    Of course, it's all speculative.... they didn't have the good
    stuff available to tempt you anyway.... ;)
    None for the pie on Thanksgiving either, but the BiL is
    lactose intolerant, so the idea didn't even occur.
    And the non-lactose stuff just isn't the same... At my sister's Thanksgiving, she whipped up some fresh for the pies... :) A nice
    big bowl of it.... ;)

    Nom, nom...gone?

    Undoubtedly... when I left, there was still some left, but I don't
    expect it lasted much past the next day... :)

    Probably a mix.
    And did you find them yet....? :)
    Probably never will.
    Sigh. 'Course, you never know when one might appear from its hiding
    place, possibly even helped by kitty... Or you might have to buy a
    new box of colored pencils....

    I only have three or four now.

    Pencils, or boxes of pencils...? ;)

    My mom did find a mouse in the garage. I said
    I didn't care as long as he stayed in the garage. If he gets
    in my cookie mix, he's toast. Toast, I say.
    Yup... he'd be wise to stay out of your way, and definitely out of
    your cookie mix... (G) Are you going to be making lots of
    Christmas cookies....?

    Not many. No point, and my sister is a cookie baking fiend this time
    of year.

    So she handles that... :)
