I have too much to do this week and here I am. Having said that I think this place is addictive in a nice way
It will taste even better.Wow!That looks reaaaally good!

I would gladly share a slice with you.May I please please please have a slice? Or all of it?!![]()
Thanks! This one was easier than my first attempt. The smell was great!!! It's like smelling all the things that make Autumn amazing rolled into one and the scent filled the entire house, even the basement. We made hand pies with the remaining filling this morning...they were sooooooooooo good.Excellent job. Looks just right. Did this one smell like the first one? LOL!!! Ireland can back me up on this, they smell and taste sooooo much better than they look, and they really look good!
I've already had to get on my parents. ha ha ha. They tried to get in the cake last night! Hopefully the pies have placated them.
Good morning!
Thinking about changing my avatar for the winter/Christmas season. Hmmm.![]()

At this point, if I could hide it I would.I hope you have something to placate them tonight and tomorrow. Of course, you could always do what my sister did when she was a little girl and wanted to prevent someone from eating it. She would make a sign that said, "DANGER! Do not eat! POISON!" We had a lot of poisonous leftovers.![]()
Your sister sounds like she was a cutie.

I don't think they'd believe me though if I put a sign on it that said poison.My Dad would probably use that as an excuse to eat it. I'll probably have to camp out near the fridge to keep an eye on it.

This is my favorite time of the year...... but sadly it comes with one of my least favorite questions being asked by family.
"What do you want?"
I WANT plenty of things, but the things on the list for things that are reasonable requests for Christmas gifts....... I already bought myself....
I either need to just start saying donate the money to a charity........ or... find long lost family members that don't mind giving new cars and stuff for Christmas presents.(Hey, it could happen..... cars as Christmas gifts happens in Lexus commercials every year at this time.

My family has been giving each other gag gifts for decades. Some of them were "bad" and some were so funny that they brought peals of laughter.

I hear ya. I gave very small list to my sister at the beginning of the month since she asked for it and what does she do? Looses it, lol!! And she didn't even realize she lost it because she asked for it again! I thought Facebook was a reliable place to put such things...
