4/5 Will have to bring more snow (no time to bake)... IKEA snowmen!

Ditto! I thought about claiming "1/2" but had a gut feeling our lovely Clanstarling would shoot me down for not followihg the rules (seems all our politicians get to do this! grrrrrrr)... but hey, if you do it and I do it, we'll have a whole 1 to share! LOL

2/5 * Hope everyone at the after-party enjoys having a snowball fight (or we can make snowpeople, snowangels if you prefer) as I'm bringing several cm (feet!) of the stuff. I love to share ;-)

3/5 Ginger cookies, anyone? Crunchy on the outside; chewy on the inside!

2/5 Took me forever to get here... site maintenance perhaps?

2/5 and 1* (W/Th) This week I'm bringing freshly baked banana muffins as soon as they come out of the oven ;-)

Agree with previous posters about Ken's pronunciation of crayons. Tonight, he said "houses" as if it is a true plural of house... yes, I know it's plural - but we pronounce it differently: more like howses. English is such a weird language at times. Mr Bliss said, 'well, at least it isn't "hice". (think louse or mouse)

3/5 + * Anyone here enjoy homemade eggnog? (I use the Best of Bridge recipe) It's excellent with dark chocolate as a chaser!

2/5 Snowed in!

@Browncoat Enjoy your trip! I spent a few weeks in NZ several years ago (youngest daughter did her masters there) and it was a trip of a lifetime... I'm lucky to have had a few!) Here I go again with the looks-like comment: does anyone else keep waiting for the current champ to sound like Oliver Platt when he speaks? There's a resemblance imo, especially around the mouth. I watch Chicago Med sometimes, mostly for Oliver. Ok, and some of the hot young doctors too ;-) Wishing all my US friends a happy Thanksgiving. xo from Canada

3/5 and one * Almost well, so hopefully I can start baking goodies again... soon. In the meantime, here are some cyber candy canes (we had an early Christmas party).

Stephen's "emu" face is one of the funniest things I saw all week. I wonder if he's practised that one on Evie... and what her reaction was! LOL

2/5 and 1* Since I am down with a nasty cold, I'll be sending cyber food - anything you wish!

Ditto with the stuck on Waltz... and the sad... Luckily, I flew through tango/foxtrot/jive/lindy hop and then thought of polka and I could have had a V8! Slap on the forehead moment ;-) I'm a jetpunker, so coming up with pres' names is easier now.

I've had weeks where I thought, "ok... this is it... this'll be my perfect week!"... and then something happens - like obscure opera or art history (grrr)... and I flame out. Not this week! (Perhaps hump day's despair had something to do with it... the J! gods took pity on me?) 5/5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm still amazed my brain found kevlar in the dusty recesses. Hope everyone likes 5-layered-trifle ;-)
