LOVE - COMFORT

Mashed Potatoes

Buckets, vats, troughs, bowls, I don't care how you serve them just make sure you have plenty of em'.  I am talking mashed potatoes.  The ultimate comfort food. A must at any turkey day meal and appropriate pretty much any time of the year.  What makes Thanksgiving mashed potatoes better than the rest ? Gravy people, it's the gravy.  Tis the season people - eat mashed potatoes.

It's almost turkey time and you know what that means?  Tons and tons of amazing food, so sweet and savory, yummy and scrumptious - jeeze  I could go on and on and on but I won't.  Basically my point is having a little self-control.  Gorging yourself till your stuffed and you have to unbutton your jeans is not attractive.  Drinking one too many eggnog's or wine at dinner will leave you with a hangover and a slight case of embarrassment the next day.  Remember savor the food, enjoy your family and friends and everything in moderation.

If you like the classic french dessert Creme Brulee you are going to love this cocktail.  Super creamy and smooth laced with vanilla and of course vodka - what could be better? The perfect after dinner drink or make a punch bowl full for a holiday bash.  And as usual remember to drink responsibly.

I am quite smitten with myself right now.  You see, I just made a pretty little batch of sea shell candles.  Amazingly pretty and amazingly easy.  Now I don't frequent "craft" stores very often.  I am more artistic than crafty and find craft stores just a little to foo foo for my taste. Regardless, off I went with my material list in hand to Michaels. 

Material List:
Shells - found or store bought
Soy wax - microwavable
Wicks and Wick Holders
Microwave safe dish or Pyrex measuring cup

Use shells that are deep - I used scallop, clam and mussel shells.  They are larger and deeper and will hold more wax. 

Wash shells in hot water with soap, dry completely

Prep your wicks and wick holders, place in center of shell

Melt soy wax in microwave per package instructions.  I used a Pyrex measuring cup - easier to pour the wax into the shells with

Slowly and carefully pour the melted wax into the shell

Let dry at least 30 minutes - better yet overnight

Trim wick prior to lighting

These are a perfect addition to your Thanksgiving table and a reminder of summers past and summers to come.
