It’s Christmas time. A time of good cheer, merriment and warm fuzzy feelings. I do not forget the reason for the season. The birth of my Savior. But I also am inclined to enjoy the warmth of all that the season offers. Friends, family, food, frivolity and--decorating.

Now that the big November day has passed and we are into left overs about a week, let’s talk turkey. Sandwiches, cold turkey sandwiches. If you are above a certain age, you should remember Dagwood, from the comic strip Blondie. Ole Dagwood could make the biggest stuffed sandwiches imaginable.

Yes, there are those among us that never seem to worry about what size to pick up when shopping for new jeans. They usually just pic a pair of size 10 or my stars a size 0! While I in my life I grab at least a 12 and work up from there. We shall not even talk about tops.

It is clear glass, holds about a package of Hersey’s Cookie and Cream chocolate kisses and maybe a few Dark Chocolate Caramel Rolos candies. The thing that makes it so cute is that it has little glass feet on it. I added it to my menagerie of dishes and do dads that found a home with me along my life’s trail. The … [Read more...]
