Tangentially, now that it is eggnog season, I don't have ready access to fresh eggs. Alas.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Ever since the Christmas the whole household--including the cats, who got spoonsful in their saucers--came down with salmonella, I use Eggbeaters for my eggnog. Not as good, but almost. I miss whole-egg eggnog. But not enough to risk that misery.

I am not a fan of nog. But here's what's excellent -- S. brought me a gingerbread latte just now and I put whipped cream on it. Nom.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You don't have to risk salmonella to make egg nog with eggs--mine are cooked.

Is it mix to put in hot buttered rum? Or is it butter and rum flavoured?
The former. I just used a bunch of it to sprinkle on top of the olive oil pumpkin*/carrot bread I'm making.
*actually two celebration squashes and an acorn. But that would make the name too long.

I have time! I have inclination! Hook me up, Amy! I was thinking about pruning the juniper and using the branches with a little recycled Orvis ribbon for greenery. And I got free poinsettias from the church last night, although I don`t know if they`ll last till Christmas.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Video of the Metrodome collapsing. Whoah.
Wow. Did you notice the dark streak of someone running along the sideline as the roof starts bulging inward? Why would someone be on the floor after they knew the roof was leaking?

How do you nog cooked eggs, ita?
I kind of miss our old yard at Christmas. We had several types of waxed-leaf evergreen shrubs, two holly trees, several cedars, a huge old white pine for branch sprays and cones, plus dried needles to make miniature wreaths, and an immense old scuppernong vine we pruned every year, that I used the trimmings from to make my own grapevine wreaths.
Of course now we get windfall balsam and fir twigs and branches, so those are good for sprays and edgings and things, too.

They're having a mumblecore screening at the bar. I was only a matter of time, I guess.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm making cookies. I got a cookie press a few weeks ago with a Williams Sonoma gift card, so I'm having fun with that.
