Okay, I'm sorry, sweetie. I probably don't have one damn recipe for you then! I'm a chocoholic!
I do make one that I may post. It's very pretty for the holidays, but everyone says it's very rich. I don't eat it. It's a jelly-roll cake with pineapple, coconut, and cherries, all of which I don't eat.
You're welcome! I hope you enjoy it. We always have it for the holidays. And when it's cold, we'll nuke the slice for about 15 seconds to warm it up.
I also have a Kentucky Derby pie recipe thats pretty simple and quite tasty. It has a layer of chocolate chips on the bottom that melt while it bakes! Yummy!
I was supposed to go the the home of my friends parents, but I'm not now. My daughter is though. She spent the night with my friends last night, will go with them and then babysit until about 930pm. So, for most of the day, I'll be alone with the dogs.
But I'm good with that. Just looking forward to seeing my daughter tonight. We bought the "Twilight" book last night and are planning to start reading it together tonight. We read out loud and share books together. IT's lots of fun. My daughter is 13yo, but they're never to old to read to them. We've shared all of the Harry Potter books this way, along with Marley and Me, The Chronicles of Narnia series and many others.
Indy, that brought tears to my eyes. I truly feel that this is the case. This holiday season, we are halfway across the country from my moms grave, and I'm okay with that. She isn't there. She's here with us. We feel her presence.
This is a beautiful poem and comforted me today. Thank you.
2 years ago next Monday, I lost my mother to a massive heart attack. She lived with me and my daughter. Within an hour, I'd lost my house-mate, my best friend, and my mom.
The rest of the family went back to their normal lives within a week, but Em and I didn't have a normal anymore. We still don't. We're still struggling with it.
We've recently moved half way across the country to get away from the area we were in with mom. It is making it easier for us. I still feel her presence, we still talk to her, and we still know that she's with us always.
I know how you feel and I wish I had some words of advise. All I can say is that time does make it easier.
The best thing that I was told was by my aunt, who'd lost a son. She said that you don't learn to live with it, you learn to live around it.
Write me if you need a friend. Lots of us around here have been through this and know how you feel.
