Tool Bag Update

If you haven't checked out the path of the tool bag, the web site has added a new feature called footprint. It shows the area the tool bag can be viewed above the horizon. I wish that I'd had it the other night when it passed by western Oklahoma. I might have been able to see it. I'm going to have to get a telescope...

TOOLBAG

HOT BUTTERED RUM!


Here's the recipe I got from Gracie for the hot buttered rum served at their caroling parties (no rum required if you don't imbibe):

1 lb. softened butter
1 lb. confectioners sugar
1 lb. brown sugar

Cream above ingredients together then add:

2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. nutmeg
1 qt. softened vanilla ice cream

Mix well.

Use 2 T. for each cup, hot water and 1 jigger rum, sprinkle with fresh grated nutmeg or cinnamon

Enjoy it with Chuckbert's fruitcake! (BTW, how's the fruitcake coming along?)

Keep the remaining mix in the freezer.

YUM, YUM!
