reading.... eating.......

one christmas cozy...   one ya book, by a favorite author...   

enjoyed the cozy, with a big country home in the uk, a varied group of guests for the christmas holidays, snowed in of course, and a murder, also of course.  ,-))))

nearly done with the "the fixer"....  as i said above, i really enjoy books by jennifer lynn barnes.  yes, they are ya.  also yes, they are intelligent ya books. 
.
-sigh-  i know i shouldn't even show a pic of a home-made fruitcake.  because everyone goes "aaaahggggggg" at the very word "fruitcake."  but if a spice cake mix has candied fruit and walnuts added to it...   and then, it is pricked all over, and rum is poured on it, often...   it makes a nice little treat in the evening, with a glass of port or harvey's bristol cream.   :-)
.
and this cake mix, was gluten free!  so i can eat it too!  which is even nicer.   :-)

The fruitcake looks yummy, even though I have never been a fan. But, I've never experienced a homemade one before. ..Thebes always been the horrid store bought cakes and always hard and stale! Love and hugs to you sweet friend!
