Holiday Cheer

Here’s a great Christmas Cookie recipe that I thought you might want to try this year:

1 cup of water
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup of brown sugar
lemon juice
4 large eggs
1 cup nuts
2 cups of dried fruit
1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequilla

Sample the Cuervo to check quality

Take a large bowl, check the Cuervo again, to be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Turn on the electric mixer…Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar…Beat again.

At this point it’s best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK, try another cup just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit, Pick the frigging fruit off floor… Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver.

Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity.

Next, sift two cups of salt, or something. Who giveshz a sheet. Check the Jose Cuervo. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find.

Greash the oven

Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don’t forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the dishwasher

CHERRY MISTMAS

Pc150016_1 I thought I would share a photo of the Brush Barn where our spinning guild meetings are held.  It is a historic building teeming with charm and it has been decorated for the holidays.  The barn sits behind the Epenetus Smith Tavern.

Wednesday’s meeting was a ‘spin in’.  Usually our guild meetings have a topic that is discussed or demonstrated.  With the holidays coming up, the agenda was no agenda.  Just a chance to sit and spin!  I of course arrived with everything except my roving!  ergh. Melissa egged me encouraged me to buy some Rose Gray Alpaca that was for purchase.  A member named Tabitha raises alpacas and llamas and often brings along some fiber for sale.  We were encouraging her to start an adoption program, much like the one Harlot had posted the other day — you would ‘adopt’ one of the animals for a certain fee and at the end of the year you would have their fleece!  If anything comes of this, I will be sure to let you know.

five minutes later:  As I am typing this entry, I am locked in the computer room/office.  Mr. Poe is in here with me and he is running amok.  Despite the various chew toys on the floor, he is most interested in my toes and electrical cords.

I get so involved with persevering through his antics in order to have some computer time, that I completely forget about the rice cooking on the stove!  Now the house is filled with the smell of burnt rice and the stove is a friggin mess.  Why am I cooking rice?   Is it for my own dinner?  No, Mo has had an upset stomach (read: puking everywhere).

So here I am blathering on and on about spinning and the charm of our historic building while puppies are drawing blood, other pooches are puking and the house is filling with smoke. 

That my friends, is my real life.
