my other Cellar Christmas booty! Thanks Dana, Sundae and Ali! I made rum balls myself this year and we ate them all (there were hundred!) before I could photo them, but they turned out just like yours, Ali!

It's not really Christmas til the cock comes out.

[Gravdigr]

These are the ones that I liked.

A clock in a wheel/tire, and the Nook HD+:



A better pic of the clock:

What dust?

What crack-in-the-wall?

One of the radio stations in Nashville years ago had an on-air character named Black Elvis (who was a black, Elvis-impersonator). The dj asked him "Black Elvis, what did you give Black Priscilla for Christmas?" To which Black Elvis replied (in a very deep, very stereotypically 'black' voice) "What'd I give her? I give her root. That's what I give her."

I'll remember that forever, I almost drove off the road laughing.

Root = cock, FYI

This Christmas I received a wonderful box of home-made comestibles from Aliantha.
When Mum went to Australia, she discovered dark chocolate covered dates, and adored them. I asked Ali whether she could track some down and send them to me - to be reimbursed of course.

Instead, Ali made some.
And sent them with rum-balls, Christmas tree biscuits, two types of cookies (I think) and I might even be missing something off.

The cookies went pretty much as soon as the gift box was opened.
I seem to remember one kind being very much chocolate based, but the ones I had were minty.
I didn't even get a sniff after that, as Mum and Dad hoovered them up.
Not literally.

Mum was very impressed by the dates, she still suspects you bought them because they looked so professional.
Not so much the rum balls; she took against the coconut. But made me laugh when she reported back to me about sitting there late at night trying to ease the coconut off the outside, only to find it ran all the way through. The idea of her hunched over when the rest of the house was sleeping, scraping off the coating, is either really funny or really sad.

I'm going with funny.
Anyway her loss is our gain; Limey and I scoffed the lot. Very quickly. They were ever so good - really rummy.
The dates lasted slightly longer, as did the biscuits. But only by a matter of hours.
The air on Arran seemed to make them dissolve. Or at least that's the official story.

Om nom nom nom.
Nom nom nom.
Nom nom.
Nom.

Thanks hon.

Glad it all went over well. I really did make the dates. Well, bought them naked then choc coated them. It was easy.

I think there was some chocolate fudge in there too.

[Sundae]

Darling if there was chocolate fudge, it was gommed down with the rest of the gorgeous sweeties.

I held back because it's not really my bag (except those minty cookies - shockingly good) but when I got to Arran I think the air got to me. It turns out I have two hands for a reason, and you provided enough for more than two hands.

People who enjoyed Aliantha's Christmas box:
Cherry
Cherry's Mum
Cherry's Dad
Dani
Limey
Mr Limey

Hearts and minds and stomachs touched, and thankee for it (sai)
In fact it's better you didn't get the PM, as it was only about me & Mum.
Now you know how many people more nommed down on your treats

[Aliantha]

Actually, you were lucky to get an of the cookies. I made five trays of them, and one of our regular extras took a liking to them. lol. They are just my usual recipe, but with tiny pepermint candy canes in the dough for a christmas theme.

Glad i brought a few smiles about.

Tree Fae got me a single cup Keurig brewer for my office, to spare me of the trauma of having to walk upstairs to our office kitchen to get coffee. It is tres decadent.

My late father in law was a very, very serious collector of militariana, as well as autographs. From his collection, my mother in law gifted me a beautifully framed original artwork of General Chuck Yeager that included his signature on a matted card, and a Life Magazine cover featuring General James Stewart, autographed by him to Dale, my father in law. Pretty damn special.

Lucky you, Elspode!!
