The Thanksgiving Tag!

I haven't done a tag in a while... so here is one that I found right here
1. What is your favorite Thanksgiving side dish?

Hmmm tough choice... but I really love Stovetop Stuffing. I think I've blogged about this before... I don't care how fancy your stuffing recipe is... chances are I will like Stovetop better. My mom also makes great Sweet Potatoes with walnuts on top... so yummy! 

2. What is your favorite Thanksgiving dessert?

Hmmm I feel like this always changes. My sister makes a really good pumpkin Tres Leche cake... and anything my cousin Amanda cooks. She is a professional chef, so whatever she makes is just amazing. I have a feeling she might be working this year... which is sad, but she's amazing! 

3. What does your ideal Thanksgiving outfit look like?

I like Sweater dresses. It's fancy but you can still wear leggings so its still comfy. 


4. What is your best Thanksgiving memory?
When I was like 5 I believe my parents and my sister and I went to the Thanksgiving Day Parade and I had on this really cute purple jacket with a black fur collar and one of the clowns in the parade said "I like your jacket!" And I was star struck! Lol. And still TO THIS DAY I remember it and it was amazing! 

5. Least favorite Thanksgiving dish.

Probably vegetables... but maybe this year I'll try some. There was one year I kind of liked Turnip. 

6. Do you have any quirky Thanksgiving traditions?

Nothing Quirky really... I kind of have to see A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving though! I think I'm going to convince my parents that having KFC the day before thanksgiving should be a tradition... because last year the day after Thanksgiving my mom and I went to Staten Island too look at dresses for my sisters wedding. We didn't get home too late... but we were kind of exhausted and my mom just said "What should we have to eat" and I said "KFC!" And it was the best meal ever. I think the day before Thanksgiving might work out better for us though! 

7. Where do you and your family usually celebrate Thanksgiving?

Usually at my house. The year we went to the Macy's Parade we went to my Grandparents house. 

8. What do you love most about Thanksgiving?

I love how loud my house gets. Everyone is talking and laughing and having a good time and it gets really loud and its kind of fun! 

9. What do you think has changed most since the first Thanksgiving?

Shopping definitely! I don't think the pilgrims intended for people to stop actually even having Thanksgiving so that they could go shopping early... although, I think the Pilgrims were just in it for maize... so I'm sure they would appreciate the deals. 

10. What are you thankful for?

Friends, family, dogs... the fact that I seem to have good luck winning random contests, the Target Dollar Spot and other dollar stores, the leaves that are changing and the nice weather we've been having, Alexander Hamilton, the Obama Biden Memes... lol. There's a lot I guess. 

And here is the Addam's Family Values Thanksgiving scene. Its my favorite. Here it is! 

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...
