Oh yeah we are in cookie land this morning. I crawled into bed at 4 a.m. and got up way too early. I forgot that you're having afternoon with your mom. I hope you have a good time and give her a million hugs for me. This is going to be a hard year for her. I'm sure that you will make it merry. Just don't give her some of that klaxton faux fruit cake! I have noticed the predominance of almonds and everything that I eat that has nuts in it. That is crazy because almonds do not equal black walnuts or English walnuts or macadamia nuts or anything for that matter. They're freaking almonds! I like almonds occasionally on their own and slivered almonds in a recipe that calls for it. But I don't feel crazy over it. It has almost turned me against them.

I didn't taste the finished product Oh, but I did taste the batter. The finished product usually melds their flavor for six or seven weeks. It doesn't taste the same as when it's first done so it wouldn't make a difference. Besides that, I wasn't eating sugar at all then. Imagine that no sugar? It's true.

Alexa is singing in Gloria from the background and all things from Christmas choirs. It's a beautiful day out today with the sun shining and milder temperatures then it has been in the last 2 days. My sister called this morning, video chatting to show me just how much snow she got today. Snow! How perfect is that? Christmas Eve and it's snowing. Some people have all the luck. I want to thank you my little elf friend , Soul Sister for being here always. I hope you have a nice day and they very very Merry Christmas. Love to you! 💖
