End of 2024 and a Recipe

 

Yeah, I never was one to go out to party for the New Year.  In the younger years I might stay up to see the new year in but now, not so much.  Our traditions are for the 1st day and not so much the night before.  

Thought I would share a few last pictures of light that DD took on the way home from work last night.  We took the long way home past the park and the to the two places that Christmas seemed to have thrown up. 

The park truly looks beautiful although it was more amazing when we had snow in December.  That doesn't really happen anymore.  

Now this one is one that actually makes me a little sad because when we first moved here there were several displays but you could really look at them and space in between, now there is so much stuff you cannot see it all, one thing nearly on top of another.  I know everyone's taste is different but I liked what I saw years ago and not so much now.  

This one on the other hand does the same amount for Easter, Halloween and Christmas and so pretty much use to it - LOL.  For a very tiny yard, they do pack it in and somehow it works. 

Now a recipe that we just love for special times of the year.  Couldn't finish off the year without a recipe share -

Portuguese Cavacas

12 Eggs

2 cups flour

2 cups oil (Unico is recommended)

Icing -

Icing Sugar mixed with milk

Lemon Zest

Preheat oven to 350F.

Beat together with an electric mixer until well blended at least 3 minutes. Fill muffin pan 3/4 full that has been sprayed with pam. Bake for 40 minutes until golden and puffy. NEVER open the oven during baking or the puffs will fall. When cool spread with icing.

And so to all my blogger friends and our family and those that stop by to read what's up in my little corner -
