    Sister Sue and I would shop for trees together every year, usually on what ended up being the coldest day of the year. Our best trees were bought on the 23rd one year - perfect shape and height and only $7. Her husband would always suggest we get an artificial tree. We refused for the longest time. Finally, 25 years ago or so, we couldn't find a decent tree for under $50 so we ended up at Seasonal Concepts and bought a fake tree. I got home from work one day and she had left me a message - when you put up the tree, do it naked. The instructions suggested shaking each branch over a sheet to get any loose "needles" to drop on the sheet for removal later. However, the stupid things clung to her clothes and she ended up with them all over the house. I quit feeling guilty when I realized I wouldn't have to drag the tree to the curb by myself when it was ready for the trash. I still have that tree.

    It is a version where you have to click each branch onto the trunk. I finally figured out that the best way to put the lights on the tree was to put the first level of branches on, lay the lights on those branches, add the next layer of branches, lay the lights on those branches, and so on. It works really well.

    They are still his favorite. I am keeping him well supplied.

    With the brothers around though, they are going through a big bag of them every 2 days.

    Every time I see that, I think “crap — what did I write that might have done it?”

    Don’t think it was me though.

    That beats my standard Zatarain's spicy jambalaya(smoked sausage) with zucchini and onions.

    Good point. No. I was mostly asking for the general area of unrest.

    Speaking of yummy, the cookbook at my son's school can use recipes in pretty much any category although the main dishes has by far the most.

    Categories: Beverages/Appetizers, Vegetables/Side Dishes, Main Courses, Desserts, Cookies/Candy, This and That

    There might be one more that I can't remember right now. Only one cookie recipe so far and only 2 vegetable/side dishes.

    Does “see bottle or can of Diet Mountain Dew, open, consume” count as a beverage recipe? I’ve greatly scaled back my soda consumption but still partake.

    Scaling back on soda consumption but making Diet Mountain Dew the exception? Uhm, OK, you do you.

    60-72 ounces a day down to 24. Sometimes you have to take the small victories.

    Holly the heroic dog swam after four ducks today, seemed like she was headed to New Hamster, but eventually turned around. Fun!
