Happy Friday

After getting up and baking yesterday for Thanksgiving, I was glad to sleep in this morning!  I was in charge of desserts at my family's Thanksgiving Celebration yesterday!  I LOVE to bake, more than I love to cook an actual meal.  Of course I made the Traditional Pumpkin Pie.  I made that with my niece when I babysat her on Tuesday!  Oh she had a great time helping me bake.  Like most toddlers, they want to help.  She is 3yrs old and loves to help me do anything!  She was very eager to pour things into the mixing bowl and stir for me!  Love spending time with my niece!  I told the family that Rylee made the pie, but they all knew who would have done what without saying, but it made my niece feel great them thinking she made the pie all by herself.  Also, with most toddlers, they think they are more independent than they really are.  Anyhow, I also made an Autumn Cheesecake.  Basically it's an apple pie, on top of a cheesecake.  That was REALLY good.  However, the only thing that was a problem with that, was the crust.  Next time I make it, I'll be using a regular crust recipe and not the crust recipe that came with the recipe.  It was WAY to thick and hard to eat!  You can go to Allrecipes.com and type in Autumn Cheesecake.  Or my cooking page on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/differentgoodeats for the recipe!  I love sharing with everyone recipes I find and try out.  It's a great feeling to be asked for a recipe!  I made these respberry thumbprint shortbread cookies for a family gathering back in the Spring.  Oh they were delicious!  One of my Aunts, she makes cookies for weddings.  She asked for the recipe to use for a wedding!  That made my day!  Thankfully, it was a recipe that I just made that morning and it was so simple I was able write down the recipe for her on the spot.  I double checked when I got home and I was right!

Online Shopping Vs Location shopping

There is already talk of Black Friday deals being leaked!  To me that just seems crazy and the corporate America we live in!  I think it's absolutely RIDICULOUS that there are going to be stores, other than the ones who seem to never close, that are opening up early for "Special holiday" deals!  I refuse to go shopping on Thanksgiving!  I'm hoping many other people refuse, but since they are open, people are going to go.  That just saddens me!  Black Friday is a whole other store.  It saddens me, people start camping out the night before, on a HOLIDAY, to get items for themselves or for others.  I refuse to go out on Black Friday, but that's mainly because I don't like dealing that many people, let along that early in the morning.  I did it one year, just to see what the hype was all about.  Well, it made me wonder more about people and all I got out of it was tiredness and a short lived laugh at other's expense!  I did have some early morning fun family, that was about it!  With all that said, I will check out the online deals.  I won't be getting up early in the morning to shop online, well unless this baby growing in me wakes me up and I can't get back sleep!  I'm a fan of the internet.  However, there still are some benefits to location shopping, yet again to online shopping!  You just have to do your research.  Where are you getting the better deal, do you need this item right away, is it being sent somewhere (which online shopping can save your sometimes in shipping if it's a gift & most sites offer some sort of gifting), am I closer to go pick it up, do I get free shipping, is this item not available near me, personalize item, am I to lazy to go to the store and SO on.  Every purchase varies on whether you should get it online or just suck it up and go to the store!
