Thanksgiving 2022

For some reason, this Honeysuckle tasted much better than last year’s Mary’s Free Range Organic Turkey (and at ⅓ the price). The Mary’s, my second year buying one, was grainy and tough. I’ll probably stick with Honeysuckle from now on even though the first Mary’s I made was the best I’d ever tasted.

A New Espresso Machine

My 15-year old Krups espresso machine finally failed (the third appliance to do so this year). Not willing to shell out $1000 (or more) for a higher-end machine, I opted for the $120 DēLonghi at Target. It works just fine.

The New Slow Cooker

America’s Test Kitchen’s recommendations haven’t failed me yet so I went with their choice for a new slow cooker.
