I just tried a teeny-tiny piece of the fruitcake - first of all, it is REALLY gooey and rich, but it's also really good - no rum or liquor.
We'll see what fresh hell awaits today (channeling DR Elmore).
I had a scary nightmare lastnight. Vixdad said I screamed out
Vixdad says this is clearly a message from my unconscious mind that the closets need to be cleaned out
DR vixmom, I thought it was getting better, but I'm not really sure: two days forward, one day backward is what it feels like. I am sick of it, particularly the congestion in my sinuses. Last night was filled with annoying dreams, none of which I now remember. Thatch stays with me through it all.
I hope everyone had a great day yesterday.
Things are becoming a lot better at my end.

Ginny, the recipe looks good and easy. Thank you.
And the word of the day is: MORBIDEZZA!
Two of them went into a closet and never returned
TCB are you feeling better?
For DRs Jan and Vixmom and anyone else who wants to try it:
Cranberry Pork Roast
2 1/2 - 3 pound boneless rolled pork loin
16 oz. can jellied cranberry sauce
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup cranberry juice
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
2 tbsp. cornstarch
2 tbsp. cold water
1 tsp. salt
1) Place roast in slow cooker (crockpot).
2) Combine cranberry sauce, sugar, cranberry juice, mustard, and cloves and whisk together. Pour over roast.
3) Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours, or until meat is tender.
4) Remove roast and keep warm.
5) Skim fat from juices. Measure 2 cups of juices, adding water if necessary to make 2 cups. Pour into small saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat. Combine the cornstarch and cold water to make a paste. Stir into juice; cook and stir until thickened into gravy. Season with salt.
6) Slice or shred the pork and serve with gravy.
This is a holiday favorite in our household.
The children next door got a basketball and hoop yesterday. So now I have the unending pounding of a basketball on the pavement. And you know what? It is glorious to hear kids playing and having fun.
We have many world travelers on HHW and it's great to take trips with them.
Back from lunch at Panera’s with my friends Mike and Dawn. I’ve known Mike since kindergarten.
Bruce is the cherry loaf like a fruit cake?
That was nice. They just offered water while we wait.
My sister-in-law Jo has adopted a 10 week old Yorkshire terrier named Hank. She says Hank bosses the two German shepherds around.

How many of us received turtle doves today?
Good morning from Beets, in South Holland - very near Amsterdam I’m here staying with my pals John and Krijn for 10 days or so. Flights here were fine, I always marvel at the ease of flying around the world.
