November Currently

It's November!  That means it's time for a new Currently Linky party hosted by Farley.

Oh' boy fourth grade
Here's my Currently:


Listening:  The wind has been blowing like crazy all day!  I am so thankful that we haven't lost power.  But, I live in western WA and it is that time of year that this (and rain) happens a lot.  One of my facebook friends put it best:  Goodbye sunshine.  See you on July 5th. 

Loving:  I love TV.  My newest favorite is the show The Blacklist on NBC.  James Spadder plays bad oh so good!  He is a criminal mastermind that is working with the FBI to catch the worst of the worst criminals. 

 
 
 
Thinking:  My sweet hubby's birthday falls on Thanksgiving this year.  I don't know what I will get him.  Ideas?
 
Wanting:  Next week's lesson plans completed...no explanation need :) 
 
Needing:  Cooking breakfast on Saturday morning is a tradition in our house.  I don't do it any other day unless it's a holiday or my parents are visiting.  I also cooked lunch too.  Now, my kitchen needs to be tidied up.  I hate doing the dishes.  My hubby usually does them if I cook, but poor thing had to work this afternoon.  I'll get to it in a bit....
 

A Yummy Pin:  Chocolate Gravy...I know some of you might be thinking WHAT?!?!  I grew up in MS and I love chocolate gravy.  I love it on biscuits or dunking a doughnut into it.  It is really delicious!  This pin says that you could eat it with eggs...I wouldn't suggest it.  That sounds gross!  But, it is a great accompaniment to a wonderful carb of your choice.  Here's the link to the pin :)
 
If you grew up in the south you (should) know about Chocolate Gravy. All it is: 5 Tbsp unsalted butter, 3 Tbsp flour, 3 Tbsp cocoa powder, 4 Tbsp sugar, 1 cup milk, 1-1/2 tsp vanilla. Drizzle this velvety, sweet sauce over a hot buttered biscuit, angel food or pound cake or over a bowl of strawberries. Delicious!
 
 
Have a blessed night and enjoy falling back :)

  1. Soo..you had me at chocolate gravy! Those 2 things don't sound like they go together, but it sounds yummy so, I'm in!
    I never know what to get my hubby for his birthday either! I usually end up taking him out to eat somewhere or making a nice dinner and homemade cake!

    1. Thanks for stopping by! Yes, the Blacklist is soooo good! I am convinced that James Spadder is her dad or uncle.

  4. My mom's birthday sometimes falls on Thanksgiving too-I don't have any suggestions, I think boys are harder to shop for! :) Is Black List that good? I missed it but I really like James Spader-maybe I'll have to catch up.

  5. I'll have to watch the Black List. There has been quite a few new good shows on this fall. My new favorites are Betrayal for the suspense and Trophy Wife for the comedy. I love cooking breakfast but my husband doesn't really like breakfast food. So I love when the holidays come around and I can make casseroles and other yummy breakfast treats for family.

    Found your blog through Currently! I am your newest follower. Would love for you to head over and check out my blog…if you hurry, you might be one of the first five people to comment for a freebie!
