Made some classic banana pudding and a blueberry pie. I bake a lot but I forget how good the simple stuff can be sometimes. Southern banana pudding with meringue is so stupidly delicious

i think i knocked it out of the park with the ham sauce. http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/raisin-honey-mustard-sauce-for-ham-23159 used this but cooked the raisins and garlic confit and used the immersion blender on it at the end. it's got insane depth with the red wine vinegar and smoked paprika. some black pepper or horseradish would be good in it too but my family is a bunch of sissy babies and i even cut back on the ginger

Since my inlaws immediate family is now huge, we just do a Secret Santa. My FIL got me an awesome gift. In Panama, there was no real public bus system until a few years ago. Instead they took old school buses and would repaint them with crazy artwork that would identify the driver/route. Since a lot of them had red as the main color, they were called Diablo Rojos. When they modernized the public transit system, they tried to do away with them, there was even a Diablo Rojo graveyard. Some people saw them like some see street graffiti, as a culturally significant form of art. Anyways, they just released a coffee table book about the history and such of the Diablos Rojos.

Happy Xmas TFF Goons! I’m such an old man. First year I’ve had a beard and I got a mustache trimmer and I’m super stoked.

I got slippers, homemade pajama pants with one reverse pocket so my phone doesn't fall out when. I sit down and a tumbler etched with a map of my neighborhood and it was great.

We did Secret Santa too since we're traveling as a family. My mom got me a journal even though I've been trying and failing to keep a journal for over a decade. She got me some other cool poo poo too (including a bottle of clear hot sauce!) but I have a huge stack of empty journals and notebooks at home already lolThaddius the Large posted:Courtesy of https://www.amazingribs.com I love his stuff. His South Carolina mustard sauce is my personal favorite, but this East Carolina vinegar sauce has been tried and enjoyed too. Definitely pure vinegar and pepper, but in a good way, just mix and refrigerate for at least 12 hours (I’d give it 48 or more) to meld. drat that sounds good. Wanna soak a big wad of meat in that sauce.

Merry Christmas all. Little late, but if you want a stupid easy sauce for ham mix equal parts Heinz 57 and honey. Heat, mix, and serve. It is super good.

Was snow shoveling my drive way because it snowed all night like it’s actually winter and the neighbor teen came over and helped then he gave me smoked salmon he caught the day before and just finished smoking and I gave him a plate full of random weird baked goods. Xmas spirit owns y’all

A Charlie Brown Christmas is the most overrated holiday special of all. Muppets have the best version of a Christmas Carol. These are my Christmas thoughts.

I got a Batman hoodie and I’m totally happy with that. Haven’t gotten that many gifts since I was 20 but I roll with it because as a kid holy poo poo was I a brat so I try my best to give back. Gave my friend a switch for Xmas cuz they been real good friends to me (also had some bonus left over  ) Though my little black cuddle of death (cat)we adopted after Thanksgiving has kept my spirits up after long hours of work so I say she’s like my waaay way before Xmas gift.

I loved dragonlance as a kid/teenager but I'm under no illusions to the quality of the writing. Some were written to be straight up D&D adventures which were fun. Got an immersion blender, some books including a dumpling recipe book, and Zelda for the switch. Solid year
