Maybe I should tell you what is going on here? </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">See, my husband loves Pink Floyd, and their original line up included a fella named Syd Barrett. Syd had great talent and creativity, but he also had mental health problems, which eventually led to him leaving the band. He has, to this day, left an indelible mark on the other members of Pink Floyd, as well as their fans. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The band wrote a song inspired by Syd, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shine_On_You_Crazy_Diamond" target="_blank">Shine On You Crazy Diamond</a>. My design, a diamond incorporating a very stylized song title also included the name, SYD. I don't know if it occurred to the band but I'm staking my claim that "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", broken down to it's major theme "<u>S</u>hine <u>Y</u>ou <u>D</u>iamond", (because he was a diamond before he spiraled) spells SYD, which you can see I have spelled out on the face of the diamond. I wanted this shirt to celebrate not only the song, but also Syd Barrett, and of course, Pink Floyd. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Whew. that's a lot of thinking for a t-shirt design....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Now, most of the modern world knows this album cover for Pink Floyd's album, Dark Side of the Moon: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjXy7ZWtYanr1LxA4_Tcx__coYzu7dufChegDe5w7iWQqHSsWc6VxlTZ0QGRg6wTswmEoR-vQr9h42f_fYTloktmfKKwBWQEWBzWuqNX7o-zCisn20JPO3YqKlEr0QtjtkAbhFD6wHUG6DwOAxmdl9ooCyvjn4UJeYLkAm4rHTTzQLNP-sGKxSjKIK4Fw=s1200" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="1200" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjXy7ZWtYanr1LxA4_Tcx__coYzu7dufChegDe5w7iWQqHSsWc6VxlTZ0QGRg6wTswmEoR-vQr9h42f_fYTloktmfKKwBWQEWBzWuqNX7o-zCisn20JPO3YqKlEr0QtjtkAbhFD6wHUG6DwOAxmdl9ooCyvjn4UJeYLkAm4rHTTzQLNP-sGKxSjKIK4Fw=w640-h360" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div>I wanted to incorporate this prism design into my diamond.

This was influenced by a co-worker of mine, and then our other co-worker joined the fun as well. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The game is very simple, which is probably why it became a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/06/business/everyones-lockdown-obsession-with-animal-crossing-lifts-nintendos-profits-to-1-billion.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">national obsession</span></a> this year; that and the Covid lockdown with lots of time on everyone's hands. The game is so easy to play that your <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=didkW-LOWCs" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">grandma</span></a> could do it. Basically, you move onto an Island of your choosing, build your house floor by floor, and fill the island with flowers and trees and residents and homes, and a museum, general store, etc. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">So, for Christmas, it was only fitting to gift my fellow obsessives with AC (Animal Crossing) themed gifts. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzCslZZ5dPewyMDcN8I7EPHjZNE52ltFW1dcDyPawVDhQm8rbDuISDw8dR7n_v6l44iELii9fhXcnkh0fiNb0u22C8XD1t56kCi1mGqslDCn_bVDm8gfHTWz0eN6cV3WQwLOUtipEEF-E/s4032/PXL_20201217_211351834.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzCslZZ5dPewyMDcN8I7EPHjZNE52ltFW1dcDyPawVDhQm8rbDuISDw8dR7n_v6l44iELii9fhXcnkh0fiNb0u22C8XD1t56kCi1mGqslDCn_bVDm8gfHTWz0eN6cV3WQwLOUtipEEF-E/w640-h480/PXL_20201217_211351834.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;">As long as I can remember, my mother has given my siblings and me little Whitman's Samplers for just about every holiday.

A Poor Name for a Tasty Treat.<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This weekend we made some clotted cream. Don't be fooled by that unfortunate--yet technically fitting--name. It's amazing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I thought the <a href="https://foobella.blogspot.com/2019/08/the-easiest-no-knead-dutch-oven-bread.html" target="_blank">No-Knead Dutch Oven Bread</a> was easy to make, but I don't think anything could be simpler and more satisfying than making clotted cream. See my comments after the recipe.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We watched a few videos about making clotted cream, and they strongly suggested using cream that is NOT ultra-pasteurized. Apparently, it's not supposed to clot as well as the heavy cream made from</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> <span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">grass-fed cows, and having a fat content of between 36-40%.</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Well, that's not to be found at most local grocery stores, so we just bought what was available to us, which is ultra-pasteurized. When it first came out of the oven after 12 hours, the top layer of the cream looked like a very thin golden gooey cheese, but it was still very liquid underneath. We put it in the fridge and decided to go to Earth Fare to get some of the fancier cream because we were so sure ours would not clot. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While the fancy heavy cream went in the oven, we took the ULTRA pasteurized cream out of the fridge and to our surprise, it was very nicely clotted! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, now we have two batches of clotted cream, and this morning Jason made some blueberry scones with clotted cream.</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Even though the clotted cream made from the Earth fare heavy cream looked slightly better than the ultra-pasteurized heavy cream, they both pretty much tasted the same to me. I don't know why I was expecting it to have a sweet taste, but in all honesty, clotted cream tastes like unsalted butter, with a slightly nutty flavor and a silky smooth texture. It spreads wonderfully on the warm from the oven scones, and with the addition of some blueberry preserves...heavenly. </span><br />

<li style="margin-left: 15px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">After proofing, scrape the dough from the bowl onto a liberally floured work surface and sprinkle a little more flour over the dough.</span></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">Using just enough flour to keep dough from sticking to work surface or to your fingers, gently and quickly shape dough into a ball.

