Sorry, Dave, I have been busy too.
I spent most of the day cleaning the house and getting ready for Thursday. It is incredible how much dust accumulates when you have not thoroughly cleaned it for months. I thought about this long and hard. You do not see CLEAN, but you sure see DIRTY. IE. When everything is shiny and dust free, it all blends in. But when there is some dust on a table or a lamp, or a mark on a wall, some specks of dirt on the floor, YOUR ATTENTION IS SURE DRAWN TO THAT!
WELL, I better quit expounding on the subject because I am tired and stressed and probably NOT making any sense.
On a positive note, I am waiting for the AMAZON truck to drop off a package to me.
I have decided to make cannolis for one of the desserts for Thursday. I have always bought shells from the bakery. I can remember paying 35 cents per shell. Now they want $1-$1.50 per shell. It is the filling that costs all the money because of the ingredients. The Package will contain the metal forms to make the shells. They were supposed to arrive yesterday and did not. The latest email I got was that they will arrive today. We shall see. An hour ago I made the dough for the shells. Heck, it only contains, flour, egg, butter,, sugar, cinnamon, and some white wine (3 oz.). How simple and cheap is that? And they are charging $1.50/shell! I think I may drink some of the white wine while I am frying up the shells. Couldn't hurt right? It may get me into a better mood. It will be the first time that I am attempting to make cannoli shells. Could be that they are so expensive because many of them break in the frying process.. Who knows, but nothing that a few chugs of wine won't cure, right?
I enjoyed your silhouette, Dave. It calmed me down. I shall see if there is anything that I can find to share with you today.
Well, I decided to SORT OF follow your lead, Dave.
Here's looking up also. This was a spiral staircase that the club was able to photograph at the recent visit to the Kirk In the Hills Church.
