I recorded it off of HBO several years ago...

As far as I've seen in recipes, candied cherries are used in fruitcake, not Maraschino. But I'm sure some baker out there marches to a different drummer.

Some years I make a Southern version of fruitcake with brandy, but omit the traditional citron. Mine has tons of pecans with raisins, dried dates plus candied pineapple & cherries (red & green). Last year I made a cookie version that was a big hit with the family. Think the English versions ...

Expect another warning soon to not eat such mushrooms to go along with the Don't Lick the Frogs one.

The Russia House is a wonderful film with arguably the best performances of Sean Connery and Michelle Pfeiffer, and a very fine one from James Fox to go hand in hand with a strong Tom Stoppard script. And it has a great soundtrack. I've played this movie many, many times just a background when I'm ...

Until yesterday, I hadn't posted since February 14th. I enjoy posts from Diane. I think of her when the Consumer Cellular "Butt Dial" ad comes on with the person on a tractor. You weren't the only one away from SSO then. Think I skipped my daily visits here from mid-Jan until just a few d...

I'm curious as to why some presumably sensitive creatures don't want their names shown. But I think many of us allow our names to be shown, e.g. Swithin, Hibi, KayFrancis, Kingrat, Holden, etc. Good chance that the hidden one is me. Only reason I use the hide is 'cause I leave my SSO page up 24/7 a...

And Happy Birthday to Lorna & LawrenceA. I'm just not keeping up apparently.

Sorry I missed it, but hope you enjoyed the day.

🎄 Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays! 🎄 Our Christmas is: January 7 but I understand that December 25 is a popular date for it also. My dad's family was Russian Orthodox, so got to do 2 Christmases each year as a child. 😁 --------------- Hope whatever you're doing makes you happy this season. 😊 🤶

Christmas in Connecticut (1945) flapjack flipping and the Irish stew vs Goulash debate.

Thanks for posting that, Lorna. Agree that Harris is not a singer, but was better than I expected in this.

Oh, I think you summed it up pretty well. We're pretty much hermits here, just going out for groceries and for building supplies at HD/Lowes.

The 70's Gene Wilder movie is a fave of the Tiki household. ... (the little guy in the picture is a neighbor) A neighbor! Neat. Wonder what he thinks of this. The orig story is just ok to me, but as long as Pure Imagination is in the score, I'm all for it - although I won't go to a theater where I'...

I think it looks like it might be a cute holiday movie. Maybe you're just not old enough yet, Tiki.
