Who is polled for these lists of the best of the best of the best stuff? Do I care what anonymous people rank as the best of anything?
While I am not listing the best of anything here--permit me to make a small list of things I learned over the Thanksgiving weekend.
1. Yup--the braised turkey was a winner. Moist dark meat, moist white meat--a recipe to repeat next year.
2. Blatant plug--Odana Antiques in Madison is a total winner mall, especially at the holidays. We freshened our space on Friday--the place was JAMMED with shoppers. Best mall around that stays fresh.
3. Christmas shopping on the internet is great for introverts like me. No crowds, no darting around in indecision and one can control the amount of spending. Except when buying a Christmas tree. Go to a tree farm. You are supporting a family owned business and getting a tree that was not cut down in July.
4. If internet bidding is available for an art auction, use it. There is no use sitting at an auction waiting for a few items. An antique dealer's time is money--and for the few additional dollars you spend in commission for buying from the internet--it allows you to spend your time in worthwhile pursuits.
5. Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback in the whole wide world.
