Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow..........

It started snowing on Tuesday lunchtime, and as I am writing this on Wednesday night, it's still snowing.  Suffice to say we have a little bit of snow 🙄 We had over a foot on the ground first thing Wednesday morning and hubby blew out the driveway twice on Wednesday.

So in case you want to see a little snow, here you go!  The one good thing about the snow, was that it was reasonably light, not the wet heavy stuff.

The funny thing though, is the weather forecasters are saying that it's not 100% certain we'll get a white Christmas 😕  Personally I would say we are 100% guaranteed to have a white Christmas but what do I know 🤷

Recently in my feed I have had video's popping up from Spud Brothers.  They sell baked potatoes with different toppings in the UK.  You can see them on Facebook here.  I love baked potatoes, and have been craving them since seeing these video's. 

Wednesday night seemed like a baked potato type of night, so here is my version.  Now I only had small potatoes, so baked a few smaller ones in the air fryer for 40 minutes.

Sliced them in half, added a little butter and baked beans on the top, just regular Heinz Beans in Tomato sauce.

Then grated cheese on top of them.  They were so good and tasty, and totally not healthy...other than a lot of fibre!!

On Tuesday we had some errands to run and ended up in the north end of the city.  We had a gift card to a restaurant in the north end, so had our lunch there.

Hubby got a chicken sandwich and fries.

I had fish tacos with fries.  No spice at all and even the fries were good.

Both our meals were tasty.  We had a $50 gift card and I had a $10 off card as well.  I had water to drink, hubby had a diet Pepsi or Coke.  The bill came to the high $40's before she took the $10 off.  I told the server to keep what was left over from the gift card as her tip.

BUT......if I had, had to pay for this meal in cash, she would have got no tip.  She had a bad attitude, and I don't normally reward people for bad behaviour......just saying!!

So there you go weather and a couple of meals......my rip roaring exciting life 😂

We are busy with some other things, which I'll tell you about in a couple of days.

Busy Saturday running errands.......

Spent most of Saturday running errands. Had to pick up the rug we bought, that I posted about here.  As it is 9' x 12' it means we have to clear out the dining room to put it down.  The dining room is 10' by 15' but as we have the large table that seats 8 we were finding the 8' by 10' rug in there too small, length wise.  I will post a photo when we have it laid.  The good thing about this rug it is top quality and if we move it will go anywhere.

I ordered dh some winter boots on December 26th, and to cut a long annoying story short two pairs finally turned up on Friday, so had to go and pick one of the pairs up.  Needless to say I don't have a lot of good things to say about this company, especially the online division of this chain.  Their online customer service division sucks!!!

Dh wanted to call into a store called Sayal Electronics to pick up something.  Now that type of store typically bores me, however I found it very interesting as they had all sorts of educational toys in there, to do with science.  I picked the three older grands up a new place mat each, a dinosaur one, a map of the world one and flags of the world one.  Told dh we need to go to the bigger store's nearer Christmas as they have such interesting things in it for the kids.

Went to Walmart and bought a new doormat, it's not the best quality but it'll do for the winter:

Then hit up the dollar store to get all the birthday cards for February and a craft to do with Nora next Friday as she has a PA day at school.  Love the dollar store for things to do with the kids without spending a small fortune.

We had lunch out at a place called Jack Astor's.  We haven't been in that restaurant for years, but were pleasantly surprised at the quality of food.  We had Crispy Broccoli Caesar Bites, as we had a coupon for a free appitizer, they were greasy and would not order again, luckily it was free.  Dh had the Chicken Clubhouse with fries and I had the Chicken and Goat Cheese Sandwich with salad for our mains.  Both were excellent, top quality and would order again.  Here is the menu.  I will say we found the place expensive; $3.99 for a soda/pop is crazy.  I always order water, dh won't.

All in all we had a good few hours running errands and spending time together, with me doing what I love to do, shop 😊
