Christmas Countdown - 2017

[SnowflakeMom]

That would have been fun to hear!

Hope you & your hubby have a great time tonight! Speaking of margarita's, (Mexican & margarita's go hand in hand, right?) my sister brought 1800 Margarita's last night to Moms. (Emma loves her margarita's) - I didn't have any, but they all said it was delicious. My sis said that's the only brand she buys anymore. Might have to look into that - I had never heard of it!
Have a great day!!

Looks like everyone had a great time at the goodbye for Emma. I will have to look into that brand. I have never heard of those either.
Have a great day Holiday!

Everyone, have a wonderful evening! I'm off to finish the brine for the turkey (just need to add salt & more water) - I think I'll run out to the lake & bring the smoker out there along with the "tree" (pine tree branch) & lights/decorations so I don't have so much to haul tomorrow.

I also want to go visit Mom & Emma. I can't believe this is Emma's last night!

We also have a neighborhood gathering - our neighbor boy gets married next weekend & all the neighbors went together on gifts, so we are going to give them to them tonight. Busy night!

See you tomorrow!

Good Thursday evening! As our vacation is winding down, we are currently at the Montreal Just for Laughs festival to watch comedian Mike Birbiglia. Going around the site, we stumbled upon a Christmas in July display, complete with Yoda in a Santa hat. Hope everyone is enjoying a nice evening.

TGIF MMC! Another weekend is about to arrive here and somehow the last one of July. I think this year July reminded me how much I really like this month. 4th of July was great and it's been fun having days off and all the summer stuff. This week hasn't been that bad either with the temperatures. Humidity has come up though today but now some rain tonight into maybe Saturday morning. Hopefully it will clear out quick Saturday morning as it sounds like the rain will stay mostly south of us. Who's ready for the weekend? Have a good Friday!

Guess it's not too late to say Merry Christmas in July! Cannot BELIEVE July is just about GONE. Seems like 4th of July was a few days ago! We are going to have rain and temps in the 60's through Sunday so it seems like a good time to light a Christmas candle and put on a Christmas movie to close out July.

First sign of the season .. Garden ridge is now stocking shelves with holiday offerings. ... ( vets. I am home and doing fine...). Yabba!

 

[HomemakinGirl]

Good morning MMC ~
Just popping in to wish everyone a wonderful day and a great weekend ahead <3

 

[Binger]

Major storm hitting here. ... Not Yabba!

 

[NcGunny]

That's awesome!



Sounds like we're using about the same recipe:

Maple Turkey Brine Recipe: 1 gallons water, 1 cup of kosher salt (coarse), 12 oz of real maple syrup, 2 TBS of Rub

After brined...

1. Pour the maple syrup all over the turkey.
2. Sprinkle rub all over the turkey

I'm excited to try this!!

Its not really rocket science..lol. I add peeled apple wedges,pear and onion to my water tray in the smoker. Their are tons of rubs out on the market but I stick with my favorite 3 that come out of Lousiana.

Good Morning, Everyone throughout the great MMC Nation and all of its Territories.

And the area we are preparing to enter is DOUBLE-DIGIT territory!
<< What does that mean, Crown? >>
I'll tell you in a minute, little voice.

First, we need to look at this morning's numbers:
Days to the Season: 108
Days to Christmas Day: 150

And those figures inform the discerning that we are down now to just 8 days to the 100-DAY SEASON Milestone and the threshold of DOUBLE DIGIT count territory to Christmas Season 2017.
<< Ah! I see now, Crown. Thanks! >>
My pleasure.


It wasn't excessively bad here yesterday but we still have both temperature and humidity readings that are too high to find very much comfort in.
Today should be more of the same, with possible rain over the weekend.
Currently, our thermometer tells me it is 79 degrees outside and my skin tells me it is still rather humid!


Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends.
Enjoy your Weekend Eve!
