Thank you so much Mathew! I like learning new things all the time. I know how to can and freeze food and in the past (like with the pandemic) I relied pretty heavily on those things to stay comfortable. I wanted to learn about food dehydration because I have a memory of tearing into a massive jar of dehydrated apples when I was little and I loved them, I also like banana chips and dehydrated mango, So for me this sounded kind of fun! You're right though, it cuts down a lot on food waste too which is a really good thing. Merry Christmas to you too and I hope you have a lovely New Year as well! :)

Aw! Thank you! It's a great little store! I went there when I needed an external hard drive to save my episodes on. It can be a little intimidating but honestly I feel like the staff there is so much more kind and willing to help than at a place like Best Buy (no offense to anyone there, I've just not had a lot of educational experiences like I have at Microcenter).

Nah! Everyone there is so quiet and polite....I mean they're also dead, but still! XD

@@extrahappy9184 Hmmm. I guess because everything there is dead lol. I’ve never been hurt by a dead person, but I have from the living lol. Also, I guess I feel that if I died, the last thing I’d do is chill out with my body. There’s got to be more fun things out there to explore. 😅

@autumnbecomesme You might have seen a cemetery in a video that looked very beautiful, but my experience was entirely different. In my case, the cemetery was frightening, with no green tree gardens, only a lot of dense forest around it. It was an old cemetery, dating back to around the 2000s, and the reality was completely opposite to the beautiful and attractive scenes shown in videos.💀

@@extrahappy9184 Aw! It’s okay to be afraid, but I guess it’s important to ask yourself why. Like yeah, everyone there is dead, and I guess that’s spooky, but so far I’ve not been hurt by anyone there. Also, I’d assume that if I was dead and stuck in a graveyard, unable to leave, I might like to see someone walking along and being happy. Maybe if feel better as a ghost knowing I had some company that day lol. I guess the only advice I can give is something I learned when dealing with my own anxiety, and that’s the power of curiosity. It’s okay to be afraid or angry or sad, but it’s important to ask yourself why and then keep asking why until you figure it out. Sometimes the scary thing is really simple, and other times it’s a complicated question that needs deeper thinking. But it’s usually a good experience regardless. I hope that helps!🙂❤️

@autumnbecomesme you know, Ten years ago, at around 6:00 p.m., I visited my dad's cemetery. During that visit, I felt extremely nervous and scared because I kept hearing unsettling sounds that resembled whispers of hunters or ghosts. These eerie sounds filled me with fear, making it very difficult for me to walk alone in the cemetery.😮‍💨

@@extrahappy9184 This is true, I’ll be posting about it later but it turns out that the cord you plug in was the problem! That battery still needed to go though. It was not happy.😅

I’m glad it was entertaining!😂 life in general can be funny sometimes you just got to laugh at it I guess.

Aw!!!! That’s how I want it to feel!!! Like a little slice of life. I love cooking and traveling, but sometimes hanging out at home is fun too!😂

@@autumnbecomesme Your personality is cool enough, I think I would enjoy anything you put out.

@@Shasta31487🥹Thank you!

Matcha pocky is the BEST!!!😂 I have to be careful because I will happily go through SEVERAL boxes😂. I am just happy the battery didn’t decide to explode while I was editing or something.

Matcha pocky is the BEST!!!😂 I have to be careful because I will happily go through SEVERAL boxes😂. I am just happy the battery didn’t decide to explode while I was editing or something. Electronics are hard (and scary) . God absolutely skipped me for math and computers it seems.😂

@@autumnbecomesme 😂 How scary would that have been if it had exploded!

@@danielday100 I actually switched out the battery. The other one was bulging 😬 which I found out is kind of dangerous lol. But it still isn’t working. So I’m going to try to replace the power chord today. Luckily I recorded the ordeal on my phone, so I’ll try to post that at least on Sunday. Thank you for the well wishes! It feels weird not having a computer!😅

@@adventurecreations3214 Thank you! It kind of needs to be taken care of. I did record a lot on my phone so maybe I’ll release that on Sunday.😂

Everyone should have it on their bucket list! XD

Thank you! I wanted to make a new one, but I've been busy planning for next year, and I just started a new job so it's a lot lol.

@autumnbecomesme Congratulations! I hope you like it. We will be cheering you on from here!

I'm so happy you liked it! Those Reindeer are so sweet.

@@cytumabang9054 Happy Holidays to you too! 😁🎄🎁

@@adventurecreations3214 It was really beautiful and the weather was PERFECT!!!😂

Right?! I laughed out loud multiple times.

