Rare TiogaCruiser Posted December 24, 2020 #76 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Merry Christmas to All Dailyites, or Christmas Eve, depending on where you are. Adding my thanks to Rich, for putting together the Daily, Roy for our care lists, sunrises, memories from prior cruises, and all who regularly contribute, and those who sometimes post. We have a cloudy, somewhat drizzley day. The Santa Ana winds that raged during the night have mellowed. Am making peppermint stick gelato. We’ll have Dad join us for dinner tomorrow. Prime rib is on the menu, but tonight it’s pizza. (Am hoping the microwave oven holds out: we’ve had some strange, unpleasant smells turn up randomly and can’t mail down where it’s coming from, but the oven (specifically the microwave part) is on the top of the suspect list. Thanks to this thread, I decided not to use auto clean cycle.🤨). Would love a repeat of today’s weather so I can light a fire in the fireplace tomorrow. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennybear Posted December 24, 2020 #77 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) Late Merry Christmas wishes! Our first granddaughter’s birthday is today so we had to drive out of town to drop off her present. It was also my grandmother’s birthday🥰 Edited December 24, 2020 by bennybear 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually worked out well until our feet got really cold. I am posting a picture that I think epitomizes Christmas 2020! Sorry not sure why it is Upside down but typical for 2020. I find that if I resize photos they turn wonky, sideways/upside down. So now I just post pictures the way they are on my phone. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TiogaCruiser Posted December 25, 2020 #82 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Our evening’s gelato experiment is ripening in the freezer and it’s a winner. My grandma loved peppermint stick ice cream. This is for her- Notchor (sic) Gramma’s Candy Cane Gelato: Use the chocolate gelato recipe (https://foodnouveau.com/recipes/desserts/frozen/dark-chocolate-gelato/) BUT do not add the chocolate or cocoa, and substitute 2T peppermint schnapps for the vanilla😉 Melt 2/3 c chocolate chips in 1/4 c coconut oil, mix and set aside. Process in ice cream maker. Add 1/4 c. shattered candy canes to the gelato about 5 minutes before it is done. (Mixture should be getting stiff and climbing the spindle). Then add the cooled chocolate/coconut oil mixture. It will freeze and shatter into small pieces in the ice cream as it spins. Ripen in freezer for at least 2 hours before serving.

highland cruiser Posted December 25, 2020 #83 Share Posted December 25, 2020 A Merry Christmas eve to everyone. Thank you to everyone who posts such positive comments. A bright spot of my day is to read this. Christmas day will be filled with zoom family times. Prime Rib is on the menu. We tried to get a small one but there will be plenty of leftovers for a while. Stay safe and enjoy your holiday. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a screenshot of your pic & flipped it. I do not know why the CC system only rotates some pics I resize. I bet there is a legit reason, but I have no clue what it is. It is a wonderful pic!
