So glad I was the first to change color this month - now I'm the slacker - lol! But, I have 75 minutes to add, bringing me to 135/500.
I have some news to share, my husband's prostate cancer has recurred, and after waiting for months for certain markers to be reached, we are finally on the path to begin treatment. He's going to be fine, but it just (insert bad words here) stinks. He will need some kind of treatment - we'll find out exactly what next week. I have feeling I'll be trying some of the recipes for treats - probably not the Buche de Noël or the sushi tree, though

My family wasn't big on holiday baking, so my holiday food memories are more about main courses. But my daughter in law goes crazy with cookies! I think she does at least a dozen varieties!
Twilight, so glad you were spared those awful tornadoes. It's amazing how different peoples' reactions are to the vaccine - I got Pfizer, and just had soreness each time. My dd got Moderna, and got the rash after the first shot, and nothing since.
Raya - good luck in your race!
Piglet - glad you're better!
