Mind sharing the recipe you use?

I would stab someone to get that plate of desserts.

I would say "try it, you'll like it"...but you would not like the jalapeño part for sure. The bacon, yes, maybe the bacon plus PB but definitely not the jalapenos

And a charcuterie I am going to try for Christmas appetizer

Christmas Eve is our family party. About 50 people. We rent a log cabin. It has central heat, kitchen, and bathrooms. A huge fireplace. We will have a fire in the fireplace and the place is all decorated with trees and other decorations. My brother will dress as Santa Claus and we take pictures with the little ones on his lap.

Then Christmas Day is a brunch at my sister's home. She recently bought a huge home and has been working like crazy to get it the way she wants it. The house has five bedrooms and two and a half baths. The former owner was handicapped so there is ramp to get to the top story. There was a stair lift but it was old and my sister had it removed. The owner passed away last year. She kept the place immaculate and there are beautiful shutters and blinds, lots of woodwork and moldings.

My sister is married and lives in North Carolina, but wanted a place to live part time in Ohio. I thought a nice condo would make a lot more sense, but she wanted a big old house. She is my youngest sister and has unbelievable ambition and energy.

The meme brings back a funny memory. The year the Chucky movie came out my sister in law bought her son a Chucky doll for Christmas. She did not know about the movie and did realize how creepy that doll was. We were all in shock when he opened that present.

Have a great holiday Mel and everyone.
