So true Cilla.
So much effort for so little. May next time be better, Allen. Mawra, I'll keep your nephew in my thoughts along with your family. It is hard to watch someone you love suffer. I missed the lunar eclipse... I was busy with school work. May everyone have a blessed week.

I just ate my first ever "mini" Moon Pie. I wish I had those 110 calories back! Cheap chocolate, 2 circles of tasteless "yellow" cake with a thin smear of what was supposed to be marshmallow in the middle. I got the thing at a baby shower where the theme was "Over The Moon." I'd never buy one of those. If I'm gonna have calories I want something edible!

Oh yes! If you're going to indulge in sheer wickedness you might as well do it in style. Were these moon pies home made? I hope not.
I bought some cake based on a favourite I used to make and was most disappointed. Should have had a crunchy nutty base with a decadent caramel middle and nutty chocolate crumbly topping. It was tasteless and dull; ![]() ![]()

Ooh no, this thing was definitely store bought. I rarely bake any more either as we don't have any self control where tasty baked goods are concerned.

In that sense, I love Trader Joes because you can find tons of tasty treats well worth the calories. Next time you indulge, Cilla, may it be worth it.

Okay, you want something for decadent self-indulgence?
https://www.facebook.com/tiphero/vid...1/?pnref=story I hope this works for everyone. It's something I found on Facebook. For anyone not in the US of A that doesn't know what S'mores are, traditionally you take a Graham cracker, put a piece of chocolate on top, toast a marshmallow, slap it on the choccy while hot and gooey, and smoosh another Graham on that. So this isn't traditional, in that they are also using Reese's peanut butter chips as well as chocolate chips. But to each, his own

I think I'll stick with the handmade chocolates at a local chocolate shop or maybe some Lindt Truffles. As one person at that site commented "it made their teeth hurt" looking at that! I haven't toasted a marshmallow in decades! I bet this is heaven for anyone with a sweet tooth!

For a proper smor you have to toast the marshmallow over a bonfire.

Oh, my wife and I see all sorts of recipes on Facebook. I'd flood the thread if I posted all the various goodies we find.
Maybe I'll start a recipe thread........

So - packing to shift. Boxes and rubbish everywhere. Then a treasure will turn up. Yesterday it was a children's book that may have come out to New Zealand on a sailing ship with my ancestors in 1862. It has a story of the first Police Dog in it, which I'm going to use in the book I'm writing about the event. I did wonder what the children might have been doing cramped onto a small sailing ship for three months. Given what those children did later (first woman MA in British Empire) it figures reading books would figure in their daily life.

Went LARPing last night. My character stayed at the bar, mostly, drinking buckets of White Russian. My character is half dragon half cat who is stuck in cat form, a firey red cat the size of a cougar, but long and lean.
Hubby is starting to get into it, it is nice to have something all three of us enjoy doing together.

Shameless self promotion here. I'm doing laser engraving now, in case I didn't mention it before. Here's some examples:
![]() A small plaque that I made to sell at craft shows. ![]() Found this design online and now it's for sale too. ![]() This was a custom piece, 4 individual patterns made, laid out, and burnt one at a time. She's my wife's "adopted" granddaughter. Wife wasn't aware of what I was making even though she was in the room almost the whole time I was making it. She cried when I gave it to her.

Thank you. That bottom one measures 12 X 12 inches. It's a "wood canvas" from the craft section of Walmart. But I took the original pictures, ran them through Photoshop 6, and built the .nc programs that the computer runs the engravers with.
That program is also the extension that CNC milling machines use. I never did one before I got my first engraver.

Maw, I seem to remember Kibby always wanting a fairy wolf drawing. I might have something for you/her. I'm doing a test burn right now.

I need to try my smaller laser. It needs to have lighter shading without losing detail.
Of course, you're seeing it closer than you normally would IRL.

I ran a test and did a little less than half of the picture. I was right. Anyone want a copy of that fairy wolf, only better?

Lovely dragon on a neat background that hard for me to see too many shades of brown. :--O Which is starting to make hard to tell at times the smaller signs, mugs, and more :--O

I've improved the pattern, too. I'll put it on a plaque for her (or for you to give to her for Christmas or some other special day) for $20 + postage. If you want one, say the word & I'll burn it off & show you the product before you have to pay for it.
I leave these plaques unfinished so the new owner can stain it whatever color he wants then spray it with polyurethane. Stains & spray available at Walmart.

It being my birthday I was quite chuffed on getting home this evening to find two envelopes awaiting my attention.
One was from Alzheimer's Research & the other from Prostate Cancer UK! Must be that time of life. ![]()

Happy birthday! I hope you had cake and perhaps a card or two - unrelated to the items in your mail today. We tend to get mail from AARP (American Association of Retired People), Medicare, or "Assisted Living" facilities.
