Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[DaisyDuck001]

Tea - soother of the sick, warmer of the cold, and general civilizing factor

Yes, and in hotter climates, iced tea is also a cooler of the overheated!

3 things you're grateful for begging with the letter T

Today! God's gift of this very day right here and now extra with my dad and in health, safe home. As someone else said time goes right along with this, too.

Toaster which is a nickname for someone I love.

Tears For Fears ...Everybody Wants to Rule the World!

Typewriter ...I had one for Christmas as a child. All my thank you letters were typed (slowly ) that year!

Tenby (on the coast of Wales) ...I haven't been for years, but just look at this

T Things:

1. Tea—copying, but it is mostly what I drink. Iced, plain, black tea all day every day. I also drink hot, plain, black tea when it’s cold.

2. Thanksgiving—starts off the holiday season.

3. Television—fairly inexpensive form of entertainment

You know where to hit me, don't you?

1. Cheesecake. We had an amazing version of it while on vacation in Belize. it was less sweet, so now that's my thing. I made this (link) no bake recipe recently, and paired it with this sauce (link) that I added spiced pecans (link) (but skipped the cumin in it, and used aleppo pepper instead of cayenne).



2. Pecan pie. I use the one linked in #1 for the spiced pecans. The bourbon I use varies, depending on what we have on hand; sometimes it's whiskey, sometimes bourbon.


3. I love pumpkin cookies and cream cheese icing. I use this recipe (link) to make them into whoopie pies, because these are so soft; I do whip the cream cheese until it's more of a fluffy texture, rather than a silky one. I like to add (surprise) the spiced pecans from #1, to add some texture.

Sweet things

1. My granny's pound cake when she was alive
2. Chocolate eclair with the Graham crackers, pudding, and chocolate on top
3. My cookies. Patting myself on the back a tiny bit...I've been asked to sell them!

Happy Thursday...warm, dry thoughts to everyone! Today is going to be the pits.

@PollyannaMom Those look so yummy.

Three sweet treats I'm grateful for . . .
1. Cookies. I probably said this before but I've hardly met a cookie I didn't like!
2. Coconut cake, especially the homemade one my family bakes for me each birthday.
3. Dark chocolate almond bark, with my favorite being from a shop down the Cape.

 

[mumto3girls]

Sweet treats:
1. Chocolate
2. Chocolate cookies
3. Chocolate cake

That was easy! LOL. I’m not a big sweets eater—I vastly prefer savory foods, but I love chocolate—especially milk chocolate.

1.Spice cake with whipped cream cheese icing(not carrot cake-even though I enjoy it-more often than not they put raisins in it and just...no)
2.Buckeyes
3.Lava Cake

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

Sweets

The chocolate custard eclairs they had when I was growing up. The ones I try now don’t really measure up, but hope springs eternal, so I still order them.

Mr Goodbars

Boston Fruit Slices… I found them on line and they are individually wrapped so I can share!

Oh my gosh, I love those!! I remember buying them with my allowance or babysitting money as a teen.

Other sweet treats I am grateful for:

Hostess snowballs - they are my comfort sweet, the thing my mom used to get me when I needed cheering up, and the thing I buy myself in anticipation of hard days (like dropping DS off at college!)

Peppermint Milanos - I buy them for myself at Christmastime and hide them behind healthy stuff so nobody else eats them

Ice Cream - I am always grateful for summer family time going to the ice cream stand (and for ice cream truck memories when all the neighborhood kids were little.
