Saturday was the day I could pick Friday the 20th for my Xmas Longo's grocery order. Done!
Then I decided I should find some gluten-free cream of chicken, it seems Aylmer's make one and Walmart carries it at 0.97¢. This led to another grocery order that would come today. I wanted the soup because John has not been enjoying chicken divan with the gluten free options.
I finished off the old apples by making French toast for lunch. YAY me, no more apples!
John took the condo Holiday Fund contribution down to Steve. The memo had the date wrong, it had Friday Dec 15!! This Fund is your way of saying Thank You and Happy Holidays to our Staff, after another year of special care and service.
Monday Mural from our spring trip. Ogallala Nebraska.
I made low carb chocolate almond biscotti (gluten-free) that were very good. Bonus it used up two chocolate bars that have been hanging around. Here are 21 other biscotti flavours.
Tuesday, up early, as John had a couple of appointments. I did some chores (laundry, plants, got rid of the ice in freezer) and we had kinda planned to go out but instead lounged the day away.
First eggnog of the season! We are laughing at the French name! Milk of chicken.

Wednesday I went for a mani-pedi and then to Longo's (wanted fish for dinner) and John went to lunch with a friend to discuss golfing options for next summer. That lunch resulted in us booking a 4 day May trip to Ottawa for tulip festival as friend had booked it so we are tagging along. It has been on my bucket list forever.
Thursday I went for a haircut and walked through Brookfield Place on my way. I also went to get more Christmas gift cash and had a lobster roll for lunch.
John used the golf simulator.
I made a great pot of clean the fridge (CTF) soup. I also made salted caramel but the first batch didn't work so I made another. The next time I would make the coffee stronger, make coffee ice cubes.
