What's in Your Library Bag Wednesday?

    Welcome to the Wednesday before Christmas! Are there any of you who are all done with your shopping, cleaning, wrapping, etc. and are able to sit down and enjoy a good book? I, for one, am not. I do, however, manage a few pages before I fall asleep each night! Pathetic, I know.
     I was thinking of asking you what your favorite book from 2011 was, but then I wasn't sure I could name just one for myself. I loved the Hunger Games series, Divergent, Anita Blake, series, Shiver, Linger and Forever....I don't think I read or started to read as the case may be, too many that aren't worth mentioning....I can't remember all of them though...Maybe I should keep an ongoing list to look back on like Janette does?...Something to think about for a New Year's Resolution....
    So, if you've got a favorite book for 2011 please share!! Leave a comment and let us all know what we should be reading in 2012...

Otherwise...
What's your favorite Christmas Carol? Again, I can't name just one. Mine include:

1. We Three Kings of Orient are
2. Mr. Heatmiser by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
3. Jeannette Isabelle by Manheim Steamroller
4. The First Noel
5. Away in a Manger
6. Jingle Bells
7. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

'Tis the season for Holiday stories....Here's a new one that looks good...

From Our Recipe Box to Yours...

I recently asked my coworkers what their favorite Christmas candy was. I got all kinds of answers from fudge to candy canes to nut clusters and pecan tassies. But, the one candy that got more than one vote was Sarah's peanut butter balls!! She has a baking thing going here and probably doesn't even know it!!!

So here you go...

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS


1/4 to 1/2 lb. melted butter (if the batter doesn't seem moist enough, add more butter!)
2 C. peanut butter
1 lb. powdered sugar
3 1/2 C. Rice Krispies, measure than crush


Melt 1/2 to 3/4 bar paraffin wax with 12 oz. chocolate chips in a double boiler. Shape and dip peanut butter balls  in chocolate. Cool on wax paper.


REMEMBER: We are closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Closing at 5:00 p.m. on New Year's Eve and Closed on New Year's Day!!! Enjoy the Holidays with your family!!
