    Date Nut Bread – a tasty and popular holiday treat. However, the kits heard “Date” and really got into it. Enjoy!

    I love Mr. Spazzers and the wee kit asking for a date. 😀




    Am I the only one who thinks it odd to want to bake bread in a tin can? It’s Friday going into a long weekend for Christmas. Enjoy!

    Have a happy~

    Greetings TDKers, I’m back after my short but fun two days away to meet up with Airy and then drive back home with her. it was a 330 mile trip back on a scorching hot day and we stopped to shop several times but we made it home for Mum’s birthday dinner. KK and Mr KK also drove up that day. Mum is now 96 and going strong.
    Today was spent shopping for food for the Christmas Day meals and last minute gift shopping. I am officially exhausted and worn out having walked 5.7 miles so far today most of it with a cramping calf muscle. Ouch ! I’ll sleep well tonight that’s for sure.

    Cute pics today KJ and PG and MS–and that last one of the interrogation committee would be my house, but you’d have to add 2 cats to the mix!

    It’s dark and drizzly this morning, aaahhhhh, and 50 degrees! 😳 AND the lights in the top of my tree burned out *sigh* oh well, I’m not taking the strand off at this point; so it is what it is!

    I don’t think I’ve ever had date nut bread, but I did have a mini-banana muffin this morning with coffee…it was yummy and Peso ran off with the muffin paper to play with. He is such a bratty toddler type cat, but endearing in his playfulness.

    Well I’ve been on some bad dates in my time, looking back sorta amewsing. Some time ago friend went on blind date. The guy’s plan was to take her to MacDonalds where he’d planned to use his coupons! Never mind the fact that friend not only kept kosher but is vegetarian. We did laugh about it though! 🙄

    Bitterly cold out and one must be careful walking as black ice seemingly appears out of nowhere! But the very first sweater that I made – knitted in thick yet relatively light Icelandic lopi wool – is being worn for purrhaps the 3rd time and I made it like 14 yrs ago! It is beyond warm! 🙂

    And so much for my austerity program. Ordered me a black down coat as the one that I have is getting a bit shoddy. Way low price! Free shipping. And if I don’t like it. short trip to store to return.

    KJ, that date from hell is like something out of a comedy show. I’m waiting for the sales too to shop for a new coat, as mine is a bit ratty now.

    Livia is stir-crazy…

    You had a busy day MS and of course, you stopped to shop. What’s the point if you and Airy didn’t get out and about! Happy Birthday to your Mum. With all the family and fun coming up, you better massage your calf.

    That is too funny KJ…in hindsight. If you can stand the crowds, right after Christmas are the best sales.

    The sun is out and the temp. is up to 20f/-6c but Miss Gaea doesn’t want to go outside. She’s driving all of us crazy. Oh, she went out and found the warm area on the sidewalk.

    Love the coffee cup, JK. Hi Brutie.

    Haha, so Mr. Spazzers doesn’t like Bob Barker, eh? He blames him for this neutering thing, I guess.

    Bread baking in a tin can? Sounds interesting.

    Welcome home, MS. Hope you slept well and that calf cramping settled down.

    Bummer about the lights, KZ. I’m sure your tree still looks very pretty!
    Peso sounds like so much fun, makes me sort of miss Aslan. Sort of. Sometimes I want to tell his new family I want him back, then I remember how much my cats like him. *eyeroll* Last I heard, Aslan is happy, so I’m happy for him and his family. I keep having to remind myself that a foster is not mine to keep.

    McDonalds on any first date is doomed, much less with a kosher vegetarian! Your sweater must be so cozy, KJ. I have a sweater that my mom made umpteen years ago that I still wear when it’s really cold.

    Hi JK – oh look, it’s Brutie, helping out the elves!

    Poor Livia, it’s too cold out!

    Can we take a moment to remember a late TDKr? Our own Cheri’s birthday is today. I hope she is finally at peace, purrhaps with her beloved Velvet and Spice. Happy Birthday in heaven, dear friend.

    We didn’t work too late today, the phone finally settled down. I guess it’s close enough to Christmas where people are focused on the holiday instead of going to the doctor.

    Oh and boy did I get a surprise this morning. My crazy ex-boss sent me a fb friend request. Seriously??? Maybe she got hacked and she still has me in her address book. I’ve long since deleted her from mine!

    Yawn, peeking back in to report had an enjoyable catered lunch from
    local Italian place! Veggie Lasagna – yum, Italian Beef Sammies, tossed salad, fresh crisp Italian rolls – plus Italian Xmas Cookies! More than enough to eat. Had our little secret Santa gift exchange too!
    Now, time for end of day…

    Sharing wishes for a wonderful Christmas weekend.
    Merry Christmas
    Doggie Friday wishes for All!

    Back on board Wednesday!
    Santa list
    PS – café kits have made out their list for Santa too!

    Good morning all, it’s a n overcast-ish day but hot and muggy. Been out doing a few last minute little bits of shopping this morning and then doing early prep of food for Monday.
    KZ, I have actually come home from a date late or really in the wee small hours of the morning and faced MOTHER at the door asking “where the hell have you been”. My date scarpered so quickly he almost left skid marks on the driveway. We had been on our second post orchestral musical performance date and he has stuck around now for over 40 years. 😀 😀
    I have just discovered another set of dead solar lights, I may try putting in a new battery to see if that helps them revive.
    LOL at Fluffy & Mittens.
    I had a favourite date nut bread recipe that I made without the dates many years ago. Does that count?
    KJ, keep safe on that black ice. We know you will be warm though.
    Awwwwwwwwwwww Brutie you handsome boy.
    PG, calf has been massaged with arnica gel and feels so much better but threatens to cramp up when I am out and about walking. I’ll just have to keep massaging it whenever I can. I have baked breads in a tin can PG, in the ashes of a campfire when I was a Girl Guide and tins came with metal lids that you could put back on(am I dating myself?).
    Thank you for the reminder of Cheri’s birthday JJ. May she be having a wonderful Birthday in Heaven.
    What? ! ! JJ, you mean the nasty lady? Good grief has she had a major life change or something.
    Time for lunch and then whatever Airy has planned for us this afternoon. Hopefully not as much walking as yesterday, I did almost 10km. For me that is a lot.
    Catch you all later.
