Sorry; I meant a video cab view - a camera in the front window of the front car of the train, seeing what the driver sees.
One of my husband’s favorite things - especially at Christmas - is Brandied Cherries - nice over ice cream, or in cocktails; but I think the Husband Unit would eat them out of a bowl ;-)

I just jumped trains as a kid.
Would hop off at the edge of town.
I haven't made it though. So many good ideas.
You dangerous boy, you!

My girlfriend from High School used to call those fancy cakes from the grocery store ‘Crisco Cakes’ - because the icing was usually made from that.
She laughed at them - but I think her wedding cake was probably iced with the same, because that’s how they did things back then ;-)

I always came home LOL
My favorite song that mentions a train - (my high-school Cherokee-boy sweetheart used to sing it for me):

I did not know Hank was Cherokee
Dated a Buffalo gal once, she could not sing for spit, course neither can I LOL
Huge cookie lover here. Please put aside a plate of snickerdoodles & sugar cookies & I will be over later to pick them up. ; )
Oh, & thank you.
Gnight and Happy Holidays
That is my husband’s favorite & I have never made one. I showed him that picture & he said, “That is the most beautiful cake ever!” Next March I am baking it for his birthday!
I don’t know that Hank was a Cherokee - but my boyfriend was!
(And that song is an example of American poetry of the common man.)
Go to sleep, now, darling.
G’nite!
And to think I used to SCOFF at Snickerdoodles! The older I get, the more I appreciate a well-made, hand-crafted cookie. ;)
The photo came from Wikipedia:

But there are lots of recipes, and wonderful, different ways to compose and decorate the cake. Just do a search.
I didn't know how to pipe with bags and tips back then. Just how to make roses with one tip and a flower nail.
I hope I don't screw up the cherry tapioca. Put in the sugar last and I want the pearls translucent but not to cook away. Might have used too much sugar. Sour cherries and that tart juice are super sour and hard to taste when it is so hot.
I made the milk and egg tapioca with my other box of large pearls, used the whole box. When it takes a long time to cook and involves a lot, no point in just making a little. It keeps for several days. Wasn't bad.
My daughter left and said I have a baby possum under my porch. I will have to put out more treats at night.
Stunning guitar work here...
I'll find a good one.
