A bit late, but I was distracted by trying to decide if I needed the AC or the heat on recently. I also had to laugh at the corner store trying to sell three sticks of firewood for $5.99. Are they magic sticks?

It got cold, so I wanted to cook a bunch, then it got warm and I didn’t. So now I have this big list of food I want to make but not until it’s cold. And I have a list of Thanksgiving things I want to make. And then there’s a list of things I want to make next month. I may have a list problem. Happily, that works in your favor, because here’s your list of grocery deals! Check out the turkey list after the individual stores.
