Why are the boards so dead today?

We had a break in the weather here; was sunny and clear for a change so I spent the day outside. Pruned all of the grapes and started on the apricot trees, and made some adjustments in the chicken runs. Nice to get outside and away from the 'puter!

People around this house seem to be in a fudge induced sugar coma. Maybe that's it?

I had two patients that I had see today...didn't get home til this afternoon. I stopped at the store and bought some white choc to make peppermint bark with all the candy canes left over.

Well, I bought a bag of nestle white morsels. Melted them in the microwave(on 70% power for a minute then stir, then keep nuking them in 30 second intervals and stir each time you check them)
I put around 9 standard size candy canes in a heavy freezer bag, pounded them on the floor with my ice cream scoop(I'm so technical...need my own show don't I?)
Stirred the powdery part of the peppermint in my melted morsels...spread it onto a waxpaper lined cookie sheet...sprinkled the remaining peppermint bits on top then let it cool for about an hour before you break into pieces.

So some is on it's way to me right?

Sure, pass me a cheeseburger when you take them off the Foreman...I'll toss you a baggy full of peppermint bark
