work and then I'll post it to the recipe blog! FYI, filling is butternut squash, apples and leeks. Bottom of tart is covered with an herb and garlic cream cheese along with some crumbled bacon. Tastes a million times better than it looks.
Spent last weekend celebrating my son's birthday at their annual oyster roast. Made some delicious eats and took them, the turkey fryer and Joe to his house for the day. Best part was having my two handsome grandsons together! Had a total blast, weather was perfect and we spent the majority of the day out in the yard.
Not sure if this is good or not but I finally won more than a dollar in the lottery! Matched three numbers and that is a whopping $4 win! Only time will tell what the price for that win will be. Today, I'll just enjoy the win.
