This weekend we celebrated the chirruns birthdays. Both are this coming week, but with full time jobs in the mix, we decided to gather on the weekend and shake our boo-tays. We left boo-tay shaking to the chirruns.
But, we started the week off with good news. Our Americanan birds started laying blue eggs. At least one did, anyway. Now we have one brown egg layer and one blue egg layer. It's little things that amuse us.
And since we needed a new batch of The Outlaw's favorite cookies, we used fresh blue eggs in the mix.
Pop had a holiday gathering with the folks across the mountain, and requested a couple of Lawman's fruit cakes.
And to spread the word about Lawman's soon to be famous cherry fudge, we packed up a bag full and sent it over with the cakes. All reports are, it was a big hit. So, we needed another batch for us.
We added more cherries this time, and made smaller pieces. It's really rich and the last batch was a lot of fudge in a piece.
We bought another round of cranberries, but Cupcake has been using them in the steam pot to give "The Acre" a holiday smell, so this was a smaller batch. Lawman tossed in a couple of quarts of grape juice to round out the canner.
Cupcake made us a batch of her soon to be world famous chicken and dumplings, and we sent the leftovers home with "The Girl" because she loves it as much as we do. And we ended the week with a pizza party, a couple of naps, and fudge.
