First of all thanks for sharing your pant hemming stories with me yesterday. It made me feel better. I'm going through a rough patch on the road of life, as we all do at times, and it's so nice to have such supportive friends here. What also made me feel better is that my daughter called me on the way home from work and said she'd worn the pants and they were fine. I thought she wanted to tell me something else as well but she said no she just wanted to let me know the pants were fine. She's such a nice kid sometimes - yes, when you get up here where I am 33 is a kid.Anyway. Today I wanted to share a recipie with you that you can make for an easy gift. Actually you could make a lot of gifts with just one batch. I used to make it all the time but now everyone has the recipie so it's not really a good gift any more *LOL*
FIRESIDE COFFEE
2 cups instant hot chocolate
2 cups dry non-dairy creamer (like Coffee Mate)
1 cup instant coffee
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 - 1 1/2 cups sugar
Blend all but the sugar thoroughly in a blender or food processor.
Add sugar and blend again.
Use 1 heaping Tbsp in 1 mug of hot water.
You could even use some of this in those little bags instead of that cake in a cup. I usually got those little tins at the dollar store to put it in.

That is a good idea Shirley. I am glad your daughter said the pants were fine. Makes you feel better, doesn't it. Guess we all go through those rough patches now and then. I am having one as well so hang in there.
Hi Shirley, I love your comment about calling your daughter a Kid. My In-laws call all of us kids and my hubby their sun is forty - it's a riot. We are still kids to them and will always be. Plain and simple.
Love your blog - so homey when I come here and down to earth.
thanks

Sounds yummy - I'll have to give it a try! Thanks for sharing.
I will definitly try the coffee. Sounds wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Shirley you just crack me up! I read your post about hemming the pants and cutting it off wrong. I thought....we must be sisters somehow. My Daddy always asked me, "Now did you double check that?" Of course, he was always right and my measuring was always wrong!! But your daughter liked them so all is well. I love that coffee recipe, I make it and give to people that I need just one more little something for, they always ask for more!! Hey, I have changed my sewing blog name so what you have bookmarked for me is wrong.

Hang in there, Shirley. I think a lot of us are right there with you. We should form a club. Take care. Lane
