German Springerle. I bake them tomorrow. They have to sit for a day before they go in the oven.

Love the cookies, DR John G.!

Are you doing the alcohol saturated fruit cakes this year?

To broil the sirloins, or to eat one?

No. The doctors have ruined all the fun for me by telling me that dried fruit causes kidney stones in me. No more whiskey nut cake. I do still have a little left, swimming in bourbon.

I did not like working with the dough in the photo above, which is Mom's traditional recipe. I also have another ball of dough from the recipe, which will likely make another two dozen cookies. But I don't have time to work them up today. So, I'm going to try some shortbread using the rolling pin. Found this recipe.

I did too, DR George, on your kind alert. But I placed my order direct this morning and cancelled the Amazon order. Their post did say that Amazon would be supplied for shipping by the end of next week, so it will work out in the end.

Friday evening greetings!  I shopped in person at Kroger today and found everything needed for the 2 meetings next week for which I’m on the hospitality committee.  How did I manage that for 2 functions on consecutive days?  Anyway, the party favors are done for Monday’s luncheon and snacks and beverages purchased for Tuesday’s DAR meeting.

Very ambitious, DR John G!  I used to buy a bag of these from Central Pastry for Richard - until he found out how expensive they were and said he could do without them.

Yes, DR Singdaw, at this time of year it seems every time I leave the house there’s something I have to take with me.

Usually, it's my memory that I forget to take with me.

I'd like to see Eurydice at the theater tomorrow. But there is no time.

I am home from the birthday dinner.  It was a grand occasion and the food was excellent!!!  Imagine!  In Edgefield SC, a restaurant with great food!!!

I had blackened snapper with pico de gallo tomatoes topping and rice.  Very tasty.

I took this snap of Edgefield's Christmas lights.  It's the main square.
