Quoting: WhiteAngel Only 8 days to go. Thank God I am done shopping. Only have lots of baking and wrapping left to do.  Hey sweet WA. Did that snow arrive yet?

Quoting: Master of Nothing Dayumm 4 pounds of chocolate. Kinda cookies you makin lady? Here's my family's secret, awesome, "cookie truffle" recipe my mom stole off the internet. Blend a box of oreos. Once fine crushed, by hand mix them with a 8 ounce package of cream cheese. Roll them into tiny ballsacks. Melt some of that cooking chocolate and dip the balls real deeplike into the melted chocolate. Put on parchment paper then into the fridge. Easy - and delicious. A family favorite for years now. Sorry for the graphic food porn recipe, i couldn't help myself. :jacklaught: Weekend was okay. Just laid up icing and elevating the ankle. Sore and stiff but the swelling has gone down. Gonna boot up and go to work tomorrow - probably should stay off it longer but i'm broker than an old VCR and need the money. I am making that as soon as hubby gets back from store. He saw this recipe: [link to www.twotwentyone.net (secure)] And asked me to make some and of course I couldn't say no!!! Getting ready to crush some candy canes to sprinkle on top. I was just going to melt some Candy Melts but he wanted white chocolate. They sound so good, and even better with a pic! |

Had delicious Korean food and hung out w/some friends I rarely see last night, which was fun. Friday night I got some of my holiday baking done - or really, just the chocolate-covering for all the caramels, etc., which took almost 4 hours and 4 lbs. of chocolate. Today I have to start on the cookies though. I have tomorrow off as well, but today I'm on a mission and hope to get the majority of it done. Once I get enough coffee in me, that is.  ETA (because my brain is still asleep) - how was your weekend? And how's the ankle? We are doing cookies today too! Trying to get in the spirit a bit...it is seeming difficult this year. Must have missed the sunday cookie making memo. I'm not in the spirit much either. Going to be the first Christmas where i'm by myself. Family wasn't going to be around so i picked up a dog sitting job. Just me Daisy ( scottish terrier ), GLP and some egg nog on Christmas lol |

Quoting: mistersplinter Trying to get in the spirit a bit...it is seeming difficult this year. It will come my friend. It belongs to this time of year. Like a Christmas story, always starting of in some kind of somber mode, but when time progresses, memories and warm moments take over. I have written many Christmas stories over the years, always with a twist of humor. In Dutch. Maybe I will write one in English one of these days.. A time to reflect, a tear and a laugh, knowing things will be alright with all of us.  Please do share some with us English speaking only people of this thread. I have dutch ancestry (a smidgen) and would love to read your Christmas stories. It is all about memories and love. Isaiah 5:20 KJV Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

My mom passed away in May last year. All these first days of everything are difficult. Birthdays, Holidays and especially Christmas. But you know, your loved ones are always in your heart, safely tucked away for eternity. As are the memories, the moments that made you laugh and cry. Talk about those moments during these days, they will give you the boost and spirit you need. Let you know that they are never gone and wanting you to remember them by celebrating life, not mourn death. Through that you will experience the light that they were and always will be. |
