I sure would!

This describes my day yesterday, except for the traveling thousands of miles part.

Gracie and I spent it with the pups and nobody else. I texted folks and called a few. My sister's son, who lives within walking distance of us, went home to NY and didn't talk to anyone on our side of the family. Not his mother, not his brother, not my mom (his grandmother) either. Because of a few instances in the past I've decided I don't want him or his wife or kids in my circle. So I've blocked him on FB and my phone. That makes my heart heavy even saying it.

Very sad. Hurts my heart to read this. I have a nephew who also made the conscious decision to estrange himself from our family. Who knows if it can ever be fixed. But it's been over 10 years and I still hope.

Our guy's been emasculated.
 
I haven't spoken to my BIL for 30yrs....don't miss him at all.
Some people I can live without, no problem.

I am sorry that you miss your nephew though. :rose:

Hubby went out to Costco today on his day off. He didn't know Black Friday deals were going on here too. Poor guy only wanted to get a prescription refilled and some cookies...lol

We used to be close. It sucks that the wife keeps him away from all of us.

Poor guy is right. I wouldn't get near anyplace with deals. :(

I was very creative today. I made a new fig/ginger salad dressing based on a PM that GG shared with me.

I also made a green hot sauce made from some jalapeno mash that I made myself from jalapenos and salt. I used that for the hot sauce -- with Gracie's help I was able t make 27 bottles. I think that even GEC would dig the new sauce. It's sweet and spicy and savory. Since jalapenos are lower on the Scoville Scale than cayenne, I think this one might be something most could handle. My sister has an order in for two cases -- and she wants me to make some real hot ones -- so I'm going to order up some habanero mash.

Tomorrow I'm going to create labels for Christmas gifts for red and green hot sauces. I'm going to try and make them super festive.

As JB would sing -- I feel good.:cool::cool:

Hot stuff giving gifts of hot stuff, huh? :D

Just keep an eye on him Gracie, next he'll be asking the ladies if they'd like a taste of his 'special sauce'. ;)
 
The figs weren't in season as long this year as they have been in the past..
I'm going to need to start working with cranberries, pomegranates, honey, oranges.. I see a glaze in my near future

She does keep an eye on me...I think she knows. :D

I use dried mission figs. It's yummy. Hmmm....a glaze? Can I lick it off?

You could also spice up your yuletide gift giving by slipping some ghost peppers into random bottles.

Stand back and watch the fun.

You'll be able to pick the lucky recipients - they're the ones with their head in the egg nog bowl. :D
