Now we are doing a few pick up, put away, things each day. Garbage truck comes tomorrow so we are concentrating on getting the trash ready. We always go thru the gift paper trash.
This weekend there was Open House in a new housing development off Route 5 that we wanted to check out. It's a big area and they only had a duplex ready to view.
We aren't interested in a duplex but we took the tour anyways. One floor, 2 bedrooms, open area for kitchen, living, dinning area. Loaded with closets. Beautifully staged with furniture and fancy decos. I could really enjoy that home! (NO STAIRS) But Bob wasn't happy with the basement as they installed the furnace and water heater smack dab in the middle of the floor. The two car garage looked skimpy compared to what we have now. The other duplex had three bedrooms. It was very nice too. Having finished that we drove over town to shop.
We were out of red and green ribbons, might as well get them for 50% off for next year. While we were out we decided to look at one of those FoodSaver machines. We have been talking about purchasing one. Bob had researched them on tutorials and knew what was advised. We ended up bringing one home.
It was interesting to watch the vacuum process. Bob made the bags up and sealed them. I dished up the food to seal. We wanted to try everything in the kitchen. So we have white turkey, dark turkey, stuffing, gravy, sweet potatoes, rolls, cookies, Balish rolls and bagels. We kinda smashed the Balish rolls; too much vacuum. There is a learning curve. Then he wanted an open potato chip bag to reseal; none in the house. So he took a sandwich baggie to try. He just wanted to keep going. Wonder how long the enthusiasm will last.
Then I didn't have room in the freezer so I took out the big box of Ice Cream Cake from Betsy's birthday last week. (we celebrated early) I cut wide slices and we sealed it up. Wait till Betsy sees that! Ha, it doesn't take much to entertain some folks.
Now it's time for supper and we have everything sealed up that's cooked. We are grabbing a coat and heading to Mickey D's.
