my Thursday.

Funny, Los told me the other day, that the smaller the job and the budget, the more likely the project would be more involved and the client more indecisive.

Well.. spot on, Los. Today, the woman comes to see me.. the venue will be again changing back to the Golf course.. but not to do that work before it has been confirmed.. if it's not confirmed.. it will go back to the restaurant... so that pretty much puts that project on hold.

She then went on to pretty much tell me that she is into this new-age type of healing and chakrahs and reiki or something.. and that I had tooth trouble because someone caused me stress in my life etc., and that is how I got rid of the stress! Besides all this .. she is very "granola". I don't know if you use that expression anywhere else.. or if it is typically French Canadian.. but it means they only eat things that are organic, no meat, only grains and beansprouts! Very tempting.. but .. uh.. no thanks! ;)

I think she would have disapproved of my shopping list. I went tonight to get several things for our Canadian Thanksgiving. We are having a couple over with their two kids. Leak soup, stuffed Turkey (no candied potato things with marshmallows--- I always see that in American Thanksgivings on TV.. but have never tried to eat that and haven't ever seen it in a Canadian Thanksgiving supper. (ok.. maybe I'm wrong and it's delicious.. but it just looks kind of weird) and I'm thinking for desert, apples in puff pastry with caramel dribbled on top.. sound good? Or perhaps I will make a dish called "Sex in a Pan" that is called that because people say it is as good as having sex.. well, that's an exaggeration but still pretty good and really easy to make.

Does anyone have a better idea? I'm open to suggestions, but only ones that are both fool-proof and delicious.

Eric came for a short visit tonight. He is in town for the Thanksgiving weekend. He wanted to tell us about his new job. He draws plans for furniture. The designers from a certain company.. such as Thomasville or something.. will send over the designs and he uses those to make autocad drawings so they can produce the furniture with the proper specs. He has only been there 6 weeks and really loves it. He lives in Victoriaville and has been staying at a B&B during the week..and going home on weekends. They don't charge him alot because it is very, very quiet during the week.. but now he is officially going to move.

Well, that's about it. I wish I had something more exciting to tell.. but then I'd have to make it up.

What could be more exciting than "Sex in a Pan"?

"Granola" is a very California thing, too, but Johnny and I are NOT "Granola." Far from it.

Sex in a Pan is very good.

Believe it or not, candied sweet potatoes with marshmellows is delicious. My mother always made that for Thanksgiving. :-)
