When in Doubt? Random!

Happy Tuesday Randomizers. Are you linking up this week? go see Stacy. She's got the linky.






Well It's another Tuesday and I don't have a lot to spill and not a lot of snow to talk about, so I'll random about all the little things that don't seem to be enough to post anything long about.

Curling this past weekend was a great time for my two younger boys. They were at 2 different rinks this weekend so it took some magic scheduling but we got them there.  They had a great time and met some new friends. Lots of hand shaking and congratulating on some excellent shots. A really good sport for my boys. I call it a Gentlemen's sport as it's not quite like other Ice Sports. It's competitive but it's a friendly competitive. Most people do not go home missing teeth in Curling, or having been run over by a skate while speeding around corners. It's nice to see teams talking about great plays and well laid out rocks.

The rest of the weekend I felt like I just wasn't getting Christmas-ed up enough so I pulled out some of the decorations. I got the boxes of tree ornaments in the livingroom waiting for our Tree to show itself. The tree is in the garage but not down from the high shelf yet.  I'm going to claim hernia on that one. HA!


In other news I may be moving office. My Desk will be moved out of the livingroom, so Blogging will move to the Dinning room with better views of the Chair and all the Chair's doings. Speaking of Chair since I know you are all wondering...

I actually went outside for this shot today. chair is waiting for more snow I think. I wonder though if I should go out and move it a bit so it's straight on? those that have seen chair before what do you think? leave it or move it? ?

And while I was surfing for chair's photo I found this one!

My oldest, when he was in Grade 1. His teachers helped him with this and it came in a frame but I went to take it out for decorating at the frame was a mess. I'm hoping to take it to a photo place because the photo paper is also suffering. I took a pic with my phone so I have it stashed for all the world to see and of course forever and ever Amen internet!

So that's my Random today, oh you want more? what else...

I baked this past week too but all 88 cookies are gone! I have heard that 1 person liked them so much he's embarrassed to tell me he ate 12! . Hey I'll take that as a compliment. I'm sure the red Cookie Mix company that sold me the package will too.  Yes I faked it! But it was my egg and butter and mixing and rolling in sugar and adding of extra flour that perfected them.

I will have to bake some more but right now I'm craving a cheese burger and I'm trying not to go there. If though anyone wants to get me Island Pizza? feel free to send that my way. It has to b e from MY Island though.

Holiday Baking, Love is the Ingredient That Matters

So I was surfing along over on FB and I came across this recipe from my friend, and she posted the link. The instructions looked simple.

Food.com hosted the original recipe and I thought, Saved! I'm saved, even if it's winter I'm sure I can do this. I've seen other people with ice cubes in their house, what really could go wrong?

I sat on the idea for about 2wks. Today, I thought I can do this today, since my plan for sugar cookies is a dud without the right coloured sugar. I read the instructions over and over, I reviewed them in my head and yeah I took a picture..

So since that was going well, I figured, I can do this bigger! and I can do it better and I'll add some fruit. I even measured the water to 1/4cup... The freezer Drawer was full, so I put it in the oven to wait...

And that's when I knew something was wrong... (Hangs head in undomesticated goddess shame)

fig.3  fruity?
