I love to try new recipes. I find if I don't sit down and make a list of new recipes to try or old recipes to re-explore, I will not make an effort to try the foods that sound delicious to me. So that is what I decided to do. I am going to make a list and try to accomplish everything on it during the month of November.  On my November Recipe Challenge, I have recipes ranging from breakfast to dessert and everything in between.  Of the foods listed, the only one I have already made is the White Chicken Chili, which I make every Halloween.  As I write this, it is very early on Halloween Day, so I will be making the chili tonight.  I can't wait:-) Breakfast- Easy Quiche Recipe With Bacon and Spinach Soups/chili- White Chicken Chili Pizza/Sandwiches- Margherita Flatbread Pizza Appetizer- White Pizza Dip Salad- Ruby Tuesday Pasta Salad Entree- Parmesan Crusted Chicken Veggies- Melting Sweet Potatoes Breads- Cheesy Garlic Bread seafood- Golden Seared Cod with Herb Butter Sauce Crock-

 I am always looking for fun things to do in the area.  I decided to take it further and see what events are occurring in North Carolina in a specific month.  Let's look at just a few things happening in November 2024 in NC that you may enjoy.

Well, it is that time again.  Time to plan a party.  It is October, and the choices for fall parties are endless.  I decided to plan a pumpkin carving party for October. Let's start with the pumpkins.  You can elect to provide the pumpkins or ask your guests to BYOP (Bring Your Own Pumpkin).  I have decided to ask folks to bring their own pumpkin and pumpkin carving tools.   Pumpkin carving can be messy, so you must prepare an area that allows easy cleanup.  Ideally, I will carve my pumpkins outside, but if that is not an option, you have to cover your table and have containers to retrieve the pumpkin seeds for roasting later and another container for the pumpkin's guts. Let's head to Amazon to see what we can find to set up our pumpkin carving station. 1- Pumpkin Carving Masterpieces: Halloween Pumpkin Carving Stencils, 140 Patterns Unique Easy and Complicated 2- Pumpkin Carving Stencils: 50 Halloween Templates for Carving Pumpkins 3- CANDLE CHOICE Halloween Pumpkin LED Li

  Here are a few books that caught my eye that will be released in November 2024.   1-The Sunflower House Historical Fiction, Romance, WWII, Holocaust by Adriana Allegri Release Date: November 12, 2024 Good Reads gave it 4.61/5 stars   Family secrets come to light as a young woman fights to save herself, and others, in a Nazi-run baby factory—a real-life Handmaid's Tale—during World War II. In a sleepy German village, Allina Strauss’s life seems idyllic: she works at her uncle’s bookshop, makes strudel with her aunt, and spends weekends with her friends and fiancé. But it's 1939, Adolf Hitler is Chancellor, and Allina’s family hides a terrifying secret—her birth mother was Jewish, making her a Mischling. One fateful night after losing everyone she loves, Allina is forced into service as a nurse at a state-run baby factory called Hochland Home. There, she becomes both witness and participant to the horrors of Heinrich Himmler’s ruthless eugenics program. The Sunflower House is a

  What is my favorite flavor of ice cream? That is a tough question because there are so many delicious flavors from which to choose. I guess my favorite flavor is chocolate, although my favorite emotional flavor is Butter Pecan. My mom loved Butter Pecan ice cream, so I think of my mom when I indulge in that ice cream flavor.  When my dad made ice cream, he used an old crank ice cream maker. I remember him putting in the cream and adding salt around the sides of the machine. I, too, remember him using the hand crank. It seemed to take forever, but he kept cranking. I recall in the initial ice cream phase turning the crank was easy, and as the ice cream thickened, I remember my dad working hard to produce an ice cream treat for the family.  My mom loved ice cream. She loved a hot fudge sundae as well. I recall going to Woolworth's with her, where she would, on rare occasions, allow herself to enjoy her beloved hot fudge sundae. As much as she loved this treat, she would worry about
