The first Thanksgiving I've had in years in my own place was pleasant, and surprisingly healthy. Turkey breast, chipotle cornbread dressing, green bean casserole, and sweet potato casserole were enjoyed, with pumpkin rice pudding following later in the evening. It was a good day.
Today the little guy and I planned a trip to the gun range. We went to the WalMart in Landover Hills, MD, only to discover they had no targets, ammunition, scope bases, or even ear plugs! We braved the Black Friday crowds for nothing. When I tried to leave, I found the idiots at this (6210 Annapolis Road) WalMart had also closed off the end of the one-way lane, which led to shoppers laboriously threading their way through oncoming traffic as they tried to leave the parking lot.
Fortunately, wee man and I stopped at the international foods market next door and picked up 5 kinds of hot sauce and Thai and habanero peppers. After we made it home, we made hot sauce. The first batch (lime juice, vinegar, Thai peppers, habanero, ginger garlic paste, and brown sugar) I let the little guy guinea pig. I dipped a multigrain Tostito in the sauce and handed it to him. He bit, nodded definite approval, and then darted for his water, followed immediately by more water and milk. He's a bit of a drama queen, so I dipped my own chip in, got a hefty coating, and ate.
Wow, this is good- holy ****, that's hot! Despite the worst WalMart ever, it was still a good day. Maybe we can find targets and such tomorrow.
