JanRN, sounds like a lovely start to the day. I will shop on Wednesday for what we decide we want for Christmas Day. No one is coming but we can enjoy each other's company. Oh, we did order a new dishwasher for DH, so he will not have to wash all the dishes in the new year.
Seems like I will be making Mincemeat for canning since neighbor lady said she could not find the suet for it. Well, I did and its waiting for me at the local grocery chain store. (With a death in the neighbor's family, she is busy.) Wish, oh, how I wish, DGM had taught me her recipe. I keep guessing, but have not nailed it yet. It had beef, pork, suet, cherries, and gooseberries in it. Most regions added in whatever they had for their custom made mincemeat. DGM added her fresh raw chopped apples last for the pie making. She used a little Rum or Bourbon in the adult version, I think. Mincemeat translate into twice ground meat, baked as a meat pie in early history of England.
I did finally post the FM blocks, and a new Golda that I redid completely.
