Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Feel better, and safe travel wishes to all the Buffistas who are sick and/or traveling. And especially to those who are both.

The dog float was cute. I'm kinda bleh on lots of the floats this year.

Was that the Natural Balance "Havin' A Splash" [link] float? Natural Balance is one of the pet foods that has my seal of approval. I didn't watch the parade, since I was working. But the pictures on the website make it look pretty nifty.

HA to Jesse!

Liese, I wish you were closer. I could sit and knit with you and avoid the forever footballness going on in our living room.

Ha Jesse!

There is no football over here Kat, but I warn you there might be Club Penguin going on.

Franny dressed up as a witch today! I am so enjoying this.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Did you guys know you can take a a sheet of puff pastry and a can of cherry pie filling and have fresh cherry turnovers in no time?

Well, you can.

Cool! Because I have that stuff.

Actually frozen cherries and pie crust, but you know - cherry pie.

Or possibly the ginger cake. If I can figure out how to make caramel sauce.

Currently however I am on Irish Coffee.

I'm cooking up a storm today, going through a bunch of veg and stuff that's been sitting.

What can I do with dried figs? I'm sure I won't eat them as is.

I made cinnamon rolls for New Year's brunch today. They came out ok, but I've had better. I'd try a more promising recipe, but I'm kind of sweet breakfast food-ed out.

Tomorrow I think I'll make some beef barley soup.

Cut them up into yogurt or cereal? Add them to frozen cherries and pie crust for a fig-cherry turnover?

If they are too hard, rehydrate them by pouring boiled water over them and soaking for 30 minutes or so.
