Snippets and a Merry Christmas!

I have nothing major to share, except that we are thoroughly enjoying a week in Kerala ... truly God's country ... for our Christmas this year.   I'll post photos of our beach trip once we leave ... I hope you are all enjoying time with your loved ones, celebrating the true meaning of Christmas and making some memories!


Our Family Christmas Photo for you all ::

Aren't these gorgeous?  They greeted us recently on the kids' school campus ... beautiful ::

And this greeted us upon arrival at the "beach hotel" ::



Tony read it to Mia and explained "the reason it says X-mas is because that's how Indians spell Christmas"

Had to chuckle at that.

And I rarely share snippets from others' blogs because there are SO many good ones, that I hate to leave anyone out, but felt this was a definite "must share" ::

This is quite silly, but I found it humorous ...

Ingredients:

* 2 cups flour
* 1 stick butter
* 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

* Nuts
* 2 bottle wine
* 2 cups of dried fruit

Sample the wine to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the wine again. To be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Repeat. 


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 wine is still OK. Try another cup... Just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy.

Break 2 eggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.

Pick the frigging fruit up off floor. Mix on the turner.. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver. 


Sample the wine to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Check the wine. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts.

Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or some fink. 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 wine and wipe counter with the cat.
 

Go to Costco and buy cake.

Bingle Jells!
