Ermmm... I just did something crazy. I sent invites to pre Yule party in 4 weeks, so I don't have to go around giving friends my Yule greetings (ordinarily it's homemade mustard). (I also didn't have housewarming party 3 years ago, so...)

I kinda count on not all of them coming simultaneously (I said open doors 2-6 pm), or with all the family. If they all do, then it's 22 + me and my partner = 24... I only have seating for 17 in my apartment.

But I'm chronically exhausted. Like, seriously. The level that I haven't done vacuuming myself in over a month, I need help for that and also doing grocery shopping in person means 2 days of rest mostly in bed. So... This is madness.

Lit has indeed been unreliable. I got notified of your post - but not when @Shady_nz mentioned me nor when MrT posted.

Cas was quicker to answer you. Cointreau is a strong liquor too, 40%, and I think it's better mixed with something than on its own. Mixed with hot chocolate makes it taste like one excellent chocolate bar made by Fazer.

Thanks for the information, it sounds good.

Homemade mustard sounds delicious!

For the last two days I swore I had a large pimple that had not erupted on my nose. Quite painful and of course it was right where the nose pads of my glasses sit. Today I was putting some pimple cream on my nose and I happened to look at the glasses and guess what... there was no nose pad. I'd been walking around for two days with a sharp piece of metal digging into the skin. I felt like a fool. I went to the optometrist and five minutes later problem solved. If all my problems were so easily resolved...!

The recipe was shared in Chaos in the kitchen thread, if you want to try. It's easy. Just don't forget it totally while it simmers, you don't want to burn the bottom.

I couldn't find it in that thread, could you share here?

There's an index on the 1st page of that thread, remember. Of those that Photog1rl made into pretty ones, at least.

Crazy day today. We are spending the holiday week in Florida to visit my in-laws. We got up at 4:30 to get to the airport. The flight down was uneventful. My MIL picked us up and drove us to their house. When we got in my FIL was laying on the kitchen floor in a pool of blood. He has bad knees and his legs gave out while he was cooking. He caught his arm on the cabinet door and tore it open and he hit his head on the floor. We called 911 and they got him to the trauma center for treatment. He has torn the ligaments in his arm and will be assessed by the surgeon in the morning (they are keeping him overnight). While my in-laws were at the trauma center we then started cleaning the kitchen. My daughter said it was like the scene in Pulp Fiction. Blood everywhere. We are now resting but needless to say we are exhausted.

That sounds very concerning. My thoughts are with you.

At least your MIL doesn't have to do the cleaning which certainly makes it feel even worse. The worry about her husband is bad enough.

My FIL is in surgery today. He may have to have another operation later this week. It's looking like we'll be having Thanksgiving without him
