    Bus Crazy

    It's so hard tell you apart from anyone, with that profile picture. I once made a version of lace cookies for a school project. They were very tasty.
  2. Sorry to hear that, Bertie.

    The Fruitcake

    Where else can we read about young Beau?
  4. When I was in high school, I wanted to be taller, thinner, with green eyes and darker skin. Maybe with darker, straight hair that doesn't turn into frizzy curls above the sideburns. And freckles on the nose. But as time went on, I understood that was just wishful thinking. I can't change my curly, straw-like hair, or my eyes, height, or skin tone. I could change my weight, or try anyway, but that's largely due to genetics and an inefficient metabolism. For the most part, I do accept that I can't change anything about the way I look, but I still get the occasional bout of moodiness about my waistline. Then I remind myself that I got married, and my husband clearly likes what he sees when he looks at me, and then I feel better.

    Or bricks for a bomb shelter.
  6. So....apparently, Pierce Brosnan has a son. Several, actually, but let's focus on this one. His name is Paris Brosnan, 18 years old, born of his father's second marriage to journalist Keely Shaye Smith. He's modeled extensively for brands such as Ralph Lauren, Balmain, and Dolce & Gabbana. He's involved in several charities, and has even directed his own short film to raise awareness for child hunger in Sri Lanka. Wow. 😮 He's the most photogenic person I've ever seen!
  7. Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash! How is everyone faring in Florida?

    Priority Mail

    This past summer, my young brother-in-law, Mickey, and his boyfriend were enjoying themselves at the beach, when a little guy named Rory came up and asked them if they could help build a sand castle. They were happy to oblige, and now they've become very good friends with Rory, despite the difference in age. (Mickey and his beau are 16, and Rory is 9.) They regularly come over to our house to play and socialize with other friends on weekends or holidays.

    I love Zuppa Toscana! It's my favorite thing at Olive Garden. So much so, that I have my own recipe for it. It has paprika instead of bacon for that smoky flavor, and half of the sausage is replaced by Navy beans.

    Fire Punch

    This was a very sweet story, but the Fire Punch sounds like it could strip some paint. In more ways than one. I think we need a chapter with a recipe for cheese fondue. Fondue is a popular meal in Switzerland and Germany, especially during the Advent season. Traditionally, there were restrictions against eating red meat at this time, so it was an appropriate, communal dish that everyone could share. There's also a custom that requires anyone who loses a piece of food in the pot to kiss the person sitting to their left. Could make a cute, funny scene with that, I think.
  11. We're all doing well, thanks. Morgan and I watched a movie on DVD, and Sneakers is curled up in my lap. Mickey, Remy, and Rory are at home with their respective families.
  12. We're having Crepes "Madame". Ham and Gruyere cheese, with Bechamel sauce and a poached egg. Roasted asparagus on the side.

    The Fruitcake

    A quote from The Golden Girls: Sophia: "I have an idea. Let's take all of the fruitcakes we received from this Christmas, last Christmas, and the Christmas before that, and...." Dorothy: "And do what, Ma? Build a bomb shelter?"

    The Fruitcake

    I loved how Beau was all excited about getting a package, then he was so disappointed to find that it was a fruitcake. I probably would have had the same reaction. Fruitcake was never a favorite of mine. Unless it was named Morgan. All jokes aside, though, I do love the idea of a cake soaked in liquor.
  15. One of my favorite varieties of Christmas cookies are the ones that look like braided red-and-white candy canes, flavored with peppermint extract. https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/candy_cane_cookies/
  16. Happy Birthday, Gary.
  17. Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash! *waves to the foster kids*
  18. Ugh. It makes me so angry when people are dismissive, or in denial about someone's orientation. "It's just a phase....You just want attention....How do you know? You've never had sex with anyone!" A cousin of mine teaches music to high school students. She recently got engaged to her girlfriend, and a young man (who had admitted to her in a private note that he himself was gay) had the nerve to ask "So, who's the lucky guy?" But again, kudos to your nephew, B. Glad that there seems to be minimal fuss about it.
  19. Oh, right. I got them confused, because Looping had a claw embedded in his rear end, a while back. Hope he feels better soon.
  20. I think he might have been genuinely curious, because he doesn't know any other bisexual kids his age.
  21. I thought it prudent not to ask.
