Looking foward to sharing a beautiful New Year with you :) <BR/><BR/>Christmas joy, Michael! Thank you for sharing as my thoughts are also with you and your loved ones. You have been huge inspiration to me. Thank you. I'll be looking forward to seeing life through your creative eye in this, hopefully, beautiful New Year. <BR/><BR/>I can imagine that you would choose an unknown project, Kim, since nothing seems too huge for you to tackle :0) A great joy knowing you, dear friend.

That's lovely. :)<BR/><BR/>This recipe reminded me that I made a traditional yule log cake when I was in junior high, because we had to bring in some kind of traditional food from another country--and I'm too much of an overachiever to do something easy, of course. My Mom helped me, and it was a beautiful cake... I remember using a fork to make the frosting look like bark. Very fun!<BR/><BR/>Happy Holidays to you and yours, Joey! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-81901420704922024772008-12-24T09:21:00.000-05:002008-12-24T09:21:00.000-05:00Joey, ... my wife will be trying some of these rec...Joey, ... my wife will be trying some of these recipes of yours soon.<BR/>There goes the kitchen! :)<BR/><BR/>Hope you and the family have a wonderful Christmas, ... and a Happy New Year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-87490664134454176792008-12-24T05:48:00.000-05:002008-12-24T05:48:00.000-05:00Have a lovely holiday Joey.(By the Way - Yes it wa...Have a lovely holiday Joey.<BR/>(By the Way - Yes it was your cute Santa peeking in my post!)<BR/>Blessing for the festive season my friend<BR/>KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-74784531654669563082008-12-23T22:21:00.000-05:002008-12-23T22:21:00.000-05:00Dear Amy ~ stratch your itch and enjoy 'your nest'...Dear Amy ~ stratch your itch and enjoy 'your nest' ... before you know it, you'll be back in the kitchen (I'm cookin' a big batch of tortellini soup as I write, a family Christmas Eve must). Get well soon, dear friend!<BR/><BR/>Thank you, dear Cameron ~ don't fret ... the rolling is so easy. I do pumpkin rolls for Thanksgiving and Lemon and Strawberry rolls in spring. This is one dessert that for such little work looks and tastes divine! Enjoy the remains of this beautiful season. It's been great fun getting to know you.<BR/><BR/>Well now, Frances, though a lovely dessert and mighty tasty, it's hard to beat the beauty of your natural Yule log ;) Christmas Blessings!joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09569378877717221045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-33232379500845106072008-12-23T19:13:00.000-05:002008-12-23T19:13:00.000-05:00Hi Joey, the quote was wonderful, the santa jovial...Hi Joey, the quote was wonderful, the santa jovial and the recipe sounds delicious.

I'm in love with him also ~ a handmade ornament/wedding gift for my first Christmas tree (from my beloved cousin/art teacher that I adored as a child).<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas, Jan, and thank you.
