A Christmas Post: Christmas Story: A Christmas Tree by Charles Dickens

A Christmas Post: Christmas Story: A Christmas Tree by Charles Dickens: From Denny:  Check out a Christmas story written by Charles Dickens over a century ago.  Here, in this story, the author gives us a glimpse of the age of early technology of mechanical toys and the increasing consumerism at Christmas.

Dickens recalls his own childhood Christmas time.  This memoir is an intriguing romp through the mind of a child as he perceives the Christmas magic and contemplates the holiday season.  He likes to relate a ghost story along the way too!

Turkey Cooking Tips: How Good Is Your Holiday Roast Turkey?

President Obama, daughters, pardoning Popcorn from becoming
White House Thanksgiving dinner.  Caramel pardoned too.
He's a nice man. Two 40-pound turkeys get retirement.

Update follows post.
Update: 2013 White House
Gingerbread House video.
From Denny:  Roasted my Thanksgiving turkey a day early.  Sure beats stressing on the Big Day.  Also, my husband, affectionately known as "Satan" misses out on trying to micro-manage the cooking, driving me absolutely crazy.

"Satan" never did learn to cook but thinks he knows how to tell you all about how to do it anyway.  Getting the Big Bird done a day early is a win-win for everyone as he was less stressed just as much as me!

Though he did try only twice this season to be ever so irritating:  once, when taste testing the fabulous gravy he made The Yuck! Face but could not keep his composure for long, laughed, and then raved about it as one of the best yet.  Later he decided he just had to tell me how to cut the French bread for sandwiches his way rather than the normal slices I was doing for hot garlic bread, his favorite.  Since I'm basically The Spatial Engineer in this house (just ask me to pack a car for travel and I am The Expert on finding every nook and cranny to fill) I explained to him how his way made no sense but cut a few slices for him anyway.  He was so disappointed to realize I was right after all.  "Satan" lost that round.  Never a dull moment at our house, that's for sure!

Hey, we should all be challenging the White House chef to a Roast Turkey Cook Off.  Bet mine is one of  The Best!  We love spices at our house and every year I create something different.  This year's wet rub spices were swimming in clarified butter:  sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smokey paprika, cumin, curry powder, marjoram leaves, lite sodium soy sauce, Moscato wine and Remy Martin cognac...

From Denny:  Oh, how I have missed the Russians on the world stage.  Affectionately deemed as Denny's Fightin' Yard Cats, the Russians never fail to throw paws (at America), amuse by pinning some unlucky misbehavin' ears to the ground in a show of dominance (to Syria) or provoke reasonable people to deeper thought on international issues (yes, the World).

At least the Russians "get it" about discussing world issues in depth and detail as opposed to my American government - and their lazy think tanks.  Those think tank guys spend more time dreaming up catchy political slogans, tweeting arguments on social media, yessing each other in an echo chamber and talking like they skim the news headlines rather than invest in solving serious world problems.  Come to think of it, much of that sounds a lot like the Russian Yes Government in relation to how they behave with Putin...

Apple Cobbler Cinnamon Roll Style

From Denny:  This is an interesting twist to the old-fashioned apple cobbler.  The dough is rolled out into a rectangle like for a jelly roll sheet cake, then the apple-cinnamon filling is spread on top.  You roll up the rectangle lengthwise and then slice into rounds.  After placing the slices into the baking dish - they look like spirals - a sugar syrup is poured over the entire pan.

This recipe is based off of the idea of how to make a Swedish tea ring.  The beauty of it is that you don't work with yeast dough or have to wait for it to rise before baking!

The sugar syrup is absorbed by the dough while baking.  Fair warning: this is a sweet dish! :)  It's definitely eye candy to match the sweet taste and would make a special dish for a holiday brunch or breakfast for the Christmas season or just when family and friends visit. For the holidays you could be really decadent and offer up a small dollop of some fresh whipped cream to top it at the table or on the side for individual servings...

