You have such a good command of the English language but with all respect I feel the need to explain that you are using the word "crappy" wrong!
This isn't a crappy post! It is an excellent, interesting post! Your 'ordinary life' is exotic to others, and you write about it so well!
I am sad that some of your food sellers have gone home and won't return. I am concerned now about your election coming up! And a holiday (with feasting) that lasts for months! All of these things I didn't know until I read your post!
Thank you @donna-metcalfe 😊 I find some many posts like this everyday from my fellow steemians Indonesia and not really have a good attention from others because it's nothing special to compare with travelling and adventure's posts or even with the ulogs and freewrite.
But thanks for considering my post as interesting one 😊 I hardly found interesting subject to post lately except about steemmonsters 😅 about the holiday... while we who live in our neighbourhood have no spesific time to celebrate the Maulid, in other regions of Indonesia, people already start big feast and it would end on january 😅
I read your posts about Steemmonsters, you are doing so well, congratulations!
I know that you and I both like reading @barski's posts. Many of them are about simple things - a dog he meets, or a cat, a tree in the forest, his children's art - simple things but he makes them so interesting to read! I am reminding you of that, and reminding myself too, when I can't think of anything interesting to write about, that it doesn't have to be about big dramatic events! I know I like reading about your neighborhood! It is so different from mine. And I think my life is too ordinary to write about, but maybe it would be very different from someone else's. I need to remember that!
You are absolutely right @donna-metcalfe 😉 your garden story or bird bathing also something simple and common.. but I enjoyed it when posted about that too..
So.. how's the meeting and gathering ..maybe thanksgiving tradition.. something that I haven't seen on tv 😉
I have celebrated a traditional Thanksgiving for most of my life, the kind you see on TV. My husband's mother was a wonderful cook and instead of us spending one year with his family and the next with mine, which is a usual way of handling it, his mother solved it by inviting my whole family to their gathering. And we were happy about that because, well, she was an excellent cook!
His parents passed, and now mine have, so for the past few years we have a quiet celebration, just the two of us. I have never cooked a turkey in my life and I wasn't about to start now! Turkey isn't our favorite anyway. So I bake a ham and make his mother's recipe of dinner rolls - so good! - and we will eat the ham and rolls for a week afterwards!
I never remember to take photos while I am cooking, or of the filled plates before we eat them clean! But tomorrow I will keep my camera handy and see what happens!
Why would bake the turkey when you don't even like it, right 😉 we'd better not waste our energy and money on something for nothing. Thanksgiving doesn't mean has to be a turkey on your plate 😊
I didn't have camera.. but handphone really help ke to documenting my kitchen adventures @donna-metcalfe 😆 now I get used to it because I like to share it on steemit or just a way to remind me that I can cook if I want to 😄
Sooo.. my suggest! Keep your camera close and take some pictures then share it... we'd like to know your life too💖
Why bake a turkey when we don't even like it - exactly!
Oh I had so much trouble with the photos yesterday! I took photos with my camera and my computer wouldn't read them from the camera chip! Then I used my phone's camera and it wouldn't let me email them to myself! But I was determined to get them and I finally worked around these problems. I didn't try to push my luck and take photos of anything else, but I will be posting about the rolls. Stay tuned!
