Hi Dave,

I have my Two Fat Ladies "Obsessions" cookbook already gift-wrapped
as a holiday season present for my sister-in-law.

Don't forget where you stashed it. (G)

Oh, I won't. It's in the pile (already wrapped) with the rest of the
gifts I have grabbed over the intervl since last gifting season. It's
my usual practice to buy that sort of thing when I spot it and think
to myself "I'll bet (insert recipient) would like that". Saves
thrashing about at the last minute. Bv)=

Good idea there.

... Books are better than TV; they exercise your imagination.

True dat! Especially around election time.

That's where the mute button on the remote gets a work out. TV is
only on for a couple of hours (week days), an hour on week ends
but they sure cram a lot of political ads in that time.

Dennis has the glass teat running whenever he's in the room with ut.
And simultaneously streams a news feed (that's not Faux Newx) on his laptop. At elevated volume for each. Talk abut a babble box.

Time to tun off the hearing aids if you wear them. We trun our tv on at
5:30 during the week for news and "Jeopardy", off at 7:30. Week ends
it's only on from 6:00 to 7:00--if there's no football pre-empting the
news.

It's amazing to me that people are (and contine to be) swayed by

the DD> 30 second "spots" on TeeVee. I've always done my own research
using my DD> finely honed B.S. detector. And with an eye toward
what/who will be DD> best for my way of life and values. When I voted
this year (early) my DD> ballot had votes for both sides on it. Bv)=

We'll vote early when we get back home beause Steve will be working at
one of the local polling places. He's got to be there when it opens and can't leave until everything is tabulated and packed up. He'll probably pack a lunch and get supper delivered or vice versa.

They keep mnoving my polling place. For years it was in the back end
of the "Church of Life" building. Then they "re-aligned" which
precincts they put in the same polling place (and I think the church wanted their hall back). Then we were at the Iron Workers local for several years. Then there was a redistricting after the 2020 census I although I've not moved I'm in a new precinct which votes at the Northender's VFW hall. Same ladies and man were running things. But
when they sent me that postcard asking if I'h care to vote by mail I
leapt at it like a hungry trout going for a butterfly.

We've voted in 3 different places over the last 15 years, had to change
polling places when we moved, then they changed our place. Early voting
can be done anywhere in the county so we've gone to more out of the way
places sometimes.

I have three versions of this recipe - all different, just like DD>

politica; positions ..... here's one f them:

Title: Election Cake
Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Citrus, Booze
Yield: 16 Servings

Election Cake came to be associated with election-day
celebrations.

Makes you wonder how/why/when.

Lost in ther mists of time - probably in several different versions.

Probably so. (G)

The Rotary Club in the town I grew up in always does a pancake supper on Election Day. I recall going once, but that was when my mom was taking
college classes on Tuesday nights and Dad "treated" us for supper.

I often have to request that he "pump DOWN the volume". For some reason
it doesn't seem to bother him that he's entertaining the neighbourhood.

I always like to do the pancake and sausage breakfasts. Especially the
one put on by the Italian-American War Veterans at the KC Hall. I slip
my squeeze bottle of honey into my pocket and go pig out - not planning
on eating anything ese for the rest of the day. And I either buy a box
of the Italian sausage patties to take home with me or visit the packer
that supplies them the next day.

Sounds like a good idea. The American Legion post does a monthly pancake
and sausage breakfast as a fund raiser but their sausage comes from
Sam's. They are now serving blueberry pancakes--used to do plain, then blueberry on request, now all blueberry.
