It's cold. It's dreary. And I'm going to take a hike in the woods. I tried to convince my husband to accompany me, but he doesn't fancy this weather. Me? I look forward to having the place pretty much to myself. I hope to share a few cool pictures tomorrow.
Meanwhile, do you like super dark humor? If so, and you have a few minutes, check out this Gary Larson collection. Every panel had me laughing. Have a great day!

A Bit of Good Luck, Some Holiday Flavors, and Bit of a Bummer
To get a minor disappointment out of the way, my husband told me Gary Larson asks that no one posts his Far Side comics on social media. It’s understandable since everyone has to make a living, so here is a link to The Daily Dose. I don’t know if ad blockers will prevent viewing, but be sure to show him some love by clicking on the hearts if you can and do visit.
Meanwhile, I’ve been experimenting a little in the kitchen. It started with leftover apple cider from a failed recipe. I debated how to cut the sweetness and am not a big fan of hot drinks, though mulled cider is nice. Then I remembered my reduced calorie cranberry juice cocktail contains apple. Mixing one part cider with about three parts juice, it turned out okay. Then I added a can of diet 7Up. Yum… Refreshing, too. There is no picture because, to be honest, the muddy color looks unappealing. If you try some variation or other let me know what you think.
This morning I tried a simple recipe from ‘American Lifestyle’ magazine and baked actual cookies for a change. While our ground ginger and cinnamon are ancient, the treats turned out tasty. I almost ruined them, however. This recipe calls for baking soda, not the baking powder I pulled to mix with the flour and spices. What luck I caught and corrected that error in time. I wonder how they would have turned out. Not good, I imagine.
Do you know the difference between baking soda and powder? Did you know that freezing peeled ginger root both keeps it fresh and makes shredding easier?

The Best Humor has a Grain of Truth
The term 'whippersnapper' comes to mind. Heh...
Have you ever heard this antiquated insult?

Trick or Treat
Since Gary Larson continued the Halloween theme with his website's Daily Dose, I couldn't resist. Sorry, Liz. :P And yes, Pam, I am always in the mood for this holiday. :)
