I had a whole section about civic pride.

Sounds about right. Her's were A, S, O and 8s. From a star shaped extruder.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Congrats on your new kitten, Burrell. I suggest you name it Inconvenient Delight.
Hee. Franny started with Luna, then Lilac, now she's at Moon. I sense a theme.
I've posted pics in a couple places online, so we will see. I need to take her to the vet and find out if she's been microchipped.
PS DH is NOT delighted. I think our other cat Folly will be on Cody's side.
Burrell, that cat is adorbs!
She really is. And she's very sweet.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thanks, all! I'm off to bed now (in the bedroom overlooking MY pine trees, muahaha).
Suddenly I'm more interested in finishing the two rooms that still haven't been painted. Hm.

Oh yeah, my mom always made those at Christmas! I just remembered. She called the device a "cookie press."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
She called them spritzles but I think she made that up.
If she made it up, so did all my elderly german ladies.

Swedish variation on it, I guess. But hers were definitely coconut. Which strikes me odd.

Why is coconut odd?
I do notice that the Brits seem to (noticeably in the baking show, but I've seen others) all about passion fruit, which is something I feel you never see in the US.

Immigrant swedes and coconut in midcentury? My grandma was not normally adventurous with food. She boiled veggies to death. And lutefisk.
