I finally made a decision on what to make and bought ham for Christmas dinner.

I was gifted a steel cabinet for my pet food pantry project and my gym time paid off (it weighs ~240lbs). I was able to move it about 3/4 of a block, get it down our big ass city curbs (no seriously why are they so high?) load it in my car, unload it, and set it up! 
very excited! It’s a husky cabinet, those are like $400!

Lucky! As a 9-5 office stiff, I have to be in today, but we all know not much is getting done.

TV: I found an eye doctor office that looks like they have experience with my problems. I filled out the form to request an appointment and they called me back just a minute ago and now I have an appointment with a doctor who sounds like she knows about my issues and can give me treatment options other than ‘eye drops before bed’.
TC: My appointment is in April. I am on the cancellation list though.

A pound of dried blackeyed peas is slightly more than will fit in my big casserole with a travel-safe lid, so I had to eat the extras for lunch today.
TC: I need another one with a good lid for the collards, and I don’t have one.

a friend reached out to reschedule the lunch we had been planning in Oct, and let me know that she was down in the US last month and got me dried mandarin oranges from Trader Joes.
This is a personal brand I can certainly get behind, especially since I finished the bag I was hoarding just a couple of weeks ago.

Dried mandarins? Excuse me? Tell me more.

I cannot find them in Canada.
Whole segments of mandarin oranges are dried and lightly sugared. They are just the right amount of chew. USians simply do not appreciate what they have.

I don’t think our local TJs carries these - but I will have to look.
