Bachelor attempts brownies.
Film at 11.
My Grandmother would request that her Husband or one of her sons to purchase run or schnaps that use used for fruitcakes.
Flytrap, I posted this in your anti-penguin thread, but I’d thought I’d share it here too 
It’s a Very Penguin Christmas
Gotta go decorate 5 or 6 dozen cookies, brb
I guess it’s just one of those southern grandmother/mother things. Ladies of their generations would never set foot in a liquor sto’. It would be unladylike. Or, they figured “one of those heathen boys I raised is probably goin’ there anyways so I’ll save myself the trip.” 
I guess it would be five Christmases ago, I went to Ye Olde Alcoholic Beverage Control store (all NC liquor stores are run by a state entity), and loaded up my basket with lots of rum, bourbon, and brandy.
Did I mention that I was heavily pregnant? I felt the need to mention that I was baking, yes, lots of baking, so no one should assume that I was going to go consume any of these bottles, still wrapped in the paper bag or anything.
By the way, I felt it my duty to test one of today’s fruitcakes to make sure they’re OK. So I had fruitcake and tea for dinner. (They’re more than OK.)
Well, my cat is a cat. =^.^= 
Read it all. Didn’t retain much other than, feel better already, dammit, FCM!!! 
The HFUNs descended upon us today and we made:
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate Cream Cheese Cookies
Vanilla Cream Cheese Cookies
Butter Balls
Pecan Crescents
And then I rested. 
I’m available for test tastin’. Just sayin’…
**Sticky **- I’m trying the best I can!!! My body just won’t cooperate, dammit!
I’m so angry I forgot the hot chocolate - that’s what I want now - I’m sure it’d help open up my sinuses… 
Do you have something hot or spicy you can put on your tongue? That’ll get your sinuses opened up.
:dubious:
I just went to Subway (alone) to get something for my grandparents to have for NOL tomorrow. I ordered one foot long chicken, bacon, ranch and one foot long Subway melt (ham, turkey, bacon). The woman asked me if it was for there or to go. :dubious:
Swampy, I’d mail you some cookies but I don’t think you’d like the results once they got there.
Finished decorating the cookies, and now I’m waiting for the icing to dry so I can pack them away.
Not if he needs something to sprinkle on his ice cream…
Chicken soup.
Irked, did laundry, came home.
My one friend has a small stone angerl in her kitchen. It’s an effort not to scream when I see it.
I just noticed your location. That 3 of us Triangle Mumpers.
Flytrap, wasabi will also open your sinuses.
It is Fairychat’s sinuses that are in distress, not mine.
:rolleyes:
Ha! My ex-hubbie tried to make brownies once. He used the electric mixer. They could have made a nice doorstop.
He tried pancakes once, I had to throw the skillet away.
My DH favors hot&sour soup for sinus, sore throat, and general vile plagues.
Deheathenizing was quite enjoyable today, including a nice song by the congregation kids (ages 3-11).
Still unreasonably tired a lot lately.
Kitchen sink is now working. DH and I solved it with a rush run to Home Despot (as we call it) for a plumbing snake and a side dash to Big Lots for more drain-opener goo. I’ve run the dishwasher twice now with no sink backup. Under-sink clutter is now put away again and a bit better organized.
Pretty much in vegetate mode right now.
