Hang in there Linnie - it's almost over

 

[carrieannie]

Stolen from Brenda's thread - the guru of drinks!!

Start Christmas day with this - - guaranteed - a great day!!

Brandy Milk Punch

1 1/2 cups of milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
12 ounces of brandy*
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup very cold water
1 tablespoon vanilla

*some recipes call for bourbon but we think that's too strong for this drink*

Combine the milk, cream, brandy, sugar, water, and vanilla in a large pitcher. Stir well. Serve beverage in short tumblers (whiskey glasses) over ice; sprinkle each drink with nutmeg.

Have a great holiday everyone!!

OOOO,,,That looks yummy!!!! I`ve never seen a recipe like that! I would love to try it! Hubby already thinks I drink too much,,,imagine his surprise when I mix THAT one up on Christmas morn!!

P.S HI HIEDI

Yes,,,I worked at the liquor store tonite,,but I still have a few things to do before bed,,just hanging out and having a drink or two first.....I`m going over to the camping board now to check out what kind of responses Angela got for her trip in October for the Meet,,

I am months away from posting this segment of the trip report so hopefully you all forget this info.


.

I am positive you will amuse us with more than that when you finally do post that segment. And no, I won't forget. I have a great memory!

I'd go take a bath right now, but I'm afraid I'll scald myself or slip in the tub, fall and get a concussion. What a week.

Oh you poor thing. It's one thing after another. I think I'll say some prayers for you tonight for a smooth and wonderful weekend into the New Year!

Seriously, is Christmas over yet Jo, I can't imagine what the outside of your house looks like. With these santa's on top of your signature, it made my head spin.

Happy Anniversary OP's.

Jo??? Jo?????!!!!!

I did that and I am DM. Gosh. Now I know you have no idea who I even am. Hmmm ... that may be a good thing, maybe.

Exactly what I was thinking DM How on earth can she not know who you are though

I've been lurking and decided to speak up.


Take the kids to Bistro de Paris and give everyone something to talk about. When LtP and I dined there last October, a family came in wearing t-shirts and cut offs ( I joke not! ). We dined fairly early (6pm) so as not to miss Off Kilter followed by David Cassidy.

I believe they open at 5:30pm. 30 Days out, first thing in the morning, make your ressies. Don't look at it as you're going to bother people. Look at it as a great adventure that you may not do again until your kids are older. You'll have a lot fun describing how they snubbed the lobster and ate nothing but bread for dinner.

The absolute best meal I've had in my entire life (I eat out a lot!) was at the Bistro De Paris two weeks ago with my sister.

It looks great. My concern, more than anything, is the amount of time it will take to eat. The kids are well behaved and have made it through the other signatures, but I'm getting the impression this is like a 2 + hour meal. They may get restless by then.....

See what happens when you have a really bad cold and a migraine headache and take a left-over oxycodine. Sorry Dawn.
Plus, moderator's shouldn't hi-jack WDW TR threads it's just trouble.

yeah, that one thing looks like a soggy paper bag. Sorry, I've been missing all the fun.

What a week. Number 1-my windshield's big owie from me driving on the highway which I'm not supposed to do.

#2. I woke up Tuesday night (my anniversary) at 1:00 am, throwing up sick. No one else got sick (so it wasn't food poisoning or something) and Loud Girl was throwing up last week so I guess I got the flu bug from her. That night, I got up 3 more times to barf.

#3. Slept all day and all night Wednesday. Had to sew 5 costumes for the Christmas program this Sunday (simple ones) and draw pictures for a banner. Didn't get anything done.

#4. Trey forgot to give me his note about his Christmas program this morning so I got it with 45 mins. to spare. Go to his school and waited for his class to sing. Turned out, he got the stage fright and stayed in his room to do his math instead. Glad I spent that hour watching strangers sing.

#5. Went to LA's class to help her make a gingerbread house in the afternoon. Got stuck in traffic due to a wreck (thankfully it wasn't me) and was 10 mins. late. She was nearly a basket case by the time I got there, thinking I'd forgotten her.

#6. Went to sew the costumes for church and on the first one, my sewing machine broke.

#7. My mom brought her sewing maching out to me, plus the banner to draw the pictures one.

#8. She left, I started sewing, her machine's tension is out of whack-I couldn't even use it. No more sewing got done.

#9. The banner is satin, drawing pictures on it won't work so I have to rush and come up with something else that is ok with the other people at church. What that'll be I don't know. Maybe felt cutouts.

This is the very last Christmas program I help out with. Everything I touched today has turned to crap. Except the gingerbread house. That turned out cute.

I'd go take a bath right now, but I'm afraid I'll scald myself or slip in the tub, fall and get a concussion. What a week.

Uff Da!

Iw ent to the kids concert this morning, just to find out DS's concert was yesterday, and onl DD was singing today. BAD MOMMY.

What about fabric paint? There's that puffy paint that used to be all the rage a few years back. The felt would probably work....if you have a cricut or sizzix machine, you can use them for cutouts, too.

Good luck, adn I hope things get better!!

So sorry Linnie to hear about your bad week. I hope all gets better soon.

Don't feel sorry for her! Feel sorry for Buzz! I'm the one taking the brunt of her bad week.

You can knock it out in an hour. You can make it as long or short as anywhere else in Disney.
