Final Countdown
I know how to do a countdown clock, because I put one on my friend/colleague/business partner's web site but I am too lazy to look up the code and do it here. I am also confident that my readers can count down from 3! Holy crud. 3 days until Christmas.
Before I go any further, I must make a public thank you to my friend Khyle. He helped me with my work problem involving Access. What a huge weight off my shoulders. That silly problem had me completely stuck, and without his help, who knows what I would have done. So again Khyle, a HUGE thank you! You are 'da man! :-D
I hope everyone has a very enjoyable weekend and a very Merry Christmas. We will be spending time with friends and some family, and I'm sure plenty of time on the web cam with the family members that live in places afar. The kids are getting so excited at the thought of opening their presents and seeing what Santa will bring. I wish we were getting some of the snow that dumped on Denver, but all we are getting is rain, rain and more rain. The kids will be off of school for two weeks, and I don't have to work again until January 2. Yahoo!
If you haven't done much baking, I will close with a cookie recipe for you. Many of you will recognize this from year's past, but it is worth repeating because the last two paragraphs make me chuckle every time. Merry Christmas!!!!!

Great recipe, make sure the read & follow the instructions carefully. This has been passed down for generations.
Holiday Tequila Cookies
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup (two sticks) butter
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 cups dried fruit (dried cranberries or raisins)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans
2 cups all purpose flour
1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila (silver or gold, as desired)
First, sample the Cuervo to check quality. Take a large bowl. Check the Cuervo to be sure it is of the highest quality. Pour another 4 ounces in a measuring cup and drink.
Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of the butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon sugar. Beat again.
At this point, it is best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK. Try another 4 ounces, just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break two leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit, picking the frigging fruit off the floor. Mixx on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers, just pry it loose with a screwdriver.
Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift 2 cups of salt or something. Check the Jose Cuervo. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find.
Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner.
Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the dishwasher.
Sappy Foliday!
