I am a Dweeb

I have been playing a bit of Solitaire on the computer.

No, that's not the dweeby part.

I have my deck picture set at a lovely drawing of a palm tree on a beach with the sun shining. It makes me feel sunny and warm.

No not dweeby yet.

As I am playing the sun will occasionally smile and wink at me. I am not imagining it. I guess the deck is animated to do it.

The Dweeby part is that I always smile back. Always. It makes me feel happy. I feel as if the sun is smiling only for me and me alone.

I just love it when my sun says hi to me.

What a Dweeb.

May you never wonder again why children slept so well in Victorian times!

I was looking for Mulled Cider and WIne Recipes and came across this lovely recipe....



Hot Milk Posset - to help kids sleep


In Victorian England, children were allowed small glasses of wine at the dinner table. Alcohol was a traditional sleep aid for all ages back then. This posset was a classic drink that nannies gave to tykes that were having trouble falling asleep. Apparently it worked very well!

1/8 tsp almond extract
1 pint milk
1/2 tsp grated lemon peel
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg white
1/4 cup dark rum
1/2 cup brandy

Heat in a saucepan the milk, lemon peel, sugar, and almond extract. When it begins to scald, remove from heat. Beat egg white and add in. Now add rum and brandy. Serve hot.

I am intrigued and repulsed all at the same time. Do you think the recipe is for one serving or several?
