The holidays ran out before I
made these exquisite cookies. They looked so fragile and are filled with a
wonderful brandy cream. The directions appear to look easy to make, but they
also look difficult. I just decided to share the recipe and possibly make them
later.
Random Reflections
Did
you know that the musical The King and I
will be 80 years old this year? I
loved the original version with Deborah Kerr and Yul Brynner. I actually
learned a lot about Siam from the movie, as I had never really learned about it
in school. Yul Brenner was the ultimate King. I loved that they made him open
minded enough to want his children to learn, yet close minded when it came to
polygamy and slavery. Deborah Kerr was wonderful as Anna. I loved her dresses.
The singing and dancing made the movie wonderful. If you have an hour and a half, rewatch and enjoy The King and I this week.
Helpful Home Hints
Where
will you be on March 8th at 2:00 a.m? I will be sound asleep in bed. Sounds like a silly question,
right? March 8th is an important day on my calendar, because that is
the day we will change our clocks by moving them forward. Did you learn the
“spring ahead and fall back” expression? It has always helped me remember which
way to move the clock. This is the day I also change the batteries in my smoke
and carbon dioxide units. I always find it ironic when smoke alarms do not
deploy because of an old battery. A fire that can be deadly because of a careless error. Put a note on your calendar to change yours, and not become a casualty of forgetfulness.
