My buddy V is a great knitter. I've wanted to knit forever, tried it a couple of years ago, but the timing was off, decided to try it again, bought some soft, fuzzy yarn, fired up my computer, went to you tube, found a left handed knitting tutorial. Well, it looks so easy, NOT! Decided I had the wrong kind of yarn, so I was off to Wally World for some plain, generic non fuzzy yarn and bigger needles, by the time I got back I was too tired to knit.
I used to be a great crafter, and I crocheted afghans in my twenties, but duh, that was years and years ago... Surely I can do this, surely I can..
Stella is trying to get her groove back here, after being gone, I have to get those Christmas recipes published - V gave me a new one today for an amazing sounding Snowy Trail Mix to add to the collection. And Lindsay found a recipe for an Orange Cranberry Cheesecake, she wants me to try for Christmas.
Those Cranberry Bliss Bars were so good, it makes us want to try other orange-cranberry things as well. Orange-cranberry scones and muffins sound good, too.
If you want something special this Christmas make those cranberry bliss bars, ladies, I'm telling you they are amazing. John (eldest son) loved them, he couldn't get enough of them. I think he's going to make them and take to the office this month to share.
And speaking of food, do you know that I ate my entire birthday cake over the course of the week? I did, except for one last piece! And I wish I had ate that! Dilly is a great little baker, and I hadn't had homemade German Chocolate Cake for years. And what did the scales say when I got home? Oh yeah, Miss Piggy here gained 3 lbs. And let me tell you, it was worth every friggin' pound. So now I'm back on that horrid Atkins program, which I detest with a purple passion. Oh well, it was good while it lasted...
