Some Holiday Yum and a Christmas Laugh from More Cowbell

Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate it. I’ll be back here, ringing my Cowbell on Thoughty Thursday. Baby Girl is home all week so it’s gonna be wild at Chez Hansen.

In the meantime, here are two links and a video that made me smile.

Christmas Wishes for Our Readers at Writers In The Storm (there’s a pic of pregnant Jenny!)

Jess Witkins has added two STELLAR recipes to the Holiday Yum Blog Hop: Pumpkin-Curry Chicken and Blue Cheese Bread. Jess works in retail and she still found time to jump on this Blog Hop…I’m so impressed.
