All I Want For Christmas..

[Shell B]

I heard I did pretty good on some gifting, and the warm fuzzy is quite a nice Christmas present for moi.

Took some friends out for steaks last week, and during the meal, the conversation drifted towards the decline in quality at the local grocers meat dept.

I chuckled under my breath, I had in the back of the SUV an additional present for my supper guests; a large gift box of a dozen individually vacuum sealed and flash frozen aged prime steaks.

They were so surprised, and I was so happy knowing before giving them the steaks that it was going to be a really appreciated gift.


Additionally, since the unfortunate blood sugar results from my recent checkup, I was stuck with quite a pile of ingredients for some rather lethal caramels.  I went ahead and made them and passed them on at 12 Steppers and I dare say it was a caramel massacre.

(for those of you who don't know, 12 Steppers are almost invariably sugar fiends, and bringing caramels to the assembled  masses was like flinging crippled  goats into the lion cage at the zoo)

It's as true for narcotics as alcohol. I learned that when I was staying in a mixed ward for some anxiety I was having. There was an anything she could get her hands on addict who would dump like fourteen sugars into her small styrofoam cup of coffee every morning. I got the jitters just looking at her.

It works like an oven

I'm glad. Warm food is good for the belly.
