Just as Jim and I shopped at TSC (Tractor Supply Co.), Wal-Mart and the grocery store on Black Friday, so are we doing holiday shopping. I’m going to a restaurant supply store today to see if I can find a trifle bowl. Off to Zoe’s daycare place to pick her up some frozen medallions, to shoe repair to pick up Jim’s brown dress shoes, which have been re-heeled and reconditioned. Exciting shopping, yes? We are going away this weekend so I may have to go to the feed store to make sure Zoe has enough dry food for the duration. She’s not coming, and will do doggie daycare half-days and sleep in her own indoor kennel at night.
I’m staying away from the malls at all costs. Unless airplane seats open up at the last minute, it appears we’ll be spending a quiet holiday at home. So far it doesn’t seem as if we’ll have rescues this year, but that could change any moment so I’ll keep open the option of cooking a nice dinner for friends whose families are far away.
Every year I’m more appalled by the commercialization of Christmas. I remember more innocent times, with caroling and midnight Mass. Here’s to the season. Dee
Cooking with Dee 
I never trusted zoe. She is always trying to eat me. Fortunately she runs slow and tends to wobble a bit.
I just want to play. I thought you liked running and playing chase. All my dog friends do.
