Last Friday of November Favorite Thing

I never read any Jane Austen in school. I actually didn't read Pride and Prejudice until after I had seen the 2005 movie version of the book. Once I saw it, I loved it. I read the book, watched the BBC miniseries and eventually my husband bought me the DVD. I know many on the internet are divided over which version (or which Mr. Darcy, more specifically) is better. Now, I am a huge Colin Firth fan but I loved the more recent version. I think it depends on which you saw first. So rent it, or read the book...whatever you choose I hope you love it too!!

Friday Favorite Thing (on Saturday!)

This week, as I was getting ready for Thanksgiving I made my grandma's recipie for cranberry relish. Growing up, grandma would always make this for me because she knew it was a favorite. After I got married, she sent me recipes for all of the things I loved that she made. This week's Friday Favorite is dedicated to Grandma G!!

Grandma's Cranberry Relish

1 package fresh cranberries (12 ounces)
2 - 3 apples (your choice, I like Braeburn)
1/4 cup crushed pineapple
1 cup sugar

Chop cranberries and apples in food processor. Combine in lage bowl with pineapple and sugar. Done!! It is best if made several hours before hand, will keep for a few days (it never lasts when I make it 'cause I eat it all up!)

Friday Favorite Thing

In an effort to have more frequent blog postings, I decided to have a recurring theme. You know, some blogs do "Flickr Fridays" or "Flashback Fridays", we'll I'm going to do Friday Favorite things where I'll post some of my very favorite things, hence the title!!

My first Favorite Thing are my Ugg slippers. I know,Ugg's are SO out, but I love these slippers.

This is actually my second pair, my first pair lasting about 3 years before I pretty much wore them out. From around November to March, if I'm at home, I'm wearing my Uggs. O.k., there was that one time I wore them to the grocery store, but that is it, I swear!! Don't judge me :) My feet are always so cold, and these slippers keep them nice and warm.
