Martin Luther King Jr
Loving Your Enemies
7 November 1957
…
So I want to turn your attention to this subject: “Loving Your Enemies.” It’s so basic to me because it is a part of my basic philosophical and theological orientation—the whole idea of love, the whole philosophy of love. In the fifth chapter of the gospel as recorded by Saint [...]

The Cats and the Tree
“What? Me? I wouldn’t attack the Christmas tree! No way!”
“Pay no mind to the furry gift under the tree.”

Back to the Grind
And we’re back to work.
It was an exciting vacation. I baked–a lot. And I branched out from cookies and made breads as well: challah, Italian bread, pumpkin bread, and cranberry walnut bread.
We had the family Christmas gathering which was insane and chaotic but also a lot of fun. (We made Lithuanian cookies again, which added [...]

What Could This Be?
Why it looks like a blog!
(blows dust off top of bookcase)
Looks like someone has been neglecting the place.
As the physical house is getting cleaned today, the likelihood of anything more entertaining appearing here is quite low.
But you’re more than welcome to make yourself comfortable in the interim. Plenty of cookies and legal beverages. Have [...]

Merry Christmas!
Adeste, fideles, laeti triumphantes;
Venite, venite in Bethlehem.
Natum videte Regem angelorum.
Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine,
Parturit virgo mater,
Deum verum, genitum, non factum.
Venite adoremus, venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus, Dominum.
En grege relicto, humiles ad cunas
Vocati pastores approperant:
Et nos ovanti gradu festinemus.
Venite adoremus, venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus, Dominum.
Stella duce, Magi Christum adorantes,
Aurum, thus, et myrrham dant munera.
Jesu infanti corda praebeamus.
Venite adoremus, [...]

Christmas Eve
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I [...]

Yo, Bro
I’ve joked for years that most guys I know treat me like the little sister they never wanted.
Now I have further proof.
Over a year ago, I came home to discover a surprise package. Why yes, I did in fact receive six bottles of bird vomit. How lucky am I?
So yesterday, I received yet another package [...]

Christmas Carols
New poll in the sidebar: what’s your favorite Christmas Carol.
This doesn’t include hymns, which you might sing while caroling. Of course, the last time I remember caroling, was for French club in high school. We went around my French teachers neighborhood, singing French Christmas carols, to her neighbors. Then we went back to her house [...]

Saturday I cut out sugar cookies and baked them. They still need iced, but that’s for another day.

My Feet Hurt
Spent the weekend making Christmas cookies (most of which are frozen/refrigerated in dough form).
Any requests before I finish up next weekend?

Christmas Songs
New poll today – best Christmas song. This does not include hymns or carols, but rather the songs you hear on the radio.
But I’ll take comments for hymns and carols.

Holiday Baking: Bourbon Balls
Michael made bourbon balls this weekend (I helped). The thing about bourbon balls is you need to make them ahead of time and let them sit. We usually make them around Thanksgiving, but that didn’t work out this year.
Bourbon Balls
1 box Vanilla wafers
1 cup confectioners sugar
1 cup chopped nuts
3 tbsp corn syrup
1/2 cup bourbon
3 tbsp [...]

It IS Black Friday
New poll over on the sidebar: Worst Christmas Song Ever.
These are the songs that make me want to smash the radio and throttle the singer.
You get to choose from my least favorites. If you want, you can add your hated songs here in the comments, and I’ll make another poll later.
Caveat 1: We’re talking songs, [...]
