I think I'm just going to wear a mask until summer.

[Laura]

I've baked a snowflake bundt cake, a dozen mini bundt cakes (cupcake size), ten mini zucchini loaves, and a gluten-free chocolate bundt cake so far. At the church I'll bake four dozen chocolate chip cookies and a big mess of Party Mix. I wonder if that's enough for 40 people.

My guess is a good number of them are on diets, so it's probably enough.

[Laura]

It's getting expensive to bake. Luckily, I found eggs on sale (they were about to reach their expiration date, but eggs are good for a long time. They are only about a week over the date). Eggs are about $6 dozen now.

[Laura]

I feel like I need something more, though.

[Laura]

I used to try to accommodate everyone. But the diabetics wanted regular sugar, so I always threw the sugar-free things away. The vegans won't eat anything, so I quite bothering. Now I just make something for the gluten-free crowd; they are always appreciative.

[singdaw]

That sounds like a lot of food to me, DR Laura.

[singdaw]

Maybe you can distract them somehow.

[Laura]

It does. Until you set it out on the table.

[singdaw]

DR Laura is the King Kong of Refreshments.

[Laura]

I used to take my own tables over. The church finally bought some tables that I can move myself. But they are bigger. So now the tables look empty.

[singdaw]

Maybe you could serve a side of Alacrity.

[singdaw]

Put all of the Chex Mix in many tiny little bowls and spread them all around. That will take up some table space.

[Laura]

I should probably do a vegetable tray. We got lots of cucumbers in our vegetable box. Maybe just cucumbers and carrots and dip. I really don't want to go into another store.

[Laura]

I thought of that, Singdaw. I think it's an excellent idea.

[singdaw]

And maybe some little bowls of peanuts.

[singdaw]

Or popcorn.

Guess I'll futz and finesse and see how far I get. I already laid down a sequence that's coming in a couple of pages, just the basics of it but that will be very easy to write.

[George]

I am afraid I have a head cold!

Have been sneezing a lot, and my sinus congestion is prolific this morning.

It's what I get for being in large crowds the past two days.

~~~Feel Better Vibes for Ron!!~~~

I am now attempting to go to a chiropractor

That sounds like a better plan, not that a chiropractor has ever helped me.

I've never been to a chiropractor.  A former co-worker went regularly and loved it.

[George]

I used to try to accommodate everyone. But the diabetics wanted regular sugar, so I always threw the sugar-free things away. The vegans won't eat anything, so I quite bothering. Now I just make something for the gluten-free crowd; they are always appreciative.

You can only do what you can do.

[bk]

Futzed and finessed quite a bit, but liked what I read. Then I wrote three new pages. Now I'll get ready to go to Marshall's abode to see the first cut of episode six. We'll finesse if there's anything to finesse, then I'll go to the mail place and see what's there, and then I'll cash a check.

I just threw away 11 eggs that had a use by date of December 23.....how LONG is too LONG?

[John G.]

John I looked Robert Lynen.  He seems to have been very brave.  It is a shame he was killed.

I will have to do that. He was an incredible child actor. To know that he died for the right cause is heartbreaking.

[John G.]

I should probably do a vegetable tray. We got lots of cucumbers in our vegetable box. Maybe just cucumbers and carrots and dip. I really don't want to go into another store.

Or you go the Dr. Oz route and have crudités. Then again …

If your spouse is OCD, this bookcase makes a perfect gift. (That's a hard "no" for me...)

Thank you for not placating the vegans.

[John G.]

I think I'm just going to wear a mask until summer.

And then through fall.

[elmore3003]

I spent too much time today futzing with New Year folders and paying the first bills of 2023.  I have eight bars to proofread on "One Person," which closes Act One of Dear World. I'll get to them as soon as I have my dinner/

[John G.]

I got the stitches out.

Yikes! I couldn't handle that, either!
