tis’ the season

It’s been a very long time since I last blogged and I hope I haven’t lost all 5 of my readers. Things have been hectic around the Scott & Bina house. I just started working another job at Dillards. No worries it’s just seasonal and I did the same job last year so it’s doable. School ends next week and I couldn’t be more excited! Hooray for Christmas break!!

Last week Scott, Porkchop and I had Thanksgiving dinner at Natalie and Greg’s house. It was really nice but I’m hoping that we get to go to Ohio next year. Maybe I can be Scott’s mom’s Su Chef next year. I cooked the turkey, stuffing and made several desserts. Scott wanted me to make his mom’s recipe of Sugar cookies but I refused to ask her for the recipe b.c

a. That’s something Scott needs to keep and have to look forward to from his mommy
b. I didn’t want to mess them up
c. annnd most importantly, I hear Mrs. Young has to make 50 billion of them and I just don’t think I’m cut out for that

I just stuck to the basics. I made the biggest turkey I have ever made…22lbs I brined the turkey 48 hours prior to baking it, with salt and bay leaves. I also buttered it up and basted it with a butter chardonnay sauce for the first 3 hours every 30 mins. FUN! Ooooh also I made cornbread stuffing because Scott’s never had it.

I haven’t posted any Porkchop videos lately but I think this one will make up for the lack of videos. I think this one is by far the cutest!

Told ya soo! Scott and I lucked out on Mr. Porkchop…by far the best dog! hehe I have a biased opinion but still.

Yesterday we took our cheesy Christmas pictures so be looking out for those in the mail. Scott was really excited to dress up and take them…okay not really but he was a team player. Ooooh and we also put up our Christmas tree. It was a hand down from one of my old roommates which means it was free…yay but I’m not in love with the super colorful lights …I like white lights annnd all of my ornaments are pink lol. Scott also joined in on one of my other Christmas traditions…buying a new ornament yearly. Maybe by the time we’re in our late 30’s we will have weeded out all of the pink ones with the yearly ornaments. I got him a PDA(computer phone) ornament which says on the screen “can’t live without PDA” and I told him it was a double bonus b.c PDA also means Public Displays of Affection sooo win win for Scott… lol I know I’m a dork. Scott picked me out a baking ornament for me, it’s really cute.
