I've been looking up some dessert recipes, my favorite, haha. Went out to try to shop yesterday, but wasn't really into it. May try again later.

It's currently 33F, cloudy with periods of rain. High 43F. Winds E at 5 to 10 mph. Rainfall may reach one inch.
Wishing all a smooth Thursday. ☔🕊️

good morning
Jo, we went out yesterday, and shopping was a success! 2nd place, how fun! The sweater was really cute. Have fun baking cookies! I was thinking about making some rugelach, they seem festive.

good morning
Enjoy your vacation, Ed.
It's currently 30F, Considerable clouds this morning. Some decrease in clouds later in the day. High 37F. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph. Brrr.
I think I'll bake cookies today. Maybe the kids can come over for a while.
Happy Sunday, everyone. 🕎🎄🎁🍪0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous sunny Sunday!
We have -1 (Celsius) sunny degrees (feels like -5) with an expected high of 7 under sunny skies and 1% chance of precipitation.
The cold is back, at least temporarily, perhaps in preparation for the solstice. It's hard to believe it's just a week until Christmas, and two weeks until the new year. I need to get some collards for the new year, and make sure I have some black-eyed peas in the cupboard. There is a chunk of smoked hog jowl somewhere in the deep freezer in the garage already, and a ham bone, if I can find it and it isn't too badly freezer burned.
I got out to Lidl yesterday for the $0.95/pound bone in shank end glazed spiral sliced ham, and got a good chunk of the shopping list there, but still need to get to Kroger today for the rest.
Day 18 of the Advent wine calendar presents Lovely Branches Merlot from the Thracian Lowlands of Bulgaria. The cheese Advent calendar presents smoked aged Cheddar. The chocolate for the day is an orange mousse caramel truffle.

I just had to go back to Lidl today and buy these. They are so cute, and we haven't yet had any fudge this season.

Good morning;
We got all the cookies done. I now just have to package them all up for delivery to my coworkers.

Happy Hanukkah!
Today on the agenda is house cleaning, running errands and a mani-pedi.
Wishing everyone a great start to a new week! 0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday!
We have 0 (Celsius) sunny degrees (feels like -2) with an expected high of 10 under partly sunny skies and 6% chance of rain.
I had a lovely staycation breakfast of biscuits and sausage gravy this morning. I remember that being one of my favorite breakfast items from NS, but then they discontinued it, along with a lot of other favorites from all the meals, and I finally got disenchanted with the program. Oh well, as good as their biscuits and gravy were, mine are tastier! LOL.
Those cookies look great, Jo. Happy Hannukah!
Day 19 of the Advent wine calendar presents Winter Adventure white blend from Portugal. The cheese Advent calendar presents jalapeño Gouda. The chocolate for the day is an orange latte macchiato truffle.

good morning
Jo, those cookies look great! What a nice treat for your coworkers! Enjoy your mani-pedi!
Ed, you must be enjoying those wonderful advent selections and your time off!
Irene, I'm sure you're busy getting ready for the holiday.
I made rugelach yesterday. My daughter and her family came over while we were putting the filling in and rolling them up. I used gluten free flour, so it was a little off and they didn't hold together all that well (not picture worthy!). They are delicious and sharable all the same.
I have an appt this afternoon for a cervical MRI. I'll get a copy sent to my rheumatologist to get her opinion too.
Chilly here today. Currently 30F, partly cloudy. High 38F. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph.
Wishing all an easy week. 🕊️🕎🎄🎁🍪

SCAM OF THE WEEK:
TikTok Filter Scams
The social media app TikTok is popular for its creative audio and visual filters. TikTok adds and removes filters frequently, so some users may look for ways to access filters that haven't been added. Now, cybercriminals are taking advantage of the demand for new filters to manipulate you into downloading malware.
In a recent scam, cybercriminals share malicious links across TikTok and other platforms. They claim that these links will download filters that haven't been added to the app. If you click the link and download the file, it may contain the filter you’re expecting. However, it may also contain malware that cybercriminals can use to monitor your device and steal your sensitive information, such as your login credentials.
Follow the tips below to stay safe from similar scams:
• Always think before you click. This type of cyberattack is designed to trigger you to click impulsively by offering exclusive content.
• Never download files from an unverified source. Files that install and run as expected could still contain malware without you knowing.
• Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on your accounts when it is available. MFA adds a layer of security by requiring that you provide additional verification to log in to your account.

Jo the cookies look great. Jo have you heard from Mike Torres lately0 -
I picked up some Kringle today at Aldi, for the final week before Christmas.

Irene, I haven't heard from Mike Torre in a week now. I know his health hasn't been great, and suspect he may be back in the hospital.
I guess we can only hope to hear from him soon.

Good morning;
Irene-I haven't heard from Mike since some time last week. I hope he is ok.
Ed-enjoy your staycation. Thanks for the latest scam alert.
Vix-good luck with your MRI.
Back to work today. I suspect it will be a long and very busy week.
Enjoy your day! 0 -

good morning
I hope Mike is ok. I took myself off the emails, but we exchange holiday cards. I haven't heard from him either and I was wondering if there was something wrong. Irene, let us know if you hear anything.
Jo, I hope work isn't too hard this week. I'm sure it's super busy. MRIs don't bother me. My rheumatologist said she'd call me after she gets the results.
Ed, those Kringles look good. My Dad used to eat pastry like that for breakfast. Different times!
I have my clay crafters this afternoon to fill my day.
It's cold outside, 29F, sunny to partly cloudy. High around 40F. Winds light and variable.
Wishing all a gratifying Tuesday. 🌞🕊️🕎🎄🎁🍪0 -
