"Me time"
Everyone says I need to have some of this.
No one really knows how I can get it.
It is elusive and must be stolen?
Hm.

Holiday FOODS: Buckeyes and Foolproof Fudge
What are your favorite Christmas foods?
Two must-have desserts for our family are:
Buckeyes
1 lb. butter (2 cups)
2 lbs. peanut butter (4 cups)
1 tsp. vanilla
12 cups powdered sugar
2 large bags (12 oz. ea.) melt and mold chocolates
Cream butter and peanut butter. Add vanilla and 4 cups powdered sugar. Divide into 2 parts. Add 4 cups powdered sugar to each part. Shape into balls. Put a toothpick in the center and freeze for 15 minutes to all night.
Melt the melt and mold chocolates in the microwave on low heat, stirring often. Dip frozen balls in this and place on wax paper to set.
Bonnie’s Foolproof Chocolate Fudge
(makes about 1-3/4 pounds)
3 (6-ounce) packages semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 (14-ounce can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk (NOT evaporated)
Dash salt
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 c. chopped nuts (optional)
In heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt morsels with sweetened condensed milk.
Remove from heat; stir in remaining ingredients. Spread evenly into wax
paper-lined 8-inch square pan. Chill 2 hours or until set. Turn fudge onto cu
tting board; peel off paper and cut into squares. Cover and store at room
temperature.
Peanut Butter (I've never made this variation; since we always have buckeyes, this would probably be peanut butter overkill in addition to those.):
Omit chocolate morsels, vanilla and nuts. In heavy saucepan, melt 1
(12-ounce) package peanut butter flavored chips. Remove from heat; stir in
sweetened condensed milk and dash of salt. Proceed as directed.

Thanksgiving ATMOSPHERE
Do you decorate? Do you play special music?
The older girls and I made a cornucopia a couple years ago. It graces our table every year during the month of November. I enjoy it.
As far as music, if you're at our house on or around Thanksgiving, you can expect to hear this song at some point:
I've been a George Winston fan for a long time, but I didn't know about his December album until I was in college, I think. I love it. The first track is the above song. Unfortunately, that is the only Thanksgiving-specific song I know of. Do you know of any?
