What I couldn't get this week shopping

Years ago I gave away my pastry blender. Now I want another for making biscuits. There are none to be found in the thrift stores or even big box stores. You’d think some homemaker just like me would get tired of hers just sitting in the cupboard. I refuse to spend $15 for a new one online, so I‘ll keep on using the two knifes method.

This may be very bad advice but could you improvise some sort of cover for the bowl that would allow you to use your immersion blender.

Maybe a plastic bag with a hole for the blender and a rubber band. 🤔

It might work or it might turn into an I Love Lucy moment. 😉🤭😂

It thought of that too and then realized it would pulverize the butter rather than leave it lumpy.

Maybe I’m better off not being able to whip up a batch of Red Lobster biscuits. Darn, I sure do love those things.

check some thrift stores
 
Maraschino cherries. They’re totally unhealthy. Doesn’t matter. A Manhattan or a Christmas cookie without one on top just aren’t the same. I probably won’t make either, but once I’ve got something locked in my wish list I can’t be without it.

I picked up a jar, with stems, at the local Wegman’s last week!

A Manhattan is on the wish list for Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.

Try draining a jar and refilling it with your favorite alcohol. 🍒

Looking for good M. Cherries, too. Saw some in a liquor store for $15.00. Yikes! No Wegmans close by though, will keep looking. Got to have some Brandy old fashions.
