I am heading out shortly for Indian food (yay, one restaurant in town IS open!) and then to see Tangled.

I went running with my sister & niece, while my other niece took my BIL to the ER because he has an infected cut on his thumb and it swelled up ridiculously overnight. Here's hoping it's easily dealt with.

Now I shall bundle pie crusts into the car and shuttle them back up the hill so I can have tea and bread pudding for breakfast before the mad rush of cooking and presents begins in 90 minutes. Argh.

And Yuletide is open, but I shan't be reading anything probably until tomorrow.

Merry Christmas everyone!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Bob has received his kindle, I my food processor (the stand mixer having been returned). Cats are celebrating the season by charging around and fighting like crazy. French toast is soaking.

Merry Xmas, guys, from Iowa.

Hey, that's my line! Where are you, Erin?

Oh, I forgot to ask for advice! I have brownie mix, one candy cane, a chocolate hazelnut toffee bar and some brown sugar. How can I combine them to make a special gift of brownies to take to my brother's in the next two hours?

Crumble up the candy cane (put it in a plastic bag and hit it with a hammer, if you need to), and mix it in with the brownie mix before you bake it. Or crumble up the hazelnut toffee bar into the mix and sprinkle the crumbled candy cane on top.

quester, I'm in Lamars until tomorrow morning. I'm drinking Bailey's on ice while D and M play the new Sonic game M got for the Wii. M also got the new Mickey game, but they haven't gotten to that yet.

I'm supposed to be making an apple crisp, but that take 15 minutes at most, so I'm thinking about trying to nap.

We had a killer prime rib last night for dinner; D's SD can cook really, really well. I've never made a prime rib before, but it was so delicious, I would like to try.

Has anyone ever used Egg Replacer? My brownies are not gelling.
