I have a fitness tracker now so I have been working on getting 10,000 steps in every day. Progress has been slow though.

I just got an email from prevention magazine that said I could walk off my belly fat by Jan 3!

I do suspect that I will have to cut out the Holiday baking though.

From a timing perspective, things weren't working out for me to set on the 11th. I had to go with some shipped eggs and if I waited that long they would be 9 days old so I decided to set them last night. I was also being impatient. I ended up setting 9 RIR I ordered from ebay and 13 of my own eggs which are White Rock/Red Ranger X (interesting to see what that will yield) and White Rock/Dark Cornish X. The BCM I ordered weren't going to make it in time so I had them delay the order until the new year.

More Christmas babies! We will love seeing babies at Christmas time, a little early, a little late, or right on Christmas!

Have to get ready for church. This thread is picking up. Will probably have some catching up to do when I get home. Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday.

Later!

I cannot stop eating them they are so good!

Finding the lecithin is a bit tricky but usually a health food store will have it. The lecithin is a stabilizer and makes the toffee evenly hard. You could make it without it but it is not the same.

You're a very quick study. Let me know if you need any more enabling encouragement.

Did you see my bread a few (oh dear. I think it's been six months!) months back? I am a lover of things made from scratch. However, I love the bread machine for making dough and most loaves of bread.
I have Almond joy and Mounds recipes. I was going to make Mounds today, but after getting the crib apart, upstairs, "where did those doohickeys go?!" and together, I am on the couch, and not moving until Duckling gets here, and sees her old room is now a play room!
The next project will be putting her Harley together for Christmas (rocking horse/motorcycle). That will be fun.
Okay, too much personal crap. Sorry.

I do remember that!

I usually make turtles and last year I made home made caramel for them. They were very tasty!

Almond Joy and mounds sounds great. I hope the projects go well for you.
