Almond Cake and a Signature Dish

Look what our friend and blog follower Tookie baked and brought up the the house. Her delicious almond cake. Wonderful with coffee, tea or a little scoop of vanilla ice cream. Perfect timing with houseguests ready to share. I knew how good it would taste as I’ve been fortunate to receive her almond cake previous Christmases.

Recently my friend Vincie sent a NY Times article about the comfort of taking a Signature Dish everytime when going to a party. Her family and friends are always counting on her making Black Bean Salsa and also her signature Broccoli Casserole for holiday meals. When I then sent the article on to my friend Joanne, she was preparing her signature dish of deviled eggs to take to a party.

Are you known for a certain dish that you share?

Thank you Tookie.
What a thoughtful and delicious gift.

My Wish for You Today

But especially for my son-in-law James who is celebrating a birthday today.

He is the one who gave me this wonderful ink print years ago.

Framed! I keep it in the dining room on the mantel to remind myself to do just that.

So I’m posting it for him today as I wish him a great day. And a great new year! ❤️

Peppermint Stick Ice Cream an Annual Treat

There are bits of actual peppermint stick in the ice cream. My mother always enjoyed this flavor which would be in stores around Christmas.

I’m in Ohio overnight and this afternoon Laura texted me from the store. “Do you want anything?”

I said Peppermint Stick Ice Cream!

She didn’t just buy any old container, oh no, she bought the premium brand– Graeter’s

Extra smooth and rich. I find it refreshing and totally satisfying. Nostalgic, too.

I know that Penn State Creamery has Peppermint Stick Ice Cream in stock now. It’s seasonal. You can order for delivery to 48 states. I only know this fact because my dear knitting friend Terry, orders up this flavor and has it shipped to her. She has a nice supply in her freezer.

What the Golden Ticket got Charlie

Yes that’s a 5 pound chocolate candy bar!

Charlie earned a one pound chocolate bar for his school fundraising efforts.

And then somehow he got a golden ticket!

He said it was random. A golden ticket was in one of the one pound bars!

Which got him this five pound chocolate bar! (Notice one row is missing)

Roy is ready for his dad to cut up another row for us to share.
