I am transfixed.

Mary Berry would say, That’s a bit of all right! Smashing!

WOW!!

Not only is it mostly finance bros (finance girl here), but the first time I opened Bumble I saw 4 guys I knew within the first 20 swipes.. And the second was my ex! DELETE - ABORT MISSION!

I would slice the lemons thin rounds, don’t use the juice too much. But I like sour. Maybe saute the lemons a little to ease the sharpness, but meyers aren’t that sour. Worth a try.

so jealous of your patience with the icing!!!

Thank you! I agree. I love black kitties, too (Stella, who was formerly mine and my mother’s cat, who now just lives with her in my hometown, is also a lovely black cat).

Okay, this will sound crazy, but hear me out. Break the bananas into smaller chunks and freeze them. Once frozen put them in a blender along with a healthy amount of juice and zest from the lemons. Whizz it all up and you have healthy ice cream. Depending on how much lemon juice you use you might need to add a small…

Lemon curd with the Meyer lemons! You can use less sugar and the curd is not as sweet or tart, it’s fantastic.

Not sure when the Chevalier opened after a bunch of renovations, but it’s had quite a bit of star performers, mostly comedians. Seems like it’s a bit more intimate than Boston’s Orpheum. Also seems to be in line with the Cabot Theatre in Beverly and Lynn Memorial Auditorium.

I feel like this is like playing the Lowell Auditorium. 

And thanks to Saint’s Days, every day is a holiday for the eating if you want it to be!  

Yeah Aboriginals are like this too. Its usually either a roast or a BBQ. Unless it's a drinking holiday like New Year's and even then we have dinner New Year's day.

Jews too.  Every holiday is about stuffing your face until you are sick or fasting.  Nothing in between.

I encourage you to try it. The ingredients were kind of spendy, but it’s the holidays right? Spend it on people and food, not on things.

I made latkes for my office christmas party, they weren't my best batch but everyone ate all of them! And said they were good, so yay for that lol. 

Amazing!

Making a crack pie tomorrow. Got good reviews at Thanksgiving.

I am going to attempt to make my mother’s rum balls, as it’s the one Christmas baked good I both love and can make without a lot of specific stuff (no need for pie tins for mince pies, or trifle bowl and electric beater for trifle). I will probably not be as generous on the rum as she is. She’s a typical boozy English…

Lifehacker just had a post  by a “yule log obsessive” with a lot of tips.
