I was just telling Mr. R how privileged our generation has been to have grown up with so many genuine heroes. One died today. Nelson Mandela was an inspiration to so many of my generation, and hopefully to the young folks today.

Help, please!

Our friend,kaydee23 is going through some tough times, guys. She asked if I'd post a link here on my LJ, so I'm letting her explain in her own words what she's like you to do.

Hello all,

I've created a GO FUND ME SITE. I saw it on Huffington Post, and I thought, "Why not?"

I don't want to cause any more work for anyone, but if you could copy the link and email it to others or repost it in your journal, I'd appreciate it.

I really want to keep my dogs with my in my apartment. I don't feel bad using the GO FUND ME site because my fur kids mean everything to me.

Just click the link if you want to find out what's going on. Thanks!

December 5--Favorite holiday recipe? Is there story behind it?


Probably my very favorite recipe is peanut butter kiss cookies. I like it because it looks labor intensive and is so not, and it's very American. All the cookies I grew up with were European-style—I love them but I suck at making them. So the peanut butter cookies are a tradition in our family and for the kids, it's not Christmas unless we have them—just like it wasn't Christmas until I'd snuck the first vanillekipferl off the tray.
