I have a laptop, but access to the Net will be limited until I get to Iowa City on the 25th. (yes I'm traveling on Christmas, trying to avoid the pre-Christmas travel crowds).
None of you folks has invented that drug for FR withdrawal, yet, huh?
So, and !
Oh! I'm so glad it got there in time. I was beginning to wonder. You did open it didn't you?
Enjoy! I'm off shortly! Still have much to do.
Excellent point.
Thanks, Deb, as always for the great links and reads :)
I found a wonderful colour paste at the local chemist (pharmacy) they specialise in hiring out speciality cake tins and you can premade ediable decorations etc etc there. They have all manner of colours and this one is called Christmas red it is very red. As I needed to use so much I decided to buy this expensive one rather than use a cheap colouring
Oh I L...it, when You "gargantisize" (another "Purpleism" LOL!) text greetings!
Ummm-hmmm, that's IT. The English version of the Red Velvet Cake. And I usually use a 10" pan (tin). Well done.
I actually got the recipe from a neighbor, who got it from a relative who had the cake in Hawaii in a restaurant, then asked for the recipe, which the chef gave her, then charged her $100 on her bill.
She called it the $100 cake.
I think this recipe takes on a life of it's own, much like Flat Stanley.
I have to wrap about 8 presents before I go to bed. The girls at work all give each other Christmas presents, cards to write for work as well. Will I get it all done probably not LOL.
LOL! Whatever works! Personally, I always read the transcripts. No matter how closely you listen, there are volumes spoken between the lines that are generally missed.
That's the lovely song that plays throughout this lovely PowerPoint Christmas presentation, and the message and gorgeous pictures are truly magnified with this very pretty song.

If you haven't seen it, just copy and paste into your browser. I wish I had the link to it WITH the music, but it came in email without a link. If you haven't seen it, it's truly beautiful and heartwarming. Enjoy!
They may call Homeland Security thinking they have a terroist! LOLOL~~
Oh, in that case, MERRY CHRISTMAS, RH. Have a safe journey and a blessed Christmas.
Noooooo problem, snugs! The Dose comes FIRST!!! I am just happy to know it got there.
Yummy... looks so good!
I've alays wanted to try and never have eaten a red velvet cake...From what I hear they are delicious & super moist.
When you say alone do you mean alone or with hubby? Hope you do not have fridge problems this year LOL.
I will post a dose on Christmas Day by the way for those who are home alone - any good ideas are welcome including special photo requests - will do my best to find them.
Most beautious! Thank you.
We have those pump plastic bottle things in our hospitals at the entrance and exit to each ward.
Why didn't you think of the tree??? It is really gorgeous and it would have been a nice thing for us to do. Although, we had a pretty good last night, I think! ;*)
Backatcha Dr. Enjoy the ride.
I figured that ;)
I'm not thrilled with the guy either (who is?), but this has to be awkward for him too, stepping into a job that was held by a living legend like Rummy. I don't envy that.
