The scale vs. me

Hello Scale –

Will we be friends after the holidays?  Hmmm…Let’s see I’ve haven’t been running, walking or even wearing my pedometer.  I’ve been eating whatever I want ~ whenever I want including cookies and coffee for breakfast.   I’ve been drinking many delicious things including my new favorite Angry Orchard Hard Cider – Crisp Apple.  I did make some lovely homemade Chicken noodle soup and veggie quesadillas yesterday but somehow I don’t think that will counteract all the goodies I have enjoyed over the last couple of weeks.  So scale – you and I will meet on the January 2^nd.  Be ready!

Hot Buttered Rum

Hot Buttered Rum Recipe

One of the reasons I run.  This is an ridiculously easy and a delicious winter treat that my husband and I love.

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup butter

2 cups vanilla ice cream

rum

water

nutmeg

1. Combine sugar, brown sugar and butter in a 2-quart saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted (6-8 min).

2. Combine cooked mixture with ice cream in a large mixing bowl, and beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often until smooth (1-2 min).  (I just add the ice cream to the warm mixture and stir.)  Store refrigerated up to 2 weeks or frozen up to one month.

3. For each serving, fill one-quarter of a mug with mixture, add one-ounce rum and three-quarters of a cup of boiling water. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
