It’s exhausting being a Saint.

Brooklyn is getting up there in years and sometimes during the day goes through a “pet me damnit until your hand bleeds” stage.  It’s exhausting trying to entertain her when she’s awake… which is all of about 5 hours a day in total between naps.

Here she’s zonked out after being petted for like an hour.  We’re at the point now where we place an object on her to simulate the weight of our hand so we can get up and walk away quietly.  Sometimes it’s a stuffed animal, sometimes a small pillow… this time a fireplace glove. :)

 

 

My gift to you: Christmas Tequila Cookies

Christmas Tequila Cookies

1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup (two sticks) butter
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 cups dried fruit (dried cranberries or raisins)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans
2 cups all purpose flour
1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila (silver or gold, as desired)

First, sample the Cuervo to check quality.
Take a large bowl.
Check the Cuervo to be sure it is of the highest quality.
Pour another 4 ounces in a measuring cup and drink.
Turn on the electric mixer.
Beat one cup of the butter in a large fluffy bowl.
Add one teaspoon sugar. Beat again.

At this point, it is best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK.
Try another 4 ounces, just in case.
Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break two leggs and add to the bowl and
chuck in the cup of dried fruit, picking the frigging fruit off the
floor.
Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers,
just pry it loose with a screwdriver.

Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity.
Next, sift 2 cups of salt or something.
Check the Jose Cuervo.
Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts.
Add one table.
Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find.
Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall
over.

Don't forget to beat off the turner.

Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the Cose Juervo and
make sure to put the stove in the dishwasher.

Now How Ridiculous Is This?

Can you believe this? This is my KMart receipt for purchasing one can of Alpo and one ink cartridge for my printer. What a waste.