Caramel Frosted Apple Sheet Cake

From Denny:  You know me; I just have to rummage through a favorite product's recipe database to root out some interesting items to share.  Journalists like to research.  Martha White flour is a favorite at our house, more so than Gold Medal (which we also buy) when it comes to making tasty breakfast items like biscuits and scones.  Though Martha White really could use some help in the naming of their recipes so they made more sense to a reader and a search engine.  (The original name is below with the recipe.)

No, I don't represent Martha White or any of these companies.  Oh, that they would pay me! :)  But no, all my 24 blogs are done for the love of sharing and the love of writing as I can squeeze in the time.  Google AdSense ads are the only piddly income.  It pays for snail mail stamps and keeps me in copy paper...

Bavarian Apple Torte in 3 Layers

From Denny:  Autumn apples are arriving soon and here is the perfect recipe to try out for the season. The only step that takes time is slicing fresh apples quite thin.  This recipe is faster with the use of the apple cinnamon flavored muffin mix from Martha White.

Their flour is the absolute best for baked goods and is a favorite here in the South.  Just in case you are not living in the South or not familiar with this brand I've linked the muffin mix from their site.  Their prices are quite reasonable online or in the store.

From Denny:  Want to learn how to make a simple Southern summer favorite that is a comfort food classic?  This simple pie is a breeze and is always best with freshly squeezed lemon juice.  Summer is the time when lemons are plentiful and affordable so buy a whole bag and make several pies!

A Truth Journal: Colbert, Daily Show Videos: Naughty Government, Funny NSA Leaker Jokes

A Truth Journal: Colbert, Daily Show Videos: Naughty Government, Funny NSA Leaker Jokes: From Denny:  When NSA Leaker Edward Snowden poked the hornets' nest of the intelligence community (IC), the military, private contractors, the government and the Justice Department they geared up into a defensive posture like never before this week.

Their collective backlash was the usual heavy-handedness of the 800 pound gorilla, heaped upon one individual they figure is an easy win, which only made the government look worse to the casual observer, especially the enthusiastic voting demographic under the age of 30.

Clearly, the government agencies are laying out the case to the court of public opinion, hoping to turn the public against Snowden so they have an excuse to either give him the death penalty or send out another wave of assassins. It's a shameful attitude and excessive behavior.

Warriors Pearl Foundation: New Denny Lyon Design: Phone Cases, Handbags, T-Shirts, More: Fun Magic Coffee Fonts: From Denny:  Since I'm past due on posting about all my new designs the past year for Denny Lyon Gifts to benefit charities helping homeless female military veterans who were victims of sexual assaults I might as well get started today.

This was a fun design to create after drinking too much coffee one morning. :) We do so enjoy that awesome aroma every morning wafting out of the kitchen to rocket us out of bed to begin our day.  So, I just had to place it on an unexpected product choice:  handbags and wallets!

To "gild the lily" there were two more coordinating patterns if you want to experience some creative fun to mix and match.  The nautical theme is popular in fashion now as the 60's retro is back on the scene.  Of course, with my usual, sometimes off kilter art mind, I thought how cool is it to think of "navigating" our way to the welcoming waters of our morning coffee as a major achievement?...

A Truth Journal: XL Keystone Pipeline: Why Should America Take All The Risks and No Benefits?

XL Pipeline Protest (Photo credit: Talk Radio News Service)

A Truth Journal: XL Keystone Pipeline: Why Should America Take All The Risks and No Benefits?: From Denny:  Once again greedy Big Business seeks to hang the American taxpayers with all the liabilities - while they make billions in profits, free to walk away when it goes bad.

The XL Keystone Pipeline is a huge boondoggle that comes out of Canada.  Apparently, the Canadian firm, TransCanada, along with some American energy partners sum up their business mantra in one chant, "Let the Americans pay for it!"

Our State Department has been on a fool's errand writing up a study on the impact on America's environment, concluding it would not be a problem, in order to act like they are satisfying the environment folks.  As usual, everyone rivets their focus upon the distraction, taking their eye off the obvious.
