What is this baking you speak of? There is probably a really good bakery minutes away.....
I'm making easy fudge again this year. I couldn't tell the difference between it and the more difficult recipe I used for years. Just chocolate chips, eagle brand, a pinch of salt, and a little vanilla. Voila!
I keep thinking I'm going to bake some cookies and loaf cakes to give to people. But I haven't yet. Good intentions and all that jazz.
Like that old Don Williams song says, Lord, I hope this day is good.

DD and I will probably do a bit of baking over the holidays. Gotta head out to work shortly. Then, my 6th graders have a bball game tonight. Working some new plays so hopefully we can execute those well. Been pretty tired lately. Last night, i felt like I usually feel on Friday night, lol. Just exhausted.

There is so much to DO! Not only are there all these activities, but we're supposed to bring something to every event. And send in stuff for the school Christmas parties, do teacher gifts, get the church musicals ready (adult and kid), do grab-bag exchanges with far away relatives, attend business related Christmas parties, club Christmas parties, and on and on and on. Can't we spread some of this cheer throughout the year instead of trying to smush it all into one month??????

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
When the kids were doing parties at school, I kept things like bags of chips or other bulk items to send with them.
Then I got over it.
Every party, every year, it was me and the same 3-4 sending in stuff.
So I picked 1 party and supplied for that in each class.
I had 3 kids taking stuff in. It just became too much to do all the parties.

I think we're going to go Aldi's today. Once DH rolls out of bed. I need to order our yearly Christmas coffee cake from Chicago.

I was excited when I got to go see Elton john and the Eagles. Best concerts I've ever been to.
Eagles were amazing. I saw them on the Hell Freezes Over Tour.
Lynyrd Skynyrd and Duran Duran are THE top of my bucket list (under going to Bora Bora, but that will never happen). Hung with Skynyrd last year, so that got crossed off...

I saw the Hell Freezes Over Tour as well. They were at Irvine Meadows, a very scenic, peaceful outdoor stadium. I loved it.
I'll expect pics, ohfour!
Well, it's not until July. I'm not even sure it has been announced yet. It's not on the venue's website. We print their merch, so I have a bit of inside info...

We haven't bought our kids anything for Christmas yet. Nope. Not one thing. We really need to get started. But DH already bought me two presents. Hey, FWM, DH bought me a spiralizer!

I used them for parsley the other night. They worked pretty good. Less messier than chopping them with a knife in that I can put a small bowl/cup underneath to catch the herb while I cut.

Garth Brooks is coming here. And everyone knows I have always loved him.
I saw Garth way back in the late 80s. At the Memorial auditorium.
That was before he really took off.
I was 19 and my cousin and I had front row seats, smack in the middle.
At one point we all went to the stage and he was going by slapping hands.
Well I went up just as he turned around and we both were red when my hand was right in his crotch.
We looked right at each other, I said "sorry" and he grinned and winked.
And then I was done.
That was it. I died.
Right there.
