At the grocery store. Shopped for my contributions to the Thanksgiving feast and to take advantage of the frozen corn, pea, and green bean sales. I also picked up one box each of chicken broth and stock. I also picked up some hard cheeses.

I didn't walk this today - I cleaned the kitchen. Clutterfree! It gets me that DH tends to be clueless about cleanup - or rather, he tends to be clueless about the follow-through. He'll wash, but he won't put away, or he'll leave it soaking in the sink. He is the anti-fly lady. I also got rid of the ancient condiments lining the baseboard behind the stove, and moved all the non-condimenty things back there. Condiments get nasty quick over the heat of the stove.

    The sweet potato recipe sounds good... I don't like them w/ marshmallows as they are sweet enough already.

    Ah, men. My husband will do the dishes, but then leave puddles of water on the counter, junk in the sink drainer, splashes of food in the sink, etc. Of course, I do the dishes and end up cleaning the counters, wiping down all the cupboards, wiping the refrigerator, mopping the floor, etc.
