It’s a good night for a giant vodka cocktail that’ll knock ya right out. Medicinal.
Recipe is Orange Crush from the handy Drinkable app. It’s supposed to be shot glass size, but I just up the quantities and make it a tumbler.

Such an ordinary brand, but it’s the one my mother always used, and her iced tea was really good, so I continue to buy. It’s the time of the year when these little memories become so important.
Fixing the iced tea for the big lunch.
Things spouses say to each other. 😃
Since I was a child, a family tradidtion was to leave the Christmas tree lights on all night from Christmas Eve night into Christmas day. No particular reason for it, but I liked it so I always continued it.
Last night spouse forgets and turns off the lights at bedtime, so that left it wide open for me to sigh and say, “another family tradition MERCILESSLY shat upon!” 😂
All I had to do was walk over to the switch and turn them back on. 😈
It’s all done in fun. It really is! ❤️
Thinking of Ron Popeil and Ronco, though I’d never buy that Showtime rotisserie he advertised. It looked messy and uncleanable.
I enjoy countertop electrics, those “electrodomésticos.” I have three slow cookers (Crock Pots) of various sizes, a toaster oven, blender, a “Foreman” grill, waffle maker, etc.
Each one designed to perform some specific miracle.
I bought a cheap (starter model, I guess) food dehydrator as a holiday gift to myself a few days ago. I want to see if I like it. I travel a lot for work and could use the snacks that can supposedly be made in one of these.
This cheap dehydrator arrived yesterday afternoon, and I immediately set out on a test run with bananas.
I didn’t realize that it can take a long time to get some things dry, and in the case of bananas, crispy. Maybe these banana chips will end up costing $400 in electricity.
The included book said some things can take 38 hours. ⚡😱
I scored a 20 oz (567 g) bag of roasted pistachios the other day at a good price. Once I start eating them, stopping is difficult.
Mountains of shells are forming.
With the cold nights coming up, I looked for possible headgear.
The choices are:
— a couple of “newsboy” caps from Italy. Is that strange?
— a Che/Castro red-star cap from Cuba
— my warmest full-size Gap cap is missing. Still looking.
One of them will warm my heart the most, but all will do.
Some things have been hard to find since all the shit started, like generics and store brands, for example.
These non-dairy nogs have been scarce. I like them much better than the traditional concoctions. Both of these are good. These two just recently turned up in Target. I’d been watching the bare shelves since late November and was thinking I wouldn’t see any for yet another year.
They are good straight up or splashed in coffee. Strangely, I don’t like rum in nogs.
TFW I go out to eat with a group, then later a few sweetly send friend requests on FB even though I didn’t mention having an account there.
I browse their timelines first and it’s 17 hours a day of compulsive posting about how all the bad started in 2016 with DT.
I’m not a Repub, but I don’t need that shit.
Later, “I sent you a friend request. Didn’t you get it?”
Me: “I don’t get on much. I’ll look again.” 🤣
They’re just looking for a damned audience. 🙄
