Saturday's Dinner

The Day After Thanksgiving Shopping is one that we never miss, however normally we wait until about 7 or 8 to get up and go. This year, although in Illinois, I felt it was still good to keep with tradition and my mom and I got up and went out about 7 or 8. However, my sister- in -law is one of the CRAZIES ( and of course I mean that in the most loving way possible since she is probably one of the most "normal" relatives I have) who was out at 4:30 or actually I think it was earlier to get something at Toys R Us. Which I guess if we had kids maybe I would feel more compelled to get out and fight the crowds, but normally 7 or 8 we can still get some pretty good deals. Well this year, Kohl's had a fry daddy that was on sale for $5 and I just knew they would sell out quick. Normally they only keep like 10 or 15 at that price and you have to be one of the first ones in to get that deal. Well, never having one but wanting one I decided to play into the After Thanksgiving Sale and get one. Lucky for me, my wonderful sister-in-law said she would pick one up for us so that we didn't have to get out and I am soo glad she did. We have used it for everything from french fries to homemade donuts and it has been well worth our $5. Saturday was a lazy day for us and one thing that we love and were really not looking forward to giving up was Wing Stop, so Saturday I decided to try it. Although the lemon pepper were WAY to lemmon peppery, the regular wings turned out pretty good. I used the Hooters wing batter and sauce and cooked some french fries and although not particularly healthy, it was pretty tasty and about 10 times cheaper than Wing Stop. Nothing will compare to Wing Stop or their French Fries but it is nice to know we have an alternative option.
