Word of the Day

Hortitorture - The mistreatment of one's plants; usually resulting in their demise.

My laundry is all done, folded and stowed. I'm moving a bit slow today. I've got the worst, painful, stiff neck. It struck last night. Don't know why. But, anyway, it's slowing me down a bit. I'd planned to do a lot more today. I did finish up ALL the Christmas present wrapping. ALL DONE! I mean it this time. I finished making two batches of Cinnamon Jan Hagel and I've got another two batches of Almond Jan Hagel in the oven right now. I plan to make sugar-free versions of both, another four batches of cookies, before I quit tonight. I'll have to make the Russian Teacakes tomorrow. Maybe HTP will lend a hand on that. Those are his favorite cookies. The thing is that they need to be dusted with powdered sugar and I'm not happy with my sugar-free version of powdered sugar. Heck! I may just go ahead and dust them with the real stuff. I don't think that the little dusting of powdered sugar will cause too many diabetic problems. Into life, a bit of sugar must fall. In the meantime, I've trying to drive HTP nuts with the Christmas music I'm shaking the house with.
