Just rain here. Dreary. I keep reminding myself that it will help with the Spring blooms.

Thunderstorms all night. It was great!

Humid, though.

No school today. Guess the kids will be in school late into June.

At least my area is getting only snow, no ice. Just planning on staying home maybe get some baking done.

Watching the news this morning. 3 killed in last night's tornado outbreak.

Cold, rainy and thick fog. I want to talk through a graveyard.

Beautiful sunshine here today. AND as a bonus, it's 31 degrees! Heat wave for sure.

Started Christmas baking today. DH now has his absolute favorite Christmas bread on the porch, cooling.

FNW, I will join you with that martini. Need one after another Christmas program tonight.

Trudy, are you staying warm?

IKWTDS, how are you feeling?

Lily, the storms sounded like they were awful last night in your neck of the woods.

They were.

I'm snuggling with my little Jewel. She's smiling a lot now.

Trying to figure out how to make spiced nuts and chocolate dipped pretzel sticks. I generally over-toast the nuts and make a mess of the melted chocolate, so we'll see how this goes. Potentially an experiement in wasting perfectly good chocolate and walnuts.

 Momala can help you out.

Czech, I am in pain now, not much but enough to know I can't walk or move around much. My neighbors are about to snow blow my driveway and DD is going to shovel my walkway and steps.  I put my sweatpants back on since they are the loosest and do not rub "me".

 Nuts: dry pan. Put the shelled nuts in the pan, on med to med-high heat. Turn often. When the nuts become fragrant, they are done.

Chocolate: depends on what you're using.

I melt mine in the microwave,  10 to 15 seconds at a time, stirring frequently. Use glass.

I made Christmas cookies from the rest of the dough I made Sunday. Will decorate tomorrow. Only a few dozen but enough for us.

It was 64, a real feel of 71, humid and hot at 2Am, it's 46, real feel of 32, and spitting snow now.

Tornado watches and warnings last night. Ice and freeze warnings for tonight.

Dad had the heart ablation today. Mom just texted me, he is out of recovery, they are in a room, and he is doing well.

 We must have posted at the same time, sorry I missed your response.

Hope the pain eases up soon for you. Hate that part of recovery. Hugs!

Well, I give that a 60% success rate. Walnuts roasted great but are flavorless. 1st batch of salted caramel chocolate over melted and turned t glue. 2nd attempt worked out great. Semi-sweet chocolate turned out great. BUT, pretzel sticks turned out to be the super short ones, so they really look more like matchsticks.

Tig ~
Glad you had at least partial
success.

To toast/roast nuts, put them
in a non-stick pan that has
been pre-heated on the stove
top for about 3 min. Use a
medium heat, and toast the
nuts for about 30-45 seconds,
at which point you should be
able to smell them EXCEPT
if the nuts are old, in which
case they will never become
fragrant. Take them off the
heat, and arrange on a paper
towel to cool.

Whole nuts work best for this.

Tig ~
Snyder's make a very passable
line of pretzels - knots, twists, rods,
and sticks. Their sticks usually hold
up very well when dipped in melted
chocolate, and then rolled in nuts.

When using the larger rods, I break
them in half, and cover the broken
end in the chocolate and nuts.
If used unbroken, there is too
much pretzel and not enough
chocolate for a realistic treat.

Hope this helps.
