Leave him alone for a few hours and we have lights! The hub put up Xmas lights today while I was in B'ham working on a piano. Waiting for it to get darker so I can go take a picture! He even strung lights in the bamboo there on the right. He put up a lighted pendant from the living room overhead light. It's red. Very cool. I was wondering where we could hang that! Still debating about the whole tree thing. Here or down at Shawns??? Or not at all? Hmmmm.
Made a different recipe for ginger cookies this afternoon. It's more like a soft cookie. Found it in an old church cookbook. What drew me to it was the call for a dash of cayenne pepper in it. Tastes okay but I like Mom's ginger crinkles better. I boxed some of Mom's version up and the hub will send them to his Dad next week. I have a chocolate cake in the oven right now. I think I'm going to make a version of Harry & David's Moose Munch later, or perhaps tomorrow. I bought peanuts for the original plan of making peanut brittle but moose munch popped into my head and I think I'll try mocking that up. DH would love it.
Last night was cold and called for comfort food. I put a roast in the oven, threw in some onion soup mix and a bit of coffee, threw in potatoes halfway thru, and TA DA! A side salad and gravy and a comfort food meal was served. Gosh it was good. Last week I made pizza dough and we had pizza a couple nights. OMG! Sure was good. I am so glad I have a pizza stone to cook them on. Only thing I could use is a pizza peel to get the darn thing from the board to the stone in the oven. Ah well, I made do and it was still delicious! What to fix for dinner tonite? I just don't know. I'm drawing a blank and it's 5:00 already. Better get busy!
