Romancing The Chocolate: Cookies: Unusual Tabasco Chocolate Cherry


The Bing cherry owes its development to the Ch...


Romancing The Chocolate: Cookies: Unusual Tabasco Chocolate Cherry: From Denny: Enjoy a little pepper heat with your chocolate? Then these unusual cookies from the Tabasco hot sauce company are for you.

Chocolate and cherries are another winning combination enjoyed during the Valentine's Day celebration or Christmas season. Tabasco just decided to kick it up a notch.

This recipe calls for making huge cookies that are shaped into football ovals and then decorated with icing to resemble the pigskin laces. Instead you can shape them into hearts, piping icing with a heart inside a heart for decoration.

Beautiful Illustrated Quotations: 15 Best Christmas Quotes: Just What Is It About Christmas Time?: From Denny: At this time of the year, in the early winter, there slowly descends and rests upon the land a sense of spiritual calm and Peace.

Be aware not to get too caught up in the shopping sales, rushing about to finish last minute gifts and holiday preparations to miss noticing the biggest Gift. Take the time to absorb this special energy sent from Heaven.

Funny Christmas Quotes, Lots of Holiday Fun













From Denny:  The Social Poets was the flagship blog three years ago.  I started this funny Cheeky Quote Day segment.  It did so well that it spun off two humor blogs, Dennys Funny Quotes and Ouch Outrageous Obnoxious And Odd.  This post was an abbreviated promo for the humorous segment before Blogger developed the easier linking of your posts to other Blogger blogs.

Music: The Christmas Shoes


When you need some inspiration to lift your spirits or soothe your nerves during the holiday rush.



From Denny: This Christmas story is a real tear jerker so pull out the tissues to dab your eyes. It's even more so when you think of friends and family who have passed away from cancer during the holiday season. This story also tells of the strong spirit of giving from a little child that so inspires us all. Sometimes, as an adult we need to be reminded of the simple things and prioritize what truly matters. It's easy to get side-tracked with responsibilities, problems that arise and the hectic schedule of life. A song like this brings us back to the core importance of Life: loving unconditionally. This version is performed by Newsong.

Music: Perfect Love Marys Song


The Passion of the Christ

From Denny:  With the Thanksgiving holiday dominated by ads promoting shopping frenzies like on Black Friday I thought I'd post a contrast to remind us of "the reason for the season" - Jesus Christ. This is one powerful song and well edited video.  It contains clips from the Passion of the Christ movie.  Pull out a box of tissues because you are going to need it.

I'll be posting more Christmas music too so check back.







Music: What Child Is This? By John Michael Talbot



From Denny: John Michael Talbot is a monastic of the Brothers and Sisters Charity. I first heard of him years ago when he had taken a vow of silence for a year but was allowed to perform his music.

His voice has a soothing peaceful quality.  He has certainly studied his share of the world's religions and it is that knowledge and understanding that brings a richness to his music.

From his album, "The Birth Of Jesus" recorded with the National Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra of London, the Ambrosian Men's Choir, and the Junior Boys Choir of Desborough School.
