Merry Christmas!
I usually don’t write at this hour of the morning (5:45 am) but I realized that if I don’t write this now, it wouldn’t get written this weekend.
This has been a long week at work – there is rumor going around that we’ll be getting off early today – but nobody knows exactly when….
We’re going to overdose on Star Wars this weekend. That’s right we’re going to watch all six movies, in order. <grin> I’ve seen everything but the third prequel. It will be interesting to see how the stories intersect. One thing is for sure – the special effects are much better now than they were back in the 70’s when the original Star Wars came out.
I don’t that special effects only make a good movie – there has to be story there as well. When I watched Twister, I found I could tell the difference between the real tornado footage and the computer generated ones. But then, I watched a lot of tornado films during my time as a weather guesser in the Navy.
One thing that I loved about the first Star Wars movie was the soundtrack. I have listened to that John Williams score numerous times.
We have a friend that will be giving us a deep fat fried turkey for Christmas. That seems to be a southern thing. I did notice that the hardware store that sold turkey fryers – complete with demonstrations this time of year - has gone out of business. Hmm… I’m not too sure about how the fried turkey will turn out that so I have a Butterball turkey breast in reserve. I’ve never had a bad Butterball!
I’ll be making sugar-free sugar cookies this year. I guess they really aren’t sugar cookies… I mentioned to my husband that I had to find my cookie cutters. I know I have a couple squirreled around somewhere. So yesterday, my husband went out a got me a bunch of cookie cutters – including some that I have no idea of what they are– so I guess I’ll just use the ones I recognize.
I haven’t done much baking since our home went sugarless some five years ago. But the urge to bake never really fades … so I spent some time looking at recipes on the Equal site. The apple pie has been a bit hit …
I hope that you and yours all have a very Merry Christmas!
Take care & enjoy,
Florence
