BEEN GONE

Wow, I cannot believe I have been gone for almost three weeks. lol. Had to go down to Nashville to help my son unpack and put up decor and boy has it been one more job.
While down there we went to the Amish and got to see the stir off for their molasses. I got some jugs of them to bring home. We don't have any up here in Ky. like they make. Whole foods in Franklin, Tn. has some that are sold in jugs that come from outside of Nashville but these were made fresh right there and still warm. They are so good mixed with some soft marg. or butter and put between a biscuit for breakfast. They also make such good ginger bread also.
While at the Amish we got the recipe for the snow ball candy again. It is different I think from the last one we got.
If you love yard saleing then go down to Nashville in the spring and fall to all the community yard sales. It is like Christmas. You don't know what you will get and all of it is all like new or most of it is still new in the packages. All kinds of good stuff.  But don't go looking for clothes because all they have is home decor and cooking stuff and bedspreads and curtains and the list goes on and on and nothing is expensive at all. This stuff comes from two hundred to five hundred thousand dollar homes. But you had better have a truck because you see so much you want to buy that you can't haul it in a car.  I love to go look for cookbooks. I got one that I had bought my son for Xmas from Sam's Club this past Xmas and only gave $3.00 for it and it new and I gave $25.00 for it at Sam's. Lamps any kind and shape. Any kind of flower arragments you can think of. lol.
Of course while there he took me to Jason's Deli for lunch. I still cannot get over how big the baked potatoes are. We get the poco one and it has to be 1 foot or more long. It even has grilled chicken on top of it and so very good. Of course you get free ice cream. lol. And their gingerbread mini muffins are to die for. I really enjoyed eating there.
 Also we went to Golden Corral to eat and I got some cajun shrimp with scampi sauce over rice made to order and I believe it was the best shrimp I have ever ate. But boy was it hot. I am going to make me some at home. Finding a good scampi sauce recipe is hard to find tho. We went to so many different places to eat while there that I think I put on a few pounds. lol. And me supposed to be dieting.
But it is always good to get back home except for getting ready for this bad weather they are giving. I can't believe how fast summer and fall has gone. Now it is almost time for Christmas and all the stores have all the Christmas stuff out and it makes you feel like you are late in buying any type gifts and Oct. not even over with.
I will be trying to catch up with putting new recipes I got on here. I guess everyone needs some time off. lol. Not trying to promote any of the restaurants I mentioned just love eating at new ones in that area.
