Here and There and EVERYWHERE

Pipe Cleaner Christmas Creatures have not eaten my brain through my eye sockets while I sleep. Yet.  But!  They're on my 'dining room' (<---Term used loosely) table, and without fail, every morning since their birth, I've stumbled all bleary and confused into my kitchen only to be OVERCOME WITH A WAVE OF TERROR BECAUSE CREATURES ARE WATCHING ME.
Oh.
Sigh.
It's just Pimp Santa.
Moving on.

I've been using my slow cooker for my FAVORITE PURPOSE - the making of hot alcoholic beverages.  If you're doing cider, I highly recommend squeezing some orange juice in (I used some clementines that were about to jump ship).
Molly recommended butterscotch schnapps for a caramel apple effect.  That's next on the list of Things To Try.
