Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

If you like cream or half and half in your coffee or espresso..... Try eggnog

Okay. =)

Since you sent us an early winter Alaskan I will have to make a batch of eggnog now.

I want to learn how to make it!

Me too!

To whomever asked a million posts ago, I am a football fan. I grew up in a house that was just my dad and two older brothers. I learned to love football in self defense. Now living in northern Wisconsin, being a Packer fan is almost a residency requirement!!!

Ron-sounds like I might have to check that pot out. I have an espresso machine gathering dust just like Vehve and for the same reason.

Oh no!!! An egg nog recipe!!! I'm doomed!!! I have enough problem with the higher quality stuff you can find in the stores during the holidays, if I start making it at home, welllllll,

I asked. =) I was born in Miami, so I'm a Phins fan, but all I knew about football before I got married was that there is no fifth down.

But I married a NE Pats fan, so he

and I

and we

and

together now. lol Some might call us a house divided. lol
In this house, finding an NFL team to cheer for is a necessity!!! =)
DD is a Steelers fan, and our youngest...well, brown is his favorite color, so his favorite team is the Browns. lol

Can't catch up.....now it's DS's bedtime.....more tomorrow morning.

I just want chicks!!!!

Morning dawned with a little kinder 38 degrees. Coffee hot and good this morning. Not quite ready yet to tackle the pecan leaves that all at once with the cold snap descended onto my driveway, but they need removing because 2" of leaves makes the house look abandoned.

There's a great recipe book "Biscotti" by Lou Seibert Pappas that has several dozen recipes divided up into the categories "Traditional" "Chocolate & Nuts" "Regional" and healthful chapters... the most prolific being, naturally, the chocolate one. Also included are biscotti baking tips. Anyway, new the book is $9.95, but I'm sure it could be found for less in the usual outlets (amazon, ebay, etc)

Deb,
I don't know if you have a Costco near you, but they have big plastic tubs of Nonni's biscotti with the one-sided dark chocolate. IMHO, they could be a little more crunchy, but good nonetheless.

Right now we're entering New Mexico holiday season where biscochitos (anise seeded shortbready cookies) and posole -- posole is a casserole of hominy corn baked with chiles and meats..very filling and very yummy -- and tamales abound. We're going to a ristras gathering this afternoon where cider and posole will be served. There's overtures of cloudy weather and maaaaybe snow flurries.... Perfect!

sorry I am so answering these randomly.... I have to hit costco the moment they open or about half an hour before closing time... I need a scooter in order to go in there... Oooohhhh biscotti... now I have to hit em up.

I am also going to to your Posole recipe one day. But I wont attempt tamales. About this time of year you can get the sweet tamalis Oh yumm... stuffed with raisins brown sugar and pineapple.... I forget what else. They are definately dessert food.

Good morning - hot coffee anyone? 6 inches of new snow overnight, door to chicken run won't close for the snow, emergency measures in place, hose that I drained to fill the horse trough outside is frozen! Carried many buckets...

 

[sunflour]

6" Oh my , really do not envy your weather. Wish you were here..30 F now and will be near 60, sunny -


It's funny, folks here wish for snow…when we do get it, they wish it would go away.

Now for my second cup..

@ronott1 - I think she is supposed to be a bantam frizzle and the boys and girls have those feathers on the head but ... here is another photo, she doesn't go after any of the hens, in fact she is quite the chicken little

She's cute. How old? What breed? Polish? Base on your behavior description, maybe a girl but I have had boys whom I never saw go after girls either if there were a more dominate Roo around.
