    What's For Breakfast...

    Yes, for rum cake you do. You use rum as the liquid, put rum glaze on top, and serve immediately. But for fruitcake you soak in plain rum for a few weeks. It has to be put away to set the flavors.

    I forgot. I haven't really had time to have full meals. I know I had 2 eggs....

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I don't care how old it is; I won't drink drip-brew on principle. The Italians perfected coffee via espresso and everyone else ruined it by watering it down and taking pressure out of the equation. It't the pressure that forces the essence and flavor out of those grounds. I will make an...

    Don't know George Noory, so Art Bell. Astaire or Kelly?

    What's For Breakfast...

    Me, too. And I thought I was picky about stuff. I guess cooking is the one thing I'm not so exacting about, and Mom is. It drives her nuts when she wants my recipe for something and I can't remember how much of this or that I put in.

    Now that I think about it, the phrase was always ended with "...for cream?" And that's what I say to people also.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I'm in the middle of catching up on Grey's Anatomy.

    Annnnd she corrected me again and said it's 2 T rum every week. I don't see the diff between that and 1/4 cup every other week or 3. Moms....

    Room for cream or filled to the top. I've been hearing that phrase for 20 years.

    I refuse to even buy so much as a candy cane before Thanksgiving. I even bought a fall wreath today.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    My coworker says all my hairdos are "classic". And when I told my other skirt-loving coworker that I finally got my new skirts that I'd ordered online, her immediate response was "What era are they?" Ha--she knows me.

    Autumnal Thoughts........

    We didn't get any of the snow. I guess it's still fall here. There are a few leaves holding on tenuously. The beautiful color is gone. It doesn't stay long.

    Oops--my mom says put rum each week and make sure to keep covered in foil always, or they'll dry out. I guess if you're a teetotaller it's a no-go.

    I'm from CA and have lived in the midwest for 13 years. They have always been drapes to me. It's whatever word your family uses.

    5 red lipsticks for $10.50

    It's fair for something that is not really matte. I have a L'Oreal that stays on a bit better but goodness, is it ever matte!

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I've got another one: OK, so I'm not officially on the disabled list, but I have problems. I've been bussing it for a couple of months while looking for another car, so I take a rolling cart with me since I can't carry all my stuff without pain, especially when grocery shopping. I take one of...

    My mom has the best tropical fruitcake recipe ever. It even has brazil nuts. I'll post if anyone wants.

    Baking powder facial scrub

    I was doing baking soda for a long time. I only switched to apricot scrub on a lark, because I like the smell, and don't have to do a ph-balancing toner like I did with b.s.
