Sweet Potatoes

My mother informed me yesterday about the great buy for sweet potatoes at Grocery Outlet. Two three-pound bags are $3.00. I bought one bag today to make candied yams for Thanksgiving. I'll use any leftover sweet potatoes to make a sweet potato pie. As of this afternoon, there were plenty of sweet potatoes left. But, with Thanksgiving fast approaching, they won't last long. It's the lowest price I've seen for sweet potatoes, so hurry to a Grocery Outlet near you!

Ankle Skinny Chino at The Avenue

While visiting my family over the weekend in Vallejo, CA, I stopped by The Avenue and went to my favorite section in the store - the Clearance! My eyes lid up when I saw the red and white price tags at $9.96 and $14.96. I did a quick once-over look and spotted a nice, tan colored pair of pants for $9.96. I thought to myself, "I could use these at this price." I tried them on and loved the way they looked on me. They're sleek and slenderizing from waist to ankle. No wonder they're called ANKLE SKINNY CHINO. I didn't plan on buying anything and just wanted to look, but at that price, I had to buy. There's plenty of Clearance items left if you're interested. But don't wait to long!

Buxton Cell Phone Wallet

I've been using my Buxton Cell Phone Wallet for a few months now, and I love it! No more searching for my cell phone in my purse. Now, I just open the flap on my Buxton Cell Phone Wallet where it stays in place. There's plenty of slots for credit cards and money, too. You can even fit a lipstick, or two, and a compact mirror inside! It's a great accessory all by itself. This was another great buy I found on clearance for $6.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond in San Jose.

Lady Lee Milk

Where can you find good prices for milk? Look no further than Grocery Outlet on Monterey Road in San Jose. A gallon of two percent Lady Lee Milk varies from $2.59 to $2.69, but I've purchased it as low as $2.49. And, it tastes good, too. I'm pleased to say it's never spoiled before the "Use By" date either. You can't beat great-tasting milk at a bargain price.

Baking Turkeys

I finally baked my first turkey today, and it turned out good, juicy and tender, just the way I like it. It weighed just under 10 pounds. I rinsed it thoroughly, removed the parts inside, and rubbed margarine all around it. Then, I sprinkled it with salt and pepper. I baked it at 325 degrees for about two and a half hours. I let it rest about 20 minutes before cutting it. Now, I've got plenty of turkey for sandwiches, soup, and anything else I chose to make with it. I'll use the neck and other pieces for stock later on. All in all, it was a good first effort.

China Rose Is Excellent!

My family and I went to China Rose Restaurant in Milpitas for the first time last Sunday and loved it! Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. And the service was wonderful. Our appetizers came shortly after we ordered. The pot-stickers and spring rolls were delicious, as well as all the entrees and soup. We ordered two family meals with two appetizers and two soups for just under $50.00 and enjoyed each dish with hot tea and water. The Sweet and Sour Pork, Mongolian Beef, and BBQ Pork Fried Rice were especially delicious. I'll definitely be back again!
