I Love Lucy Christmas Special followed by an hour of Dick Van Dyke! And I love crab dip too! Don't forget some scallions.

Pam: That is correct! You may as well not make the hot crab dip if you're not using Maryland jumbo lump crab meat. Old Bay---they put that stuff on EVERYTHING! Cardboard---that's funny.

LLama you are so right about Md crab meat. We Marylanders KNOW that any other crab meat is inferior! And god bless Old Bay!! Your recipe sounds like mine, but I often bake it, with some mild cheese on top. Not too many extras,,we love to taste the crab. I swear I could eat it on cardboard and I'd still love it!!

The Grinch Who Stole Christmas....

The nerve of those Whos!
Inviting me down there, on such short notice!
Even if I wanted to go my SCHEDULE Wouldn't allow it!
One o'clock, Wallow in self pity
Four thirty, Stare into the abyss
Five o'clock, Solve world hunger; Tell no one
Five thirty, Jazz-ercise
Six thirty, dinner with me. I can't cancel that again!
Seven o'clock, wrestle with my self-loathing...
I'm booked!
Well if I bump the loathing up to nine I could still be done in time to lay in bed and stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness...
But what would I wear!!

Schedule look a little familiar to caregivers everywhere?

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play, 
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men. 

I thought how, as the day had come, 
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along th'unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men. 

And in despair I bowed my head: 
'There is no peace on earth, ' I said 
'For hate is strong, and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.' 

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: 
'God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; 
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, 
With peace on earth, good will to men.'

Till, ringing, singing on its way, 
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, 
Of peace on earth, good will to men. 

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Frazzled: It is! And if you live in Maryland, it's best to get MARYLAND crab meat. A double batch fits well to the top of a small crock pot.

Saltines dipped in chocolate half way.
Hot crab dip - one lb. Jumbo lump crabmeat, little milk, 2 blocks 8 oz. cream cheese, a little Old Bay spice in small crock pot - can be doubled - delicious!

Mmmmm....Trader's holiday goodies. And I love Ferraro Rochers too much to ever be offended by their marketing!!

"Mr Ambassador you are spoiling us..."

Ferrero Rocher make me sad. Through work, I got to know the company a bit. The quality control is outstandingly good and the products' ingredients are first rate.

What's sad is that their marketing and merchandising have been so crashingly terrible that their products have become exactly what you do not give to your friends unless either you are being wittily ironic or you do in fact intend to offend them.

Another thing that sounds good right now is some Ferrero Rocher chocolates. Yum!

Everything is good from my favorite T.Joes.

Even better was STROOPWAFEL
A thin Dutch Caramel Waffle Cookie.

I collect the tins of various cookies. Not a collector type person, but I love the Swedish, Dutch, Norwegian patterns.

Cookies are ALL GONE.

Currently, for this time of year, Platatonix. For the past 2 days, I've been binge watching YouTube videos of vocal and/or singing instructors, etc... initial discovery of Platatonix and their 'Reaction' to them. I try to stick to watching the professionals in the music industry for their 'critique'.

The MaProductions is my favorite so far. They're now a Platonix fan since last year. I laugh and cry over their reactions to each song. I google their name, hit the filter to chronological the upload dates and then watch from the beginning to the current. Fascinating and a very learning experience.
