But starting today, I present Miscellaneous Monday. A collection of random tidbits from books, the web, happenings in town, and stories/facts I have been told. Lets get started...
- For all the Harry Potter fans out there, it appears J.K. Rowling is NOT going to write any more Harry Potter books. I thought this was obvious, but maybe some people think J.K. Rowling is like Brett Favre....
- In the book Manners, by Kate Spade, she addresses the topic of gift giving. As a reminder for this holiday season, chat with your friends you hope/want to exchange gifts with. No one likes to be surprised when they are presented with a present but haven't purchased a gift. Take the time to figure out who you will be exchanging with so you can purchase/make something thoughtful.
- Get ready to make your Thanksgiving meals early, but not too early. According to the Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS), if you buy a fresh turkey, make sure you don't get it more than 1-2 days before you plan to cook it. Check with your local butcher about ordering a turkey to have it on hand for Thanksgiving Day.
- Apparently Jessica Simpson is now engaged. While her nuptials are unimportant to me, I know many of us are at the time of our lives when our friends are getting engaged. Instead of just commenting on Facebook, go the extra step and send a handwritten note. Never underestimate the joy a person has when finding a handwritten note in the mailbox.
- For an easy dinner try this recipe for turkey burgers.
- For many great recipes, take a look at the Lean Green Bean, written by a friend from college. She has detailed recipes and lots of pictures!
If you have something that should be posted on Miscellaneous Monday, let me know.
-Looking forward to Tuesday!
