shopping. I wanted a new desk for Eric's room. I didn't want anything fancy or expensive because I don't know how long we plan on keeping it there. Honestly, it's just a desk for the iMac and all of Cosme's flight simulator gadgets. I basically just needed a flat surface with no drawers or frills. That's what I got and I also got a great deal on it.
I saved $0.99. Beat that. I love sales.
I was looking up Christmas present options on Amazon. This one probably won't make it in time.
I also had to pick our new insurance plan yesterday. I got to the vision section and was comparing two different plans. I can't decide which one is better.
Should I pick the one that's 20% off? Or the one where I only pay 80%?
They both seem like decent deals...
And so I won't leave anyone hanging, I think I picked another one and I don't even know what the percent off was referring to. I think it was lens stuff.
I probably won't get any online shopping done today. I've already started making cornbread for dressing. This will be my first time to do homemade. I mentioned Twomama's recipe to Cosme the other day and that I'd try to do it. I pulled out the recipe and was totally confused. It calls for 1 quart of biscuits (or 20), 1 quart of toasted white bread (8 slices) and 1 quart of corn bread mix (3 packages of yellow Martha White). That's sounded crazy. I was pretty sure Cindy makes it every year and I really couldn't see her baking all those biscuits. I asked her about the recipe and she has basically the same recipe but Myra told her to just use 6 packets of Martha White white cornbread mix the day before making the dressing. I couldn't find Martha White white packets but I did find Gladiola From the makers of Martha White. Instead of 6 packets though, I'm making 3. Well, 4 just to be safe. So yeah, that's what's happening this morning. I'm prepping Cindy's take on Myra's version of Twomama's dressing. It might sound a little confusing but not near as confusing as a "quart of biscuits"... or, as a vision plan might word it, use either 4 cups or 1 quart.
