Christmas Shots

Daughter #2 took this picture of our Christmas tree and its reflection in the window. Since I will spend today making cookies and fudge, I thought it would be appropriate to show an image that depicts the spirit of the day.

This is Tiger sitting beneath the tree.

Ahh … Tigger is so CUTE!

You really are getting into the spirit now, aren't you, Robyn.
have a lovely day trying not to eat cookie dough and fudge … Mmmmmm.

That particular corner of your tree looks beautiful. I dare say the rest follows suit.

I'm glad you haven't made this a photo scavenge subject as I don't decorate (and no longer have a cat). Instead, I have posted some porn for the boys.

I'll see if I can get a full-tree shot this evening when the lights are all twinkly. I have to confess to have an artificual tree, which was a difficult decision to make a few years ago. But I couldn't find a live tree big enough for the room. I need one that is about nine feet high, and to chop down a real one that size just doesn't seem right, and they're hard to come by.

Drat this time difference (again).
I'm now off to bed with a sexy book (Alexis de Tocqueville's "Democracy In America" in a slinky leather binding), so I'll miss the promised full frontal shot of your lovely tree.

I'll look forward to gazing at it while I have my breakfast tomorrow, so please don't forget to post it.

Cindy Loo Who In October

What is it with people and Cindy Loo Who? Of my last one hundred blog hits, forty have been direct visits from regular readers, and fifteen have been as a result of people searching for "Cindy Loo Who," the little pixie from Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas . A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively. Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations. When my sister and I were much younger and still living with our parents, we would pick a day in July, close the curtains to darken the ...

Classic Green Bean Bake

In anticipation of Thanksgiving, I feel I must post a recipe with plenty of good old American tradition. The classic Green Bean Bake was invented in 1955 by Dorcas Reilly, a home economist who worked for the Campbell's Soup Company. A study was done determining that 50% of all Americans have eaten the classic Green Bean Bake, and 38% of those believe it is best served during the holidays, mainly Thanksgiving. So, for the other 50% and for those in other countries where this dish may be unfamiliar--my treat: The Classic Green Bean Bake serves 6 to 8 1 can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup 1/2 cup milk 1 teaspoon soy sauce Dash of fresh pepper 1 20-oz. bag frozen cut green beans, thawed* 1 2.8 oz can French-fried onions -Preheat the oven to 350 F -In a casserole dish, combine the soup, milk, soy sauce and pepper. Stir in the green beans and half of the onions. -Bake until bubbling, about 25 minutes. Top with the remaining onions and bake for 5 more minutes. Serve hot. *Or cook 1 ...
