First: My new Sous Chef, Mac. I can cut and peel, but I can't chop so he's taken over the job and like the Swedish Chef on the Muppets has thrown himself into the job.
Second: One-handed an all, I managed to make Gingerbread Men this morning. The first batch was made with whole wheat flour, because isn't that healthier? Well, they look good, but taste like nothing. The second batch was made with regular flour and taste much better.
Third: My Christmas Amaryllis is blooming its head off. The one from last year is growing, but don't know if it will bloom, so we bought a new one and it's just gorgeous.
Fourth: I have a new set of candles, they're battery operated so I don't have to worry about Miss Kitty knocking them over. She tries really hard not to knock things over, but accidents happen.
Fifth: I bought a new Christmas tray when we were out shopping yesterday, don't know what I'm going to use it for, but it was only a dollar and too pretty to not buy.
That's my 5, hope you have a wonderful weekend.
My amaryllis is all of three inches tall! I'm hoping it'll be a lot bigger by Christmas, but I doubt if it'll be flowering by then.
ReplyDeleteI think you should use the Christmas tray to display your gingerbread men :-) I hope your arm is healing well and doesn't cause too much pain. Thank you for your kind comment on my last post, I was very touched to read your words. Have a lovely Sunday. x

ReplyDeleteBeautiful things and healthy food is often not so very yummy...
ReplyDeleteMy mother likes amaryllis and has a lot of them, during decades they are blooming again and again, I'm not so sucessful with them.
I like the painting in the header.
Have a good time and get well soon for your hand
Glad your arm is feeling more comfortable with the medication and splint to ease it. Your gingerbread men look wonderful to say you made them with one hand. Love the tray and your beautiful candles:)
ReplyDeleteI'm most impressed that you managed to bake one handed. Your amaryllis is beautiful, I haven't bought one this year and I'm missing it already.
ReplyDeleteYou are well on your way to being ready for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love the tray and a real bargain. Impressive baking with one hand albeit with a wonderful assistant. The gingerbread men certainly look impressive.
ReplyDeleteYour red battery operated candles look so pretty. Happy Holiday Season!
ReplyDeleteAs I just returned from Egypt, I haven't done anything for Christmas yet. But we have the intention to start decoration tomorrow !
ReplyDeleteIt takes real courage to bake gingerbread men with one hand. Kudos to you, Dear.
