Thanksgiving Day Rush

I don't know what it is about Thanksgiving Day, but you humans sure do love your food and parades.  It's very hectic in the Mines this time of year as well.  What, with all the last minute checking and double checking, it's enough to make someone go bonkers!  I suppose the same holds true for you guys as well.  There's much to prepare for.  Shopping, wrapping, cooking, baking, mining... call it what you will, there are so many rituals and ceremonial-like goings on in order to get ready for that one special day. 

So, as I was surfing the world wide web (do you people even call it that anymore?)  I stumbled across this cute little recipe.  My world is surrounded by coal... actual COAL... but if you were thinking of bringing some of my world into yours, here's a recipe for some homemade candy coal.  Even if your loved ones were good this year and are definitely on the nice list, wouldn't this be a funny little reminder that they COULD be on the naughty list? 

 

Believe it or not, this is a picture of CANDY... check out the Sprinkle Bakes site to see how it's done!

Contest on my Mind....

Thinking thinking thinking.... How can we celebrate the upcoming Big Night together?  Got a quiz/trivia game storming in my mind.  Stay tuned for more details!

47 Days til The Big Night

New to this blogging business.  Here's my place for you to ask me what you will.  Leave me a comment or two and feel free to ask me whatever it is you wish.  Maybe through our dialogue you can have a better understanding of where I'm coming from and vice-versa.

Maybe we'll soon see that we're not so different after all!
