Aebleskivers Recipe from Donna

For breakfast on Christmas morning, brunch really since it was 1030, I made Aebleskivers just like the kid's Aunt Donna makes them. Well, maybe not that good, but very edible anyway. Here is a copy of her delicious recipe to go along with the Danish guy makin' em in the video previous to this post. Yummmy (hint: click on the pic to get a large version)

How to make Danish Aebleskiver

Yes, it is that time of the year again to make Aebleskiver.

And then you can be a Lumberjack!

Christmas quote

The following quote has been going around lately:

"There are many things from which I might have derived good, by which I have not profited, I dare say," returned the nephew. "Christmas among the rest. But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round -- apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that -- as a good time: a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time: the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say, God bless it!"-- Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

Cough, cough, sneeze wheeze.

Trafficman became closely acquanted with a box of Kleenex and cough syrup today at home. I went to work briefly, determined that work could get along without me today and came back home to rest. I think I have the same thing that many at work have had over the past three weeks, as well as some of my kids, both at home and at their own homes (you know who you are).

Excuse me, I have to blow my nose and take some more cough syrup.

Another kitty loss

Only a few weeks ago we had to put Tigre to sleep (she is the one on the right) and now we have lost another one. Botas (on the left) died of complicatons from liver failure. She had been lethargic since Tigre died but got worse. We took her to the vet but she was too far gone for help and we determined it best to put her to sleep. That was on the day before Thanksgiving. She was about 10 years old. This picture is about 5 years old and you can see that both Botas and Tigre looked fat and sassy. We miss our little friends. Now we are down to just one cat, our 18 pound male cat - Oso.

Only in America

Only in America do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions, while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

Update to Tigre the Cat

Tigre the cat.

Tigre died Thursday, November 8th. She was 16 years old. We had to put her to "sleep" as they say. She was suffering from kidney failure and was very sick. She had been in the vet hospital earlier in the week and had been a little better for a few days, but then she quit eating or drinking again, becoming dehydrated and very emaciated. She weighed less than 3 pounds. In the picture she is the little cat curled up next to Oso, our 18 pound big cat, who was keeping her warm. She was a sweet little kitty and we miss our little friend.
