HOLY CARP!!!

We made a very quick visit to the hometown, to visit parents for Christmas. We stayed overnight at my Mother's house. When we woke up yesterday morning, there were several Christmas gift bags, one for my Mother, one for my family, and one for each of my brothers. Inside were some special home-made gifts. A cousin, who lives and works in the Morgantown WV area, had found her Grandmother's recipe for "gobs" (we've talked about them here before), and she and her sister whipped up a big batch for family & friends. She must have had her friend, who she works with and who still lives in my hometown, deliver them to Mom's front porch very early that morning on her way to work. What a great, unexpected thing to wake up to. ![]() Mmmmm, gobs.....

Those do look good. Reminds me of gingerbread cake with whipped cream. |

Chocolate cake, and a vanilla frosting, not quite as thick as cake frosting but thicker than whipped cream. I'm gonna go have one right now! |

My husband got a beer bottle opener for Christmas that actually says, "Mmmmm, Beeeeer," when you use it. Homer's voice and all. Very, very, cool. |
