On the 23rd day of Christmas

On the 23rd day of Christmas a swapper gave to me....a cute birthday card.Very nice cupcake card.I like how the designer use the top note die on the front, and that is the part that opens up to the inside.

I made rum soaked chocolate covered cherries yesterday. Pretty easy to make.
1 jar maraschino cherries with stems
1 4oz bittersweet baking chocolate bar (I used a dark chocolate bar)
1 tsp shortening
1/2 rum

Drain the cherries but in bowl and cover with 1/2 rum. Cover and refridgeate overnight Chop the chocolate bar. Put the chocolate and shortening in a bowl melt in the microwave. Drain the cherries and pat them dry. Dip the cherries in the chocolate by the stems and put on wax paper to set.

Burbank went out yesterday morning as it had stopped snowing, but he didn't stay out long. He doesn't like the snow at all. This is him banging on the front door to get back in.
