[glenn57]

so since its tis the holiday season, the other night i mentioned to my wife i'm getting the idea of holiday type munchies, namely slated in the shell peanuts. well pies , candy ..........ya know stuff not good for you!!!

any way monday at the store i asked the produce manager if they were going to get the bulk peanuts in. yea.........nope!!!!!! sine the rona came about........all the bulk nuts, bulk bins of holiday type candies and goodies are a thing of the past!!!!!1

yea you can buy them in sealed bags......but it just aint the same as scoopin them bulk in another bag!!!!!!!!

wonder how they go about doing the ol st Nick thing nowadays.........poor kids.

Regardless how you purchase them…THEY EXPENSIVE AS HELL!  I thought my local Cub, of all places, still has the scoops.

They are free with your 5 Guys burger.
The price of nuts is out of control. It is crazy what they want for them. This will be the first year in a long time that I have not made xmas jerky or sticks. I just don’t have the time this year. You can keep your cookies. (they do look good)

Edit: If Sharon is making the cookies I will have to have a couple.

      All these look awesome. My wife and daughter had to cut back on their Christmas baking. Two years ago, they baked, I think, 51 dozen cookies, breads, cupcakes and candy for gifts. All I got was the goodies that burned or were deformed.
      I think it just took too much time and got too expensive.

That is a lot of work and I admire them for it.  LOL   I want to make a couple of batches of ice cream and maybe some cookies.

It took them a few days. Made the house smell good. For some strange reason, they like to listen to Christmas music while they worked. Unfortunately, my wife really likes to listen to the Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas album. I find plenty of other things to do.

[LPS]

LOL  Ya we used to have Alvin and crew on too, years ago.

My wife usually makes a few different kinds of cookies.  The usual classics.  I usually make a cardemon cookie.

I"m also going to make some venison summer sausage with a simple recipe.  I'll post pics good or bad.

[KEN W]

I'm making Snow Goose summer sausage.

      I have been corrected by my wife. First time that's ever happened.
      She told me I forgot to mention the sheets of peanut butter fudge, chocolate fudge and the peanut butter and chocolate fudge.
      Just an FYI, up until about 4 or 5 years ago, I thought she had to bake fudge in the oven.

[LPS]

You are one lucky man.  That is just great!   Ooooh, ya don't bake fudge.  LOLOL

[glenn57]

  oh fudge!
