Holiday Fun With Our Bloggy Friends Roundup + Giveaway

Messy Messy Fail - I've been watching Big Love season 2 for a few weeks now, borrowed from the library.  DVD's are only rented out one week at a time, even if it is 4 disks of 3 episodes, 1 hour each.  That's 12 hours of episodes - who can watch all that in one week?  Well, on my third week of renewing online, I was rejected.  With my tail between my legs, I returned the DVD's to the library.  Luckily, the librarian on duty was one of my former students and allowed me borrow it for another week.  I'm furiously trying to watch an episode every night so I can have it finished by Wednesday.   

Tidy Victory - I've got 1 1/2 bushels of freshly picked apples to use up so I made Ina Garten's applesauce which I posted about here last year.  This is the most delicious homemade applesauce recipe EVER!  I like to make two batches of it to store in mason jars and freeze or use throughout the winter.  Minimal sugar (1/2 cup of brown sugar) and it is SPECTACULAR!

And now for a special treat........
