The holiday season just
ended. For weeks beforehand I had been dreaming about big spreads and heavily
laden tables: clove-studded roasted hams, golden skinned roast turkeys,
roast beef and gravy. Oodles of noodles, squash, green bean casserole,
what have you.
Well, not at my house though. They are "vegetarians!" But, still there were lots of seasonal dishes, homemade goodies from our parent's clients and lots more.

Now, I tried my best to get into the Christmas spirit. Barcie and I lounged under the Christmas tree. We gazed up at the lights and made our little Christmas wish lists. Then I noticed, way up high in the branches was a delicious looking cookie, homemade. I happened to LOVE sugar cookies. What was it doing up there?
But when I wrestled it onto the floor and took a couple bites, pthew! That is not a SUGAR cookie that is a SALT cookie! Even Little Miss Perfect (Barcie) tried one too.
Maybe I'd have better luck with a wrapped gift. I mean, if you are giving food as a gift, it must be edible, right? Soooo, I picked a package that smelled the best. (Hmm, Santa got my name wrong; it’s not “Debbie!”)

I ripped off the
bow, scratched off the wrapping paper and broke open the
box…Since it was a plastic shell this meant I had to figure out how to crack
that open, too.
Finally, I was in the box! An entire box of Ferrero Rocher® chocolates! I eagerly gobbled my first chocolate; paper, foil and all. Scrumptious!!
Unfortunately, my fantasy of settling down with a box of fine chocolates was shattered when the owners stormed into the house. Supposedly, chocolate is “poisonous to dogs” or so they claim. After all my hard work!
