[BBUK]

We're back...sitting a while at my computer watching some short clips eating cookies(low sugar, not much on sugar except for cake...), drinking coffee, and sorting through mail. I cannot tell you how the Hispanic population has exploded....just unreal in the several stores we were at.
(Just an observation as we have lived here since late 2016.) Going to the same stores...

I started watching the Quiet Man last night, will finish it up now...

Masterful work Cord Sir.... Masterful work! @cordmaker


Edit: That USA with the cross got to me. Thank you again Sir! (I'd pay for one of those!)

Will a lot of the Northerners decide to stay put once they see this.

 

[warrior-cat]

Bengals 22, Patriots 0 at the half.

Yeah, they simply ignore or ban it when it is not their type, so it does not exist unless they say so.

BBUK, the ones with USA (STAR and Cross) they are supposed to represent the branches of MILITARY, I was going to put the colors for each branch in the middle, those are US Army. I never could come up with anything that I really liked, so I went with a star, an ex-NAVY gave me his approval on it, so that is what I made. He bought three ARMY ones for his family!!! When I gave him his Navy one, I saw him tear up but he wouldn.t cry in front of me, he called me later after he said he collected himself (his words) and called, just said I didn't want you to see me cry, I went to the basement!!!! The funny thing is this guy never shuts up!!!!! I later talked to his wife, I told her I left him speechless; her exact words were, can you make him be more speechless for me!!!!! LOL

Yes Sir, I only spent 4 years in the Army (Always thought I should have retired Army but it didn't work out health-wise.)(I am making up for it though!) but the one with the cross got me. (The others too as I can imagine you working on them and knowing the effort and care involved.) If you have another one or make another one that resembles that one with the cross, I'd sure buy it. (I already know that anything you'd make would look good!)

Bengals trying to make it close as the Patriots have narrowed the gap, now 22-18 Bengals. Bengals have not scored in the second half.

 

[BBUK]

Don't know why but, it made me think of this song...

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Getting ready to head out to church for a beautiful Christmas Eve service with friends and fellow believers. These people are so important in my life and are as close as family.

I trust all have a wonderful Christmas Eve. This song reflects my feelings on this day.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Who Dey! Hey, a win's a win at this point in the season, and the Bengals needed to hold serve with Ravens, Bills and Chiefs.

Maybe the lesson is to play the whole game. If you can learn that and still win, that's terrific.

 

[catfaninsc]

Y’all have a safe, joyous and very Merry Christmas.

Had me worried for a bit. Did not score in the second half.

Great hearing from you @starchief5 and @catfaninsc .

Meanwhile, $94.43 for 6 months walking around. Cashed in today rather than next June because interest rates are so good.

Merry Christmas

Buy a good fruit cake and send it to me. I actually like fruit cake. Bought one of those fruit cake strips they have at Walmart today to try it. Not bad. Told my wife if there are any left over after Christmas I will buy some more.

Wow!! That’s the Red Ryder BB gun of Christmas presents, 2022. Happy for you Sawnee. I’m certain she still puts on a fantastic show.

Merry Christmas to all the DL. Safe travels to those on the move somewhere.

Fruitcake sucks. But if you'll pay postage, I'll buy

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 22°F and calm. We may hit 52°F before today is out. Big freeze nearly over.

We're making Turkey Roast with dressing today. Same procedure as last year.

Merry Christmas everybody.

No, I was just having a little fun. I love fruit cakes though. But I don't see as many in stores as there used to be. I believe most are like you in that they don't like them. One good thing about them is that they last a long time in the old containers if not opened.

I knew you were. No biggie. Actually some fruit cake ain't bad when I'm hungry.

Merry Christmas From The Deep Freeze Southland

27° at our place with a high this afternoon of 47°. Coffee is good and breakfast is a fryin' on the cook stove. Life is good.

Our tradition is to open a stuffing stocking we hang on the mantle on Christmas Eve after church services and then our gifts under the tree on Christmas morning. I have no idea what I will, may or may not get today but last night's "gift" was as good as a man could ask for who needs nothing in this world. Tickets to Emmylou Harris concert at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater. Boy howdy. I am blessed

I trust all have a Merry Christmas and the Lord takes a liking to you.

 

[warrior-cat]

MERRY CHRISTMAS LEGIONNAIRES!

As we remember the reason for the season. God Bless you all and here is hoping that all have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Merry Christmas, everyone. Crazy last two days.

I like it too and it is one of my traditions. A nice slice of fruit cake with eggnog spiked with KY bourbon is a holiday tradition. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. My daddy would always go to the A&P store and pickout a nice Jane Parker fruit cake and it was not Christmas without one. I can't recall not having one at Christmas.

The A&P stores are long gone and with them Jane Parker cakes so in recent years we get the Claxton fruit cakes out of Georgia or Collins Street fruit cakes out of Texas. Both are fantastic with an edge to Texas. But you can still order Jane Parker fruit cakes and I ordered one for this year. A hot black cup of coffee with a big slice of Jane Parker fruit case is a bit of nostalgia. Sweet memories.

I read an artcle recently that fruit cakes are mostly a Southern thing in America and in other regions they are ridiculed and looked down on. "Nutty as a fruitcake". I guess that may be so but I would not think of a Christmas without one. It would be like Christmas without a Christmas tree, some things never grow out of date and old to me.

This is a Jane Parker. You can order them by mail and they come in an attractive tin.

Merry Christmas everyone.

@Sawnee...Little Drummer Boy is my favorite Christmas song. Most of my favorites are ones I liked playing while in band during HS. I'll give that one a listen as soon as my wife wakes up.

Driving to parents this morning. 3 1/2 hour drive and return tonight.

Hope everyone has a great and safe day.

Merry Christmas storm, she does a fantastic job on this version and the instrumentation is great. Especially the guitar.

Have a nice and safe day on your trip to see your parents.

I like good frutcake too. i bought a claxton brand at kroger last year. not bad but i’ve had better. they’re getting hard to find nowadays.
I downloaded this recipe years ago when emeril lagasse made it on his show on the cooking channel but i never got around to making it. looked really good: https://www.cookingchanneltv.com/re...ristmas-fruitcakes-with-whiskey-sauce-3644501

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Merry Christmas folks. Sitting here missing the days when little kids got us up at 5am and freaked out with joy at Santa’s bounty.

Now my early-20-something’s are well sacked in for a while yet.

It’ll be a great day here. My FIL who is actually a talented chef makes beef tenderloin as a main dish that melts in your mouth. And lots of good side dishes. And I’m looking forward to that Calumet bourbon a little later.

Hope you all have a great day.

My grandson is getting into cooking now that he has his own apartment. So I gave him my autographed Emeril Lagasse cook book Emeril gave me while working Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. His restaurant did not get much damage from the hurricane but looters broke into his restaurant and took every drop of his liquor. They must have had a large truck to haul it away. He had a massive stock of booze.

I attempted to make a fruit cake years ago and failed miserably. One of my aunts made a pretty good one but she was the only one in the family that even tried. So we just bought one. In today's world my favorite is Collins Street Bakery out of Texas. I order them on line and they arrive in a nice tin and are as good as it gets. They have been doing in since 1896, I love pecans and pineapple. LOL
