Ho! Ho! Ho!

This is what I spent Christmas Eve doing; making my hubby, Thumb Print cookies. This is all that is left after I baked 2 dozen. Scratch that, 2 dozen minus 1...the dog stole one right off the cookie sheet before I could put them in the oven! Damn dog.

I guess I should be happy that this is all he wants for Christmas, after 34 years together, he still just wants his cookies!

So, Merry Christmas honey, to bad they'll be gone before noon on Christmas Day. The poor guy won't see another batch of these cookies for a whole year; you'd think he'd savour them for longer than just 12 hours!

Lets talk coffee...

Love the Starbucks; hate the price & lack of convenience. There's only one in a three town radius of me; it's at the local Target.


My choice of "poison" is a tall decaf non-fat latte (yeah, I know, what a whimpy coffee!) but, I feel like I'm in a Seinfeld episode, you know the one,"The Soup Nazi", I don't want to stand there with a line behind me and give some long worded coffee order.




The coffee makers I have at home are (I'm the only coffee drinker in our house) , Mister Coffee, Senseo, but I'm thinking about getting the new Kreuig that makes the single cup. My Senseo makes individual cups with the foam, but your choices are few. With the new Kreuig you can choose between coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.







So...what do you think? Do you have one of these and is it worth all the recent hype? Let me know.

This was an 8 dishtowel, 3 dishcloth kinda Thanksgiving!

This was what I would call an "average" dirty towel kinda holiday for me, it'll definitely make its own load of wash!

This year my hubby offered to help with the dinner, here's the conversation:

hubby: "want me to help?"

me: "huh?, what?"

hubby: "what do you need me to do?"

me: "what do you want to do?"

hubby: "anything you want."

OK, by this time I knew he was serious, so I said you can clean the turkey.

hubby: "OK, how do you do that?" (keep in mind; 34 years with this man!)

me: "I'll show you and then you can also make the stuffing"

hubby: "OK, how do you do that?"

Are you getting the picture yet? Needless to say; I had to show him every little step.



He complimented himself over the turkey, stuffing and the mashed potatoes. Yes, I let him make the mashed potatoes too. ( don't tell him, but they were a little dry)


Truly, it was a great time, just the two of us.


These are my last 2 towels, (Sana Print Dishtowels) , I'm glad I didn't have to use them; they're new (I love the retro look). I got them at my favorite store, Crate & Barrel. They're on sale for only $2.95. Not a bad price for a little bit of style.
