It's supposed to snow here tonight. only 1-3 inches, but I wish it would snow already.  We had one sunny day and we're back to the gloom of overcast skies. It's been weeks of clouds.  I do not like that

Pizza sounds good DR Elmore.  I have left over turkey and left over pulled pork. Thinking about putting the pulled pork in the freezer.  Hmmm perhaps I'll make a trip to Pizza Ranch.  It's a buffet ad I like being able to choose different kinds of pizza and visiting a really good salad bar

Watch for them to come home DR TCB and ask them what they thought.

I've put the pizza on hold for tomorrow. I'll see what's in the fridge and throw something together. After my Britcoms, I'll crash. I want to get up early and hit the market. Maybe I'll make chili or pasta sauce tomorrow. Or both!

So, I sent Gabe a nice Christmas present and mailed it to his mom's house, as that's where he would be.  I asked via instant messenger if she got it and she kept saying no. I finally told her I'd check the tracking number when I got back to the office to see what happened to it.  She hasn't responded since.  I am concerned that she got it and told Gabe it was from her.  I should have wrapped the card in the package instead of putting it on the outside.   The bad news is I actually lost the tracking number.  I just don't believe it wasn't delivered

I'm going to have someone ask Gabe if he got an art set for Christmas just to see if she claimed it was from her.

Wonderful get-together with Ginny and Richard. Nice to have been back in Middletown today. It's been 29 years. Will try to get back again before then.

Are you heading home soon?

I leave Monday for San Antonio.

Did I mention that after all the hoo rah about whether I would take my flute to my friend's party I got another email from a different friend asking if I would like to take my flute to the New Year's Eve party, lol.  I calmly said that's for asking but no.

elmore, I'm very interested to know what you think of the CD.  You know a few of the songs intimately.

I had some chicken tenders, then picked up two little packages.  The daughter says traffic is horrible - I find that completely odd, although she thought it might just be an accident.

Melissa McCarthy is on a rerun of ELLEN today.  She was talking about she and her husband going to The Smoke House for dinner for their anniversary.  They probably went hoping to see BK there.

My mom had a box mix on her counter.  I'm sure that's not the recipe you're looking for

LOL, nope.

Famous Dave's Corn Muffins Copycat
(Printable Recipe)

1 3/4 c. cornmeal
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs
3/4 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. shortening
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 c. whole milk
1/4 c. buttermilk
1/3 c. vegetable oil
4 Tbl. honey

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Grind the cornmeal at high speed in a food processor for 5 minutes or until some of it has become flour.  Pour ground cornmeal into a large bowl with the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda and whisk together.  In a separate bowl, cream together the eggs, sugar, shortening and vanilla using an electric mixer.  Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and add the remaining ingredients.  Stir together with a rubber spatula until smooth.  Line a muffin pan with paper liners.  Fill each muffin cup 3/4 full with batter and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden.  Remove from oven and take a cold stick of butter and rub over the top of the rolls until each is coated.  Makes 16 muffins.  Serve plain or with cinnamon honey butter.

I suppose that is the last gift you will send to her house.

Thanks.  How is the mix?  I have used Jiffy and been happy with it.  A few years back I was determined to "create" a recipe I really like.  I think it was for blue corn muffins.  I know it wasn't great but I would like to find it.

Can't help you there, I don't like corn bread and mom didn't make it, just had the mix on her counter.

Kind of an unusual Christmas Day, all things considered.  My oldest great nephew was scheduled to become a father in January.  Because of fears of Preeclampsia, they decided to induce labor yesterday.  On the way to the hospital, the great nephew was in a car accident.  He is fine, but his car is wrecked.  No insurance for either driver.

So sorry to hear this. The mother was already at the hospital or she was with your nephew? She's OK?

We have returned from a delightful lunchtime visit with DR John G.  I had the nerve to invite him to dine at the new barbecue jernt on Central Avenue.  He was very gracious and we had a great time:




Great photo!
