Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 6:30 a.m. in "The City."

The current temperature is 29° under cloudy-skies. Today's high is forecast to reach 38° under skies that will be cloudy until around 12:00 p.m. and then sunny thereafter. There are no watches, advisories, nor warnings in effect at this time.

The sun will rise today @ 8:12 a.m. and set later @ 5:12 p.m.

A pretty mundane blog so far, isn't it?
 
Yesterday was filled with activity. Mary got up early to get her Prevnar13 inoculation against pneumonia. Other than a bit of redness, she seems to be doing fine. The fur-children and I got up late, I fed them and let them out. By then, Mary had returned and we ate lunch, which was Mary's version of vegan BLTs, sans the "T". That was after she made vegan Tofu bacon.

With lunch done, and with Ginger's assistance, I took time to make Christmas cookies, ostensibly for my Irish Jam Session on Saturday, and finished the remainder of the indoor chores. Actually, I put things into the washer and dryer, and helped fold them.

My cookies turned out great after I followed another of those old family recipes that I am fond of using. I just don't know whose old family the recipe came from, as I got it off of the internet and modified it to suit my available ingredients and baking utensils. I did use my newly acquired cookie-cutters to make the various shapes and so I guess that this is now "our" old family recipe.

Later, we went out to get some things from the Dollar Store™ and make a stop at Stan's.

Today, I hope to get to make that vegan chocolate fudge I had planned to make yesterday. If it turns out as I hope, then another old family recipe will be a success. If not, I blame that other old family. My grandmother, Nane, used to make white fudge, but I don't have her old family recipe, so I have never been able to replicate her efforts. That's probably a good thing.

Otherwise, not much is planned for what should be a slow day at the manse. Ciao.
