Mama was right.

This is what happens when you go to the doctor for a blood draw and they can't find a vein. The vampires stuck me twice with nothing to show for it. Did I mention that I had to go to the draw fasting? After they sent me on way and told me to drink, I went to Kroger to get Carl some aspirin. Here's what ended up in my basket.
I don't really know why I posted two pictures except that maybe I am still stunned what all came home with me. I ate several donut holes on the way home. At home I had a piece of apple pie with a Captain Crunch chaser. Yum.
I went back to the doctor today. Two more sticks and finaaallly success. I had to promise Kaitlin and Marisa that I would come straight home from the doctor today and not go back to Kroger. Which I did!Did I tell you that I forgot to get Carl's aspirin yesterday? The lesson I learned once again is Don't go to the grocery store hungry , that's what mama always told me.

Thaksgiving breakfast

I know most folks think of turkey on Thanksgiving but we also think of monkey bread. We have this for breakfast on Thanksgiving and Christmas. I snapped this shot before most folks were awake so you could see it and not them eating it.

I got my recipe from Carl's sisiter, Marian. We love it.

3 cans of biscuits( 10 biscuit size)
1 1/2 c sugar
3t of cinnamon
12 T butter

Put 6 T of butter in bundt pan. Put pan in the oven and turn on to 350. Cut up biscuits into quarters. Put sugar and cinnamon in a ziplock bag or a big bowl with a lid that seals. Add biscuits and shake. Take pan out of oven and gently add biscuits. melt other 6 T of butter in the microwave, pour on top of biscuits. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Yum!
