Happy T and This and That

   Hello everyone,

Hoping your December is going well so far. We are still having bits of fog in the mornings, and I caught a beautiful sunrise over the water this week.

   Tuesday's is where we share T with our hostess Bleubeard and Elizabeth-find link in my sidebar. We gather together to share and also to share a drink related photo.

   I am still sewing hexies, sewed a few blocks for my Yellowstone inspired quilt, but for a couple days now I needed to re tie my wool quilt. I tied this one with crochet thread which I have used in the past but these ties would not stay tied-I was constantly re tying them ugh  I have never had this happen before and I have tied Allot of quilts over the years. Wondering if it was because of the thick wool? 

   So I re tied it with wool yarn, and just finished it. I just sat on the floor and worked on this while watching something on RSBN network. I started out with this large hoop for awhile but decided it was just as easy to go row by row on the floor.

    After dipping chocolates, I still had a whole bag of white and little left of the dark. So I wanted to use this up making chocolate barks. Melting the white and then sprinkling crushed red peppermints on top.  This did not want to set up-perhaps in the freezer too long not sure so I put it all back in the pan added the rest of the dark chocolate and when melted added in almond slivers and the pineapple and poured it out on the marble slab thicker. This also had those peppermint candies that I had sprinkled on top. This one set up like soft fudge-so at least it was useable and tastes good-so more chocolates in the freezer haha  I will gift allot of these chocolates.

  A couple guys that help Larry when they can love these Christmas treats. I will be making the peanut brittle for them.

  I haven't been feeling good this week, the up and down weather always gets to me and I ate too many nuts-I know better too-but my body does Not like them. No fun getting my digestive system working again.  This morning I decided to make a cup of peppermint tea that was gifted to me from Mia  and then I just haven't eaten much today-a fresh pear, a couple scrambled eggs, maybe a little yogurt tonight

    Here are some lake views from the last couple of days

This sun was actually a very bright red but the photo did not pick that up

We also enjoyed a popcorn night

   I like to use a quality olive oil instead of butter and I just picked up this hand mined salt from Utah at the Amish store-which was really nice on the popcorn very fine. and this is our favorite popcorn-very very tender I get it online.

This popper is is over 30 years old now and still going strong 😀

Happy T everyone
