MM Knights in White Satin w/Late Lament

Late Lament

“Breathe deep the gathering gloom Watch lights fade from every room Bedsitter people look back and lament Another day’s useless energy spent. Impassioned lovers wrestle as one, Lonely man cries for love and has none. New mother picks up and suckles her son, Senior citizens wish they were young.

It’s 3:14 am and I can’t sleep

So much on my mind, so many problems..with no solutions that won’t hurt others. So what do I do instead…I watch this.

This is my absolute favorite movie. I love the song too. But I better get my sorry butt to bed and force myself to sleep. Tomorrow morning will come fast and I have to be ready for the morning chaos.
On second thought, let’s make this a little fun. First three commenters who get the name of the movie right AND the name of the song right, will win >drum roll please< 400 EC credits. How’s that for fun Remember, you must know the name of the movie and the name of the song to win.

This one is easy…

oh and I’m sorry for not replying to everyone’s comments. I will get to them all this week. Some of your comments in the past posts were excellent, thank you. As you all know, time is not very often on my side, but I didn’t want any of you to think I didn’t notice, and wasn’t going to reply back. I will. I want to.

Baking this year is turning out to be a chore made in hell. How in the hell can you mix, spoon, bake, take off the trays to cool, while holding a screaming baby, and trying to keep the other ones fingers out of everything? Dealing with a million phone calls from back home about my dad dying, dealing with the roofer fixing the roof, etc etc.

God help me. Better yet..you all help me. Send me your favorite cookies…homemade of course Aww heck, I know I know, wish in one hand, shit in the other and see which one is heavier right? hahahaha. Can’t blame me for trying.

I love blogging to you guys.

Missing Ingredients. Blame it on the Ditz

Spicybugz — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 21:39:51 +0000

I started my cookie baking today. I found out that there are several things I forgot to pick up, including the baking soda, baking powder, and now add to the list, condensed sweetened milk, that I need to make the miracle bars. I had one can already here so I was able to make one batch, but when I put the second batch together, and ready to pour the sweetened milk over the top, I discovered I don’t have it. So I put the pan aside and will have to get to the store to buy my missing ingredients. I’m turning into a ditz.

I’m going to make Eva’s tea cookies next. They look simple and really good. I think I have all the stuff I need to bake them. Either way, I have to go to the store. Maybe I can get Dr. Corny to stop for me and bring them home. That would be nice. Maybe he will tell me I need some ellipticals. The backside is getting rather large these days.

Christmas Cookie Linky Love

I posted a while back that I would post my readers favorite Christmas Cookie Recipe if you posted it in a comment or emailed it to me.

Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies
Sent by: Stormdrane
INGREDIENTS

* 1 cup white sugar
* 1 cup butter, softened
* 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 egg yolk
* 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, butter, cream cheese, salt, almond and vanilla extracts, and egg yolk. Beat until smooth. Stir in flour until well blended. Chill the dough for 8 hours, or overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough 1/3 at a time to 1/8 inch thickness, refrigerating remaining dough until ready to use. Cut into desired shapes with lightly floured cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Leave cookies plain for frosting, or brush with slightly beaten egg white and sprinkle with candy sprinkles or colored sugar.
4. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until light and golden brown. Cool cookies completely before frosting.

Christmas Cookie Favorites

Right after Thanksgiving I am going to attempt to bake Christmas Cookies this year. I say attempt, because of the little ones.

I figure if I can make the doughs while they are sleeping each day, then I can bake them while they are awake. I’m hoping it turns out ok.

The problem is, I seemed to have lost my Christmas Cookie recipes. Must of happened during the move from PA to FL. I have searched high and low for the one recipe book that I had that was also packed full of pieces of paper that had so many recipes hand written on.

So, help me out here, share your favorite holiday cookies and recipe. Simple is good. Tastier is even better

Don’t forget about the CONTEST going on right now here at Spicybug’z World!

PS If your looking for some unique gifts for the holidays, check out my sidebar.

Also I should add, that I will make a post in the very near future, posting everyone’s recipes with a link back to your site.
