It's Beginning to Smell A Lot Like...

Something, anyway. Today mostly consisted of list writing and analyzing, with a rush of baking somewhere in the mix.

So far, the following items have been conquered:

1. Peanut Butter Fudge (Gram Irish recipe)

2. Chocolate Fudge made with Sweet Potato - It's good, I promise.

3. Homemade sugar cookies with 'fun stuff' added in. (1/2 of the batch has Andes Mints chunks. The other half has white chocolate, cashews and macadamia nuts.)

I also had time to snag a dinner recipe from Belle of the Blog - and made it on a much smaller scale for dinner. My family loved it, and there are leftovers!

On an entirely different note:

Something is crapping on the railing of my back stairs. In a very concentrated area. In spite of a strong effort to keep this area clean, piles of the stuff appear anew every freaking morning. Like manna from Heaven. Or not.

Due to the smallish space, said creature would not be able to - uh- straddle and dump, if you will. This leaves only one possibility: I have a frat house of squirrels living on my roof. This is apparently their Hell Week, and they are trashing my back stairs as part of Initiation.

If I hear even one note of "Hey, Hey Captain Jack", I am plastering the rooftop with D-Con.

I promise.
