Hope you had a better sleep last night! It's generally hit or miss around here. Sleep can be elusive for sure. No real plans today except a little puttering around. Need to kick Christmas shopping into high gear. Yay!
We had a great T'giving with my son, dil, and her family. There were 3 little ones around and that always makes the day more entertaining.
Back to the regular grind today. I've got some work to do in the barn. Kidding pens need to be spruced up and prepped for upcoming use. Yay! I need...

Fresh pineapples are on sale at my store. I bought two today and am tempted to go back for more. I'm trying to decide if I should dehydrate them or can them? Anybody have experience with either?
Sounds like a good start. I've made it before by cooking the squash and extras until really soft and reducing the broth a little at the same time. Then I hit it with the immersion blender and added some cream to thicken and make it yummy (maybe even a little softened cream cheese if you like...
