Winkleson out of Alberta Canada sends his regaurds with “Bone-Apart”. Who, looks like he may have had a few too many at the party.

Great job, Winkleson!
It’s great to see Bob inspiring others. If you have a friend of Bob you want shown on here, please send me an email, and we’ll add it to the list.
I’ve been watching for Repo: The Genetic Opera to come into theaters here since I heard about it years ago.
I had checked earlier in the year, and saw no mention of a DVD, and more theater opening schedules up with nothing new in Utah to report.
So, whilst at the video rental store last weekend, I was shocked when I saw Repo on the shelves, and immediately grabbed it.
I watched it 5 times during the rental period, and was very reluctant to take it back. It IS a Rock Opera. Emphasis on the opera. As such, it’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. However, you owe it to yourselve to at least give it a view once, as it is the most unique thing I’ve seen out of Hollywood in years. Perhaps ever.
Those of you who were with us through the Christmas conversion last year, know that the Christmas Kitchen Calamity is soon on it’s way. Last year, in place of some of the cookies, we tried our hand at some candies for the first time with some English toffee and peanut brittle. With some mixed results.
But, it was a lot of fun, and I’ve decided I want to try a couple new recipe’s from the treasure trove again this year. The finalists up for consideration are:
English Toffee: Yes, I tried it last year. I never got it RIGHT, though, and there’s 3 OTHER recipes for it as well. One markedly different…
Ginger Bread: Come on, nothing says the holidays like ginger bread, right?
Taffy: I have a homemade taffy recipe here! Oh, how I love Taffy…But, I’m tempted to just buy me some Softi Kaubonbons instead.
Fudge: Memories of making fudge a few times as a child. I have easily a half-dozen recipes in the trove. Or, I could ask mom for hers…
Spudnuts: HOMEMADE SPUDNUTS!!!! I drool just thinking about it.
“Vanilla Pretzels”: This thing reads a lot like German Stollen recipes. mmmmm….stollen….
“Soft Cookies”: Odd recipe from Evelyn…whose recipes I’ve come to love. Sour cream, and NO instructions…can I revive this recipe?
And, on the not so sweet side:
“Best Hamburgers in the World”: A singularly peculiar hamburger recipe that has change my mind on how to make burgers, and I haven’t even attempted it yet. Is this the year to put it all together?
“Sausage Creole”: I’m a sucker for Creole cooking, plain and simple. A joy to find this thing.
So, Christmas countdown has begun. And, first order of business is assessing the situation.
So. Lights for the roof are toast. Zero is in need of some cosmetic repair. And Jack…
Well, Jack had issues last year to begin with.
And, the last minute repairs to Jack after he fell and broke last year were tempermental at best. The hands did not hold up as well as hoped, and the head is still showing some signs of wear.
In addition, his annual storage fiascos have left him minus legs and arms needing another repair job.
I’m considering scrapping Jack all together after this year, as he’s just too difficult to store with our current storage situation. Besides, a host of Gremlins in the yard sounds like a lot of fun…
But, for now. On with the repairs…
