If I were forty years younger?

They have been a daunting task for the first time in all these years, and tons of culinary delights, I AM DONE! If I do make it through another holiday season, everyone will come here and bring the goodies. Ya know, the sad thing is, that no matter how many baskets I whip up, my Mr. and I can only have a bite or two, but I do so enjoy it.

Thanks for asking and thinking of us.

Merry Christmas and God Bless.

I should guess that few really have the time to give a hoot about my kitchen pleasures. Though I had a major failure yesterday and didn't get to a batch of raspberry torts in time. Now they are raspberry pucks. Birds love em though. You should just see these nits out here scatterin these crumbs everywhere.

Does anyone ever see Northern Orioles in this area? I realize they are migratory, but in the years we have lived this far north, we have yet to see any. Cardinals sure do stand out in the frosted white thickets and brambles, making an early morning visit to eat worth the rising.  Well, thought I was finished with holiday goodies but need to whizz and  whir a bit more today, then we'll be heading south in a few days. You's will get a big break from my "mile long" rantings then. If I can access this service from there however, I might be able to catch up in St Louis. If not, oh well... it only takes a day to recover a "soap's" story line.

Merry Christmas and God Bless.
