corn is everywhere

True now, but in olden days it was so scarce that it was used as a form of legal tender, for paying attorneys. This is where we get the phrase tort-tillas.

The difference between a rich baker and a poor baker.

A rich baker has a lot of dough, while a poor baker needs a lot of dough.

Yeast a little bit of humor. I hope it gets a rise out of someone. Maybe people will think it half-baked, but batter up. I hope I don’t get rolled for that one, because someone might think I was waffling.

And that led to the old joke, “Is that an ear of corn in your briefs, or are you just a lawyer?”

I’m cheating this year - I’m preparing cheesecake cups - putting the already prepared cheesecake filling (from Kraft) into holiday cupcake papers. The filling comes in plain and chocolate. Then, I’m going to sprinkle the top with some green and red sprinkles for the plain ones, and silver (if I can find it) sprinkles - to match the silver cupcake papers.

I can do a tray full every evening for 2-3 days, and by our office party, I should have more than enough for everyone to have at least 2. No baking, no slaving, just a fun and tasty treat.

I’ve even saved some serving trays to make a pretty display.

I decided on this because I work at a nursing home for Seniros with Alzheimer’s. This kind of treat is much better for them than cookies or candy.

Of course, I plan to make enough to treat my family for our celebration.

Well .. I actually work in the office - but you can’t help but become attached to some of the seniors. I’m proud to work for a company who prides itself on giving these seniors as pleasant a life as possible.

I took care of my own mom for 3-1/2 years. She’s passed away now, but I treasure the time I had with her even though some of it was quite difficult.
