Things I Mention

Spilly Jane patterns are 50% off through Dec. 8. She designs lovely, adorable mittens.

Joji Locatelli has a beautiful pattern collection out called The Authentic Collection. I especially love Spectrum.

My lipstick is Colour Pop Ultra Matte in the colorway Tulle from the Foxy set. I am not sure I’ll be wearing this color again, it’s too 90s for me!

Thanksgiving

I abandoned this mac and cheese recipe.

Here’s my mom’s recipe for Florence’s potatoes (aka cheesy potatoes):

Florence’s potatoes

1 bag of frozen hash brown potatoes (cubed), thawed for the most part

1 stick of butter, melted

1 onion, chopped

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 pint sour cream (I use light)

2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese

salt & pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients in large bowl.  Put into a baking dish, and cover with foil.  Cook at 350 degrees for 1 hour – stir half way thru cooking time.
