Outland Adventures

 Hey Y'all! So what was our Thanksgiving like? Beautiful! It was sunny, and near 75 degrees. We had purchased everything beforehand, so we didn't have to go out in the crowds. Our Dinner Menu: Turkey (We bough out of the deli sliced thick , it cost more- but made more sense for us.) Mashed Potatoes Stuffing Gravy Corn Green Beans Cranberry Sauce (Strictly for Chris, cause yuck. He only liked the jelly kind.) Wine (Stella Rosa Watermelon, we hadn't tried it yet. Probably more a Summer wine, but it was good.) Pumpkin Pie Whipped Cream We took 0 food prep pictures, but did film the entire thing: After we ate we fed the farm animals some baby carrots, took a walk, and just relaxed outside. It was a great day. Thanks, The Outlands

 Hey Y'all! The Black Friday Ads this year didn't impress us much. (Are we missing something? Let us know in the comments below.) The one store we plan to do a tiny bit of shopping is Lowes, which we'll just do online sometime in the next few weeks since these specific deals don't end until January. We're totally breaking our own tradition this year, usually we always go out into the hustle & bustle and make a day of Black Friday shopping. The three items we plan to get are: Automotive Retrieval Tool Kit  We just wanted to use ours yesterday, and found the magnet no longer works. Automotive Tire Tool We had a cheaper manual one, bust lost it in Ohio, so it's the perfect excuse to get a new one. 2pk Automotive Magnetic Tray Chris wants these, for both van stuff and working on the laptops or other small electronics. If we had decided which/how much power we wanted we'd be shopping these too: Portable Power Solar Were a little sad to be breaking a tradition...

 Hey Y'all! What are your holiday plans? Share in the comments below. We're all going to my (Amanda) Moms, she wanted to host this year. We definitely have too much food: Ham, Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Rolls, Cranberry, 2 types of Stuffing, a Cheese and Crackers plate, a Charcuterie board, Chips & Dips, Shrimp Cocktails, Banana Pudding, Apple & Pumpkin Pies, a variety of wines.... & I'm sure I missed something. We'll have leftovers, for sure. We'll eat too much, laugh freely, and talk loudly. We'll play games, share stories, and just enjoy getting together. That's what this holiday is for us. Happy Thanksgiving, The Outlands
