Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Meceka]

LOL! I don't have the recipe here, but I think I can go from memory.

Cheddar Pepper Pretzels

1 lb. (20 oz) pretzel twists
1 Cup Cheddar Cheese Powder
1 Tbsp. (heaping - according to taste) Cayenne pepper
1 Cup Canola oil (I use a little less)

Preheat oven to 250º, put pretzels on jelly roll pan(s). Bake 30-45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.

I have only seen the cheddar cheese powder in Amishville, but if you search for it on the internet, it's available there, if your stores don't have it. I stick it in the freezer & it lasts a long, long time! They are so good & quite spicy. I brought some in to my "new job" yesterday & they said "whew, those have some kick" LOLOL!!

Yummy!
Don't forget to post this in the recipe thread!

Merry Friday Meceka!!!! ♥

A merry Friday, weekend, and Monday to you, my friend!! xx

Merry Friday!

It is a rainy, cool day here. Had to turn the furnace on earlier than I wanted to, but it was too damp in here for Palmer.

Yesterday I stepped outside and found four black/grey tabby kittens by the truck. My gosh are they ever cute!! Today I fed them some Kitten Chow ~ for such little guys/gals they can really eat.

Spent the day dodging rain showers while checking out a few garage sales. Found a few things for the store so I will be doing a lot of research this evening.

Be safe and merry!

Good Morning!

SINGLE DIGITS.
(Explanation below)

The numbers for this date:
Days to the Season: 46
Days to Christmas Day: 88

And yes, my Friends.
As of today, there are only 9 days remaining until the NINETY PERCENT HOME STRETCH Milestone marker to the Season.
(And we all know that is when the fast track really begins!)

A warm and humid day yesterday transitioned into an evening of rain with interspersed lightning and thunder. Severe thunderstorm warnings were up for a time but nothing significant developed.
Today should see another chance of storms before calmer conditions move in for the weekend.
It is currently 70 rather damp degrees here in our little sector of MMC.

Well, seeing as how it is Weekend Eve once again, it shouldn't be too hard for you to have a Fabulous Friday Friends, right?

Thanks Crown! Fabulous Friday Indeed!

Have fun with your mom & daughter today! Pizza sounds tasty!!
Enjoy your weekend!

Thank you so much Holiday! Wishing you a great weekend!!!

Sounds like a lot of fun!
We have a very Octobery sky, today. It is a patchwork of many shades of gray and white clouds, a shot of blue sky here and there, and brief outbursts of sunshine(mid - 50s temp).

Sounds like a nice Autumn day, I hope you’re enjoying it. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!

Happy Friday, HmG!!
Hope that you & your Mom enjoy lunch with your daughter!!
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Thank you so much Snowflake!
I hope you guys have a beautiful weekend with your cousin and her husband. Sending hugs!
xx

7 weeks ago this little angel came into our live. I cannot believe how big she is getting! I also cannot get enough of her eyes. Elizabeth has been a blessing to everyone. We are having a welcome Ellie party tomorrow for my family who could not make it to the shower and then she gets baptized on Sunday. It’s going to be a full weekend of Elizabeth. I cannot wait.

Good Saturday morning! A day off after a long work day yesterday. We're going to Williston, VT today to pick-up something I had ordered. It'll be a nice 2-hour drive. There's a store called Christmas Tree Shops near where we're going, there ought to be some Christmas merch there right? Definitely will check it out. Have a great day everyone!

 

[nmc42088]

I got to sleep in today. It was a nice treat after being up early all thus week. Tonight I work 2 to 10 at the store I've been helping, so Mike will be taking me out to lunch before I go in. Tomorrow am I go back to my store and work until 3. Mike has mandatory overtime Sunday so I won't get to see him tomorrow. I'll probably be and be to get a lot of reading done tomorrow night.
It felt like fall when I got up this am. It is 54 right now with a high of 77. I can't wait for sweater weather. Have a great day

Happy Saturday MMC! It's the last weekend of September already. The sun is shining here and we have really nice early Autumn weather expected. Hope you all enjoy your Saturday!

Have a safe trip. Christmas Tree Shop has a variety of decor, food, furniture and more. At least the ones closest to me do

Merry Saturday MMC!
I have a pretty busy day ahead. I have to make a big food shopping trip, I’m going to head out in a few minutes to get it over with. I’m picking up my oldest later this morning, she has a trial hair and makeup appointment for the wedding and she wants me to go with her. I also have to go shoppping for a gift for my father in law, we’re getting together with him tomorrow to celebrate his birthday. I still have to figure out what I want to get him. Other than that I’ll be working on the laundry when I get the chance. And we’re going to grill steaks for dinner later tonight. I guess that’s about it. I hope everyone is well and has a nice day!

Good Morning, Almost Home Stretchers!

Oh, indeed!
More about that below.

Let's inspect today's figures, to launch the weekend:
Days to the Season: 45
Days to Christmas Day: 87

(And speaking of launching, something else launched yesterday afternoon that I know you'll want to check out. Look for it. It's not hard to find!)

OK.
Yes.
The Season Home Stretch beginning. We are nearly there. Just EIGHT days to go. ONE WEEK from tomorrow! NINETY PERCENT!
Just think about that, now.
(You do that before you dot another "i".)

Still damp and humid yesterday but no further rain came our way.
Today should be clear and a bit more comfortable as some of the humidity is supposed to take a temporary vacation elsewhere.
We begin the weekend sunny, at 67 degrees here in North Carolina's capital county.

Have a really great weekend, and I hope it commences for you with a Sensational Saturday, Folks!
