What's on your agenda for today?

Today is shortbread day, I have seven tins to fill. It should take me two or three days. By xmas the flavour will have permeated them. So much fun cutting them into holiday shapes. Next, it will be gingerbread boys, and sugar cookie
press cookies. Then rum and brandy balls. Lots of other stuff after that.
 

I love shortbread with Chili. Feel free to send some my way.

I will be going to the airport in a few hours to clean and inspect the jet that I fly. I want to take it through the washer and have the leather interior cleaned by a man that does this on the side and is very good at it. It's really not my job, but my wife is out of town and I need to fill the time doing something. Besides, I also get a chance to speak with pilots that fly with my old company, United Airlines. Tomorrow, I am taking the day off and doing nothing, but maybe watch some football and then go to my daughter's house for dinner, since my wife isn't home to cook. I can't cook, so I am better off going somewhere and have some eatable food.
 
Good morning. It's a bright, sunshiny day here for now. Clouds expected this afternoon, but who cares as long as it doesn't rain.

I've got a good bit of tidying up to do, and a neighbor is coming over later to cut down two small cedar trees that have some kind of blight.

That's my big day. I continue to live life in the fast lane:)
 

Me, either...I don't like chili unless it's "white" chili, and I like to put cornbread in the bottom of the bowl and ladle the chili over it.

Shalimar, I saw your mention of rum and brandy balls and was reminded that I have a recipe for Kahlua balls. Went searching for it. Hunted high and low. No soap:( JMHO, they are better than rum, brandy or bourbon ones, but then I'm biased because I'm very fond of Kahlua.
 
White chili has navy beans and uses chicken. I don't know what else goes into it because it's one of the things I don't make. Daughter is the chili-maker here.

I bet Google has a recipe for Kahlua balls.
 
It is a bright sunny day here; so I'll finish installing a backup camera on my van. Last month, I backed into someone in a parking lot. Hopefully, this will keep me from doing that again.

Husband makes a vegetarian chili with Quorn mince (like ground beef), kidney beans, etc etc. We eat it on top of basmati rice. Add hot sauce of choice. Yummy.
 
Going into the city - Glasgow - to celebrate hubby's birthday. Going to see the final Hunger Games film. Spending the night at a hotel. Tomorrow we'll get our international driving permits.
 
Woke up to frost on the ground and the smell of the neighbor's wood burning fireplace this morning.....Concrete people are pouring the foundation for my granddaughter's house...

I hope all will have a great holiday week.
 
Jackie, woke to frost here, too, but the sun is out and there's no wind so it doesn't seem so cold.

Jujube...by the time we get old, we don't usually have faint hearts anymore...that's a good thing!
 
Jujube, good luck and yes, getting old is not for sissies.

We enjoyed our overnight trip to Glasgow. Saw two movies, got our international driving permits. Counting down. Back in Glasgow next Sunday overnight for our flight on Monday.

Today was gym. Rearranging some of my suitcase as I always do.
 
Can you hear me now, IKE?

Ameriscot, it's almost time for you to spend the winter relaxing in the sun!

My agenda is crowded with cheesecakes today. I need everybody to send good juju, positive thoughts and small prayers my way, please. They need to be beautiful and delicious, and my customers need to be very satisfied and happy with them:)
 
Gym this morning. Dumbbells later. Started cleaning out the fridges yesterday and need to get both of them completely cleaned and emptied and we'll turn them both off when we leave Sunday morning. Timed the food pretty well and shouldn't have to dump much. Anything worth saving will go to our friends, as well as the last of the rubbish going in their bin.

Started reading a hard-to-put-down book a few days ago, and decided to stop as it's just the type of book that grabs me and will make the first flight (7 hours) go past quickly. I'll finish up my brother's book on business and social issues first. He'll be pleased to know I finally read and finished one of his books and found it interesting.
 
Starting on the Thanksgiving stuff. I bought all the stuff for dressing yesterday and last night my son-in-law decided to make the dressing. Oh well, there's still Christmas coming. I have devilled eggs, sweet potato crunch, my famous artery-clogging macaroni and cheese, sweet-and-sour slaw, and Waldorf salad to do. I'll get everything mixed today and pop the stuff in the oven tomorrow.
 
Jujube, you're starting and I'm finishing up. Tomorrow should be an easy day for me because all I have to do is roast the turkey. Yay.
