Hello there, Slow-Cookerers!!

There is one week until Christmas Day which means I am going to stay away from the computer to catch up with The Things That Must Get Done.

:-)

Thank you for being on my email list and for your support and kindness. It really means so much to know that there are "real" people out there in cyberspace!!

I told myself I wasn't going to work this week, and that I would take the time to check lists, wrap stuff, watch sappy Hallmark movies, and simply enjoy all the teeny tiny moments.

So. This is the last email you are going to get from me the rest of this week.

:-)

I'm emailing because I've gotten a few requests for things and I don't want to leave anybody hanging. It's not my style.

HEY STEPH!! I'm trying to make leg of lamb for the very first time. I already bought one that's 5 pounds and I'm not sure what to do. (PS, it's frozen).

Okay. First off, THAW IT. :-)

then make this: Dry Rub Leg of Lamb

HEY STEPH, I am hosting New Year's Eve and want the best dip known to man!

okay. you need Sausage, Rotel, and Cream Cheese. AKA, Mommy Crack

HAM! I bought a ham and I'm supposed to cook it and bring it to my mom's but I'm not sure how!

here is our favorite Christmas Ham recipe.

HELP! I'm supposed to go to a gift-basket making party and need to bring something homemade and chocolatey!

okay! how about Fudge or Peanut Clusters?

Alcohol! Didn't you have hot adult drinks you could make in the slow cooker somewhere?

yes! how about Hot Buttered Rum or Mulled Wine?

But I Don't Drink!! No problem! I've got Holiday Punch and Wassail for you!

FONDUE! I want to have a fondue party and not have it stink. What should I make?

here you go -- fondues that aren't fondon'ts... ;-)

Resolutions! I've never stuck to a NY Resolution in my entire life. What's your trick?

ok. I wrote a tiny bit about that, here.

Lots and lots of love and the Very Merriest of Holidays.
