Recipes
Date-Nut Bread
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup raisins
1 1/2 cups boiling water
2 teaspoons butter, or as needed
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped pitted dates
7 pitted prunes, chopped
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
You could make this on
National Date Nut Bread Day
December 22 nd !
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, well-beaten
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
Source: allrecipes.com
DIRECTIONS:
Put raisins in a bowl. Pour boiling water over raisins; soak until raisins have flavored
the water, about 20 minutes. Drain raisins, reserving the water. Discard raisins.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan with butter.
Bring reserved water to a boil in a small saucepan. Measure 3/4 cup boiling water into a bowl. Stir baking soda into
water. Put dates and prunes in a large bowl. Pour baking powder-water over dates and prunes; add unsalted butter
and stir until melted. Stir sugar and vanilla extract into the fruit mixture; let cool to room temperature.
Stir egg into the fruit mixture to evenly coat. Mix flour and salt together in a small bowl; add to fruit mixture and
stir. Fold walnuts into the mixture and pour into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 65 minutes. Cool in the
pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
Eggnog Pie
INGREDIENTS:
1 (.25 ounce) package unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
1 cup milk
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
You could make this on
National Eggnog Day Decedmber 24 th !
1/4 cup rum
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 pinch white sugar
1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked or
graham cracker pie crust
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Source: allrecipes.com
DIRECTIONS:
In a small bowl, combine gelatin and cold water; set aside to soften. Combine
milk and 1/2 cup sugar in a small glass bowl. Microwave for 3 minutes or until
milk begins to boil.
In a steady stream, pour hot milk into beaten eggs, whisking constantly. Cook custard in the microwave, whisking
after each minute, until it thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in softened gelatin and mix until melted. Stir in rum.
Let filling cool to room temperature. (If you refrigerate it, stir occasionally to prevent gelatin from setting too soon.)
In a medium bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form; beat in 1/4 cup sugar. Set aside 1/2 cup of whipped cream
for garnish; keep refrigerated. Fold remaining whipped cream into eggnog mixture. Pour filling into pie crust and
refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Garnish with reserved whipped cream and a dusting of nutmeg.

GARDENING TIPS FOR DECEMBER
• If a long flowering period is desired, pansies should be placed in
their permanent beds not later than this month. Fertilize monthly
with manure, super-phosphate or a liquid high-phosphate product.
Keep flowers picked for more bloom.
• Take tulips out of cold storage and plant late this month.
• Fertilize established trees, spring-blooming shrubs, spurias and
sweet peas (after they are a foot tall) with a fertilizer such as 13-13-
13; Louisiana iris with cotton seed meal and manure.

PARENTS’ PLAN FOR STRESS-FREE HOLIDAYS
Now is the time to begin your plan to have a peaceful holiday season
this year. You can’t change the fact that children and parents will have
spells of anxiety, fatigue, irritability, depression, conflict, worry, nagging
and overindulgence during the holiday weeks. But you can do a lot
to minimize them and you can begin today. Here are just a few ideas:
Buy an inexpensive, small notebook - not too small but you want to
be able to keep it with you conveniently. This is your holiday planning
book. Record notes to yourself, things to do, gift ideas and final lists,
Christmas card lists, decorating ideas, recipes, grocery shopping lists,
party planning lists, store phone numbers, babysitters’ phone numbers.
Any information that will help you get your holiday chores done
should be in that book so that you can refer to it any time you have
a chance (while waiting to pick up your child, in the doctor’s waiting
room, on your coffee break, in your bed at night).
Strategize with your spouse. Discuss what makes you happy during
the holidays and really listen to what your spouse says makes him/her
happy during the holidays. Prioritize your families’ Holiday activities
based on this discussion. If you both love going to Holiday parties, then
by all means go! If both of you dislike those parties but have always
gone because you felt you had to, then don’t be afraid to turn down
some invitations. Instead, you could have a dress up evening for your
family to go out to dinner at a really special restaurant then go to a
play or musical performance. You won’t feel guilty about refusing an
adult party invitation if you have plans for a special evening out with
your entire family. Everyone dress in their nicest clothes. It’s your only
hope for having your children on their best behavior so that you can
really enjoy the evening.
Get a nice calendar to schedule Holiday commitments and events
you would like to attend if you can. Involve the whole family in planning
these activities based on the one-to-one decisions you and your
spouse made previously.
Shop online or from catalogs. You will find the most unique gifts this
way and you can also get some deals this time of year that take off the
shipping charge or give you bonus merchandise. It really is much less
stressful to shop from your living room than to exhaust yourself at the
mall during the Christmas season. Do your mall shopping early, to get
a relaxed view of all the new merchandise. I like to go to the mall right
before rush hour on weekdays. Very few people are shopping and you
get such a warm, fuzzy feeling knowing that you are not out there in
all that rush-hour traffic.
Schedule some activities to nourish your spirit. Church services,
musical performances and plays are a few that come to mind that
will leave you feeling refreshed and rested rather than frazzled and
exhausted. Your children might rather go to the latest blockbuster at
the mall than to an afternoon choral concert but you know that the
concert will nourish their spirit and help them relax much more than
the movie will.
