I made a rum cake today simply because I’ve never done it before. I felt like I should be baking… it is Christmas, after all…!

My friend pointed out the Bacardi recipe and I used that with Myers dark.

Just one thing…. is it supposed to look like this? LOL!

I walked out the back door to find these little guys. Of course I ran back in to get some seed so they’d come close!

I’ve no idea how I got any pictures at all, though I shot 42! They’re like fuzzy little perpetual motion machines. And they still have their built in egg breakers on the ends of their bills!

There was another duck with them, a real arse who was mean to the babies; every time one came close he’d peck it, which made mama duck look his way or even peck at him if she was close enough.

For some reason I’ve never been able to take afternoon naps; can’t sleep during the day unless I’m sick. But if I could I would have climbed right in there beside her…

Whatcha want?

She’s back asleep. Lucky bitch. LOL!

I’ve never understood why they call this hamburger pie ‘impossible’. I think it’s a step up on Shepherd’s Pie, to be honest. Love the eggs, milk and cheese! And no nasty vegetables to get in the way. No; I didn’t make any to go with the pie. My bad.

I’m more into dairy products right now that I am chocolate; go figure! My body must be trying to tell me something…

Of course, all the dairy could account for my sinus problem and the fact that my head hurts like someone’s using it as a gong.

No diet pills, just good commonsense food and exercise. That’s my new mantra.

My New Year’s resolution this year is to make no silly New Year’s resolutions.

So there.

Nah, it’s just another root.
