I made divinity candy tonight. It turned out, but I don't think I'll ever do that again.

I think that about a lot of things I try -- once.

Then I drove to BJ's since my gas light was on.... I was very pleased to pay only $2.05 a gallon

I was glad to get $1.66 a gallon today. Happy price.

They have sautéed chicken livers with mushrooms and onions which is out of this world

I made chicken liver pate for the first time today. The recipe called for onion and apple as well as Calvados in the mix. Oh, and two and half sticks of butter. I hope it turns out OK. I haven't had time to try it.

I will make this or something like it again. It was easy.

I actually spent a couple of hours this evening trying to clean up this place. I made some headway and I even packed for my trip to San Angelo, but my to-do list is still way too long.

I made two full-sized tarts this morning, a congealed salad (my dance teacher's favorite), and the chicken liver pate. That's the most I've used my kitchen in ages.

Hello, everyone.

I went to the hairdresser today and to two food stores--one for gifts, the other for food for me to eat.

Since I do most of my Christmas online I had only one present to wrap and I did that this afternoon. I'll deliver it tomorrow. (It's close by.)

So, Cilla, how'd you like making divinity?

Where is San Angelo?

Travel vibes for wherever it is.

It's been many, many years since we've seen that price here.

Sorry you had such a rough time of it, TCB.

Enjoy your lunch tomorrow at 13 Coins. Have you already decided what to order?

I'm fading fast.

Good night, all.

It's about 3 1/2 hours from San Antonio to the northwest. Thankfully, it's through barbecue country -- at least on the way back. I doubt anyone will be open Christmas Day, when I'm traveling.

One was apricot, the other was fig using my homemade jam.

Falling asleep and have to be at the stores when they open or there will be no dinner nor presents
