Our wings are not tired.

I will have to seek out Crémas. That sounds like my jam.

Cubans, Puerto Ricans, and the other islands all seem to have some variety of the same type of thing by some name. Creamy stuff plus rum. I see them here as coquito too.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Yes Crema sounds like the Puerto Rican Coquito that I make and love.

Very low key day here yesterday. Lovely.

Happy birthday to the 26th babies.

We're departing for the airport soon and already playing the game "how late will our flight be?" Was 5:05, currently 5:20. Bad weather in Dallas, of course.

Oh, yes! I forgot to say, Happy Birthday, Jesse, and Theo, and Rayne!

Happy Boxing Day to you all, thanks for the good wishes, plus the start of Hanukkah And Kwanzaa! It's a holiday quad-header!

I did nothing on Xmas, didn't have energy to make any plans, and no one tried to offer any, so a day home was OK. I binged on the first couple of seasons of Ghosts (US), which I have to say holds up really well.

Getting my license renewed couldn't have been easier -- in fact, the T dropped me off about 40 minutes early. I went to the AAA office downtown in Boston, which lets you make appointments, they had all my info queued up. I had to go in person because my picture and signature had to be refreshed -- I'm not sure how long it's been since they were originally taken!

Now tagless for your comfort.

EM made a full tenderloin with a horseradish sauce, and a very rich pot of creamed spinach and I made Au Gratin potatoes (Comte, Sharp Cheddar and Gruyere). Best Au Gratin potatoes I ever made.

DH made a tenderloin for Christmas Day. It was exquisite.

Yes Crema sounds like the Puerto Rican Coquito that I make and love

Is this similar to horchata (Rumchata)? Because I love anything creamy.
