Somebody give me a backrub.

I've been rolling out and baking cookies, cooking up more green chili, chopping and slicing the stuff that will hold and making enchiladas for Christmas Eve dinner for the past seven hourswith one break to shovel some snow and walk the dog.

Now it's time to work. Songs to rehearse, one to finish writing and another writing assignment "due" New Year's Eve.

My back is killing me, but in a very very good way.

1. Rub, rub, knead, knead....

I'm glad I could help. It also helps me prepare for my cooking marathon that starts tomorrow. :)

3. have fun!

What's for dinner?

My Christmas Eve menu is chicken enchiladas, homemade tamales and a bunch of "trimmings."

I would have waited, but I opted for stuff that can be prepared in advance because I have a gig (knock on wood that my throat crud lets me sing) tomorrow night.



Yikes! just had to run and put the frijoles on to soak.

5. Ham, Potato Cheese bread...

Sweet Potatoes (with marshmallows) corn, green beans, Mashed potatoes, stuffing, mashed potatoes, pie, banana bread... and what ever I decide to throw in for variety. :)

7. I'm thinking sugar cookies shaped like candy canes and X-mas trees...

8. I baked some sugar cookies

had to roll them out with a wine bottle wrapped in plastic wrap

and cut them with an improvised cookie cutter.

But they are pretty yummy. Do you have the right shaped cookie cutters?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

9. nope.

I'm thinking a sharp knife and sprinkles.

The wine bottle is a GREAT idea! Do you think a Southern Comfort bottle would work? I have an empty one or two laying around....

:rofl:

[leftofthedial]

10. probably

especially if you empty them just before you start rolling.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

11. perhaps a dull knife would be a better idea then...

:P

2. Maybe this guy can help

(Well I hope back rub is what he is doing)

[leftofthedial]

4. well, let's just say it is definitely a backrub

and leave it at that . . . .

[Whoa_Nelly]
