We had clear skies last night so we had a great view of the Hunter’s/Blue moon. My youngest is learning astronomy this year so that was exciting for her. We could also see Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars. Wished I could have gotten a picture, but the iphone doesn’t take great pictures of light up things.

I like the one on the left because it's really crazy looking.
Oh, speaking of Halloween and all, no kids came by on our street, and I was relieved. We kept our lights off, as did all others, and apparently the local parents kept the majority of kids at home. I think that was a safe idea for this year only. Let's all hope it's back to normal (or close to normal) by next Halloween.
(There was one house that put out a table (with a lit-up pumpkin on top) and candy at the end of their driveway for kids to help themselves. But even they didn't have any kids at all. (Interesting to note that the mayor in my city didn't call it off, like many of the other surrounding cities and towns, but again, no kids came regardless.) Now, I have 3 bags of candy, and I'll keep a bit of it and probably throw out the rest. In past years, our church would take unopened bags and they sent them off to military installations. But this year, they're not doing that (I assume, because the bags would all have to be sanitized first--just a guess.)

I like this time that we're in now. I can't stand it when it goes to daylight savings time in the spring.
But I could compromise with one or the other -- ONE time for the whole year, so that it's not as disruptive twice a year!!!

Call the Marines! They may be sending candy this year and if not they may be able to distribute it when to hand out Toys For Tots. Some dentists also take donationsI like the one on the left because it's really crazy looking.

or you could always turn the candy into Christmas cookies

I finished the book I was reading yesterday and I don't know what I should read next. I kind of want to re-read The Host, and also the Outlander series....but I remember last time I read the Outlander series, it took me months to get through. I just don't have that much time for reading, so then it takes me forever. And on the one hand, I want to re-read the series to refresh my memory before the next book comes out, but so far, I don't think there's a release date.
But, I also have The Audacity of Hope, I have a couple of Stephen Fry books, but I think my husband is reading those, and I have a Ken Follet book. And some Mitch Albom books....I have a whole bunch of books to read, so I'm not sure which should be next or if I should re-read something. I did just read all the Jane Austen books before finishing Dreams from My Father and Untamed. (That's the one I just finished.) AND I have a Travel guide for Austria that I want to go through, but traveling is a no-no right now, so I don't want to get all excited about stuff it may be a while before I get to see.
Ok, so I have An Abundance of Katherines, A Column of Fire, The Queen's Fool, The Wizard of Oz (and other stories), The Audacity of Hope, Slammerkin, The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto, Heroes and Mythos, (my husband is reading Heroes, and various other unknowns....some Nora Roberts. Plus the things to re-read. Anyone read any of those that can recommend either for or against?

I haven't read the Outlander series yet but I know I won't before the end of the year. Between the ankle thing and doing food storage differently this year I'm weeks and weeks behind holiday prep. Please remind me if you remember sometime in 2021 to get to them thnx

The next one was supposed to come out already in 2019, I think, but it got delayed and she's still not even done writing it according to her webpage. I love the series, but it is really time consuming. They are HUGE books. And because there are years between the releases, you kind of forget some things, so I like to read at least the previous book before a new one comes out. Maybe I'll save the re-read of the whole series for the last book...I think there's one more after the one coming out.....whenever.

THNX again. They sound like they're perfect winter reading. Once it's too cold to go outside and the holidays are over I'm going to find some time to do some reading

You know what, you wouldn’t know they are plant based either. They are very rich. I am the only one in my household that is all plant based and that is fine. I don’t force anyone to eat what they don’t want. It was my choice for health reasons. Anyone can make them as well. The only ingredients that some may not have on hand are cashews and nutritional yeast. They are easy and great veggie side dishes in a meat eating home.Happy that you found two recipes that work with your nutritional guidelines.
