I got a few gifts for a friend but that was it. I'm thinking tomorrow will be a shopping day. I've been thinking of getting a new phone but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Now, I think I should before tariffs hit.

I need a few things. I only buy a gift for 1 person and he is getting money

Ham and beets for an early dinner.

 

[Wonderer67]

Best to walk away..... hahahaha

Yeah, I know.

But at least i am aware that a shitstorm will descend when I make those cookies!

 

[Wonderer67]

Oh thats good..... I thought we were too..... then I got scared.... people get very passionate about their teams..... esp in a rivalry.... and osu and michigan have been rivals a looonnnggg time

Yeah sorry if I misconstrued that. I thought yoh were serious. Whoops!

 

[Wonderer67]

Morning/nearly afternoon all of you.
It's a sleeping in day here. Woke with bad headache at 5am. Letting some drugs kick in, and maybe having a lazy day, except maybe dealing with some more snow, again (still???) ( It hasn't stopped since Thursday... ).

Oh geez. Hope you are feeling better.

That sounds unfun.

The game was actually a nail biter. Sloppy at times, but hard fought by both teams. Neither one could get the upper hand. A couple of missed field goals, four interceptions (split evenly), and two misfires by MU down around the goal line.

The NCAA is sure to bring the heat. This wasn’t the only game where there was extracurricular activities after the game…just the highest profile. I see a heavy hand coming down, but honestly, this starts with the coaching staffs.

Anyhow…hope everyone had and is having a great long weekend. Sat by the fire last night in the 32ish chill! (0c for our European members) came in and watched a quirky film Ameile’. Formula 1 on tap for this morning and then back off to moms to finish off any leftovers that might be hanging around.

Now..the long countdown to the fat man…SinterKlauss, Der Weinachtsman, Pére Noél, Dedt Moroz, La Befana, Kriss Kringle, and Father Christmas (love that Kinks song)…take your pick! The MZ: Black Forest winter…

Sounds like a great weekend!!

Father Christmas by the Kinks is my absolute favorite Christmas song.

Cook the date mix until thick and dates broken down.... add in rice crispness and then roll in coconut....sorry upside down...hahahaha

Awww. I love that.

That is one weathered recipe card. That’s a sign it’s good!

 

[Wonderer67]

Our connection with the past. Me it's lasagna, fudge, bread.... All of them I must avoid but I do remember

They sounds like really tasty recipes!!

This is the Scottish Fruit Cake recipe. It’s called a Dundee Cake. I use Scotch.

That cake does look good. I have an aversion to fruit cake. I don’t like the old ones with candied fruit. Yech!

I like the first sentence of the recipe.

“A traditional Dundee cake comes from Dundee, Scotland, which is quite simply how this cake got its name.“

I pale in comparison to the others. But thank you.

Now if only I could get my garden to grow! Gardening sucks in FL.

Outdoor gardens are a challenge…
but there are indoor plants that are easy and responsive to light and dark… try oxyalis .. I catch them opening in the morning . Very moving.