Haha! Trust me, if you drove in the car with me you'd be like "Dang she hates so many people!" XD

@@HeatherMarieGibbs Thank you! I’m really glad you liked it!🥰

It helps, I think. I've gotten better about salads within the last few years...but it's still easy to forget them from time to time. XD

Sorry for missing this comment! Thank you for that! I hope you have a great holiday season and a very happy new year! :)

That's smart. Turkey breasts are usually pretty good. I think the problem is that I just don't eat a ton of turkey in general unless it's ground so it ends up living rent free in my fridge and with the rent here in MA that's just not okay lol. XD

Haha! Happy Thanksgiving to you too and a merry soon to be Christmas! You fried your turkey?!?!? That's so brave!

Yep! Clapshot. I had to google it to make sure because it sounds weird, but that's what my mom always called it. It's like mashed potatoes on steroids, it's so good.

@@autumnbecomesme I had never heard of anything like that. Looks so good 😋

Great minds thing alike! :D

O_O I didn't know there was a soda by that name!!! Maybe because you have a bubbly personality? XD

@autumnbecomesme hahah! Love that!

@@ethelnewberry151 Hey! Oh, I was wondering what the difference was! So it’s flat noodles in the Cincinnati ones? Also I’m so glad you liked it! How was the chili o chili mix? I haven’t tried that, but I would like to. I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving and welcome to the Solo club!😂 Also I hope your weather was nicer than here. Icy rain is no fun! Stay warm!

@@autumnbecomesme: Your chili idea was very good. The Chili O Chili mix was very nice & easy. Thanks again.

@@twistknit1 I’ve had Thanksgiving’s like that. Sometimes it’s nice to keep it simple. I hope it at least tasted good!

I love Chicken pot pie. Yum. In Canada we celebrate Thanksgiving in October. Happy Thanksgiving !

@@M-Chad895 😊🙏

You are absolutely right. I bought a little 1-2 serving apple pie, but it was so unimpressive I just didn’t include it.😅 BUT if you want to see a really good dessert you might want to check out my Alton Brown Bourbon Pecan Pie. That was hands down one of the best pies I’ve ever eaten lol.

Haha!!! I’m so glad I’m not the only one who likes it! Yep! I keep it in the fridge till it’s time to serve. I’ve had it at room temp and it’s “okay” but you’re right, nothing beats a nice chilly cranberry sauce.😁

@@CarolLaPlante-z1r 🥺 I’m sorry. Singleness can suck during the holidays, but you are still worth your own love okay? Be kind to yourself too!

No matter what you have, Happy Thanksgiving from Canada❤ By the way I love a good PBJ sandwhich toasted. Delish.

You can make whatever you want for Thanksgiving day. Being single allows you to have whatever freedom you want! Enjoy the day!

@@kimsnader8777 I love your idea!!! So it’s like a bunch of fun appetizers that are all Thanksgiving themed! That’s so smart! I’ll give you a shout out next year if I film something like that okay?😂 Rent is expensive in Massachusetts….even when it comes to fridge space so those food items need to earn their place!😂

@@autumnbecomesme I hear that! I lived in New England for a decade. The good news is, there are great markets and great farms throughout the region to source a wide variety of ingredients! Yes, my holiday plate tends to look like a tasting sampler, and the menu changes every year. I start prepping & cooking a few things in the weeks ahead so the day-of is calmer. I've learned how to make some traditional dishes portion-sized (e.g., "stuffing muffins" and individual desserts like fruit tarts/creme brulee/custard parfait). I'm generous with herbs and spices to give each dish its own personality on my plate. I almost enjoy the leftover week more when I get to be even more creative....roasted veggies end up in pastas, topping salads, dumped into a lentil chili or blended into a soup. Leftover herb stuffing becomes a savory bread pudding or baked up as croutons for a creamed soup. Leftover mashed potatoes will top a pot pie with the last of the poultry. It can be challenging to cook for 1 or 2 when money, space and time are snug, but can be accomplished with a plan!

@@autumnbecomesme OK. Let's see what the next year brings. My holiday table, while quick to assemble the day of, can involve a lot of planning and prep in the weeks leading up. If I can do a half-hour prep every other day for 2 weeks and be ready for a low-stress assemble-and-bake the day of, I will do that.

That’s a good idea! I need to explore more ideas for next Thanksgiving for sure. I got a whole year to research I guess.😂

@@lindaroper6698 I MISS PUBLIX!!!!😭 They had the best Cuban subs I’ve ever eaten. Dang, you’re having a great Thanksgiving! Coconut cream pie is the way to go. Lemon sounds good too!

Hey! I’m sorry, I’m not sure what this is in reference to or what I should change.😅

@@kristy7191 You know, it’s sometimes fun to spend the holidays alone. No one gets mad if you want an extra slice of pie, or to leave out a side you’re not crazy about. You can watch whatever you want on TV (I watch the Macy’s parade and then the National Dog show). It’s kind of fun!😂😅

@@bebopandbecca3096 That is a very good point! You’re right! Because I’ve seen what you listed but no thighs. So weird…🤔

Thank you! I'm so sorry for missing this comment! That bacon is not allowed in my apartment except for special occasions because I would have it every day. Also thank you for the complement!