<li style="margin-left: 15px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">Once oven is preheated, carefully remove the pot from the oven. Remove the lid and turn your dough out into the pot. (Don't worry about the shape, it will be fine). For easier handling of the dough, after proofing you can place the dough on top of floured parchment paper and lift the parchment paper into the baking vessel. </span></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">Replace the lid and bake for 30 minutes with the lid on.</span></li>

I am thrilled with these garden urns that JC designed and printed. We were sitting around brainstorming accessories that he could print for our <a href="https://foobella.blogspot.com/search?q=dickens+christmas+village" target="_blank">Dickens Christmas Village</a> one day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Halloween, though one of my favorite holidays, is always a bust in our neighborhood. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No trick or treaters ever, even though I dress up my porch every year, and play scary music.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone seems to be doing Trunk or Treat instead.<br />
<br />
That's no fun.<br />
<br />
When I was a kid I loved nothing more than walking down the dark and spooky streets running from house to house being scared out of my mind. I remember there was a house down the street that scared me and thrilled me at the same time. All they had was scary music playing. I don't even think the homeowner showed their face when they handed out the candy. That's it! But I loved it so much! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that I think about it, how was it that I was such a brave kid on halloween night, but I couldn't even walk down the hallway in my house without all the lights on? ha.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh well, I still enjoy spookifying my house, even if it ends up just being for JC and me. </div>

I wonder if we'll ever have too many holiday inflatables? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We just picked up this spider from Aldi last week. I love <a href="https://www.aldi.us/" target="_blank">Aldi</a>.</div>

These are my favorite inflatables. Three pooches who are out trick or treating. Along with my ghosts and pumpkins handmade by myself and my Dad. I blogged about them last year. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sadly, just yesterday, the fan failed on the pooches. JC researched new fans online, and found them to be in the $35 range, but then someone commented that for much less than that you could buy some other inflatable that you don't like and take the fan out of that! Aldi, here we come to pick up another $9.99 inflatable to sacrifice for my pooches. </div>

Today was a beautiful morning at <a href="http://www.history.org/" target="_blank">Colonial Williamsburg</a>.<br />
The light was amazing, and I felt like I was in a fairytale.<br />
Does anyone else ever feel like they can't handle all the beauty?<br />
I don't know how to explain it. It was so pretty that it hurt.</div>

JC has been getting into the season of Halloween. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's dusted off the 3D printer and given me a lot of work to do painting things. </div>

Below is a skull JC printed last year, which I just got around to painting. I did it in phases, and I just told him with this last shot, that this skull is getting scarier and scarier. I think that means I'm done with him. Pretty soon I won't be able to be in the same room with it.</div>

Today I was watching this cute little <a href="http://www.netflix.com/" target="_blank">Netflix</a> original movie, '<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Like_Father" target="_blank">Like Father</a>' with <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001288/" target="_blank">Kelsey Grammer</a> and <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0068338/" target="_blank">Kristen Bell</a>, and during the last scene of the movie, this familiar intro starts to play. I think, ah, '<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_It_for_Later" target="_blank">Save it for Later</a>' by <a href="http://englishbeat.net/" target="_blank">The Beat</a> (or rather The English Beat in the U.S.A.), and when the singer comes in....wait! That's not the original version. That's <span id="goog_1564005083"></span>Pete Townshend<span id="goog_1564005084"></span> singing! Hmmm! I've never heard this cover, and I <i>love</i> <a href="https://petetownshend.net/" target="_blank">Pete Townshend</a>. How did I miss this back then?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, I break out the ipad and google "Pete Townshend Save it for Later" and see that he recorded it in 1986, and said it was one of his favorite songs. So, I look it up on YouTube and give it a listen.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NSWdug1HiCg?rel=0" width="560"></iframe><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gorgeous cover of a great song. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So then, I'm sending the video to my husband and telling him about how I heard it in the movie, yadda yadda. Then, I tell him that in the comments of the above video someone mentions how Townshend called up <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Wakeling" target="_blank">Dave Wakeling</a> back in the 80s, and told him he (Townshend) and <a href="http://www.davidgilmour.com/" target="_blank">David Gilmour</a> (one of my husband's favorite artists) were trying to figure out the chords to '<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_It_for_Later" target="_blank">Save It For Later</a>'.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not five minutes later, my husband sends me this video, where Dave Wakeling recounts the exact event mentioned above...</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cTHbUstBHp8?rel=0" width="560"></iframe><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
...which leads me to this video of Pete Townshend's live performance of the cover, which Dave Wakeling mentions in the video above...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pQ0zMDJKkbg?rel=0" width="560"></iframe><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And just to circle back to the beginning, and because we need more good music, here is the original "Save it For Later" video from <a href="http://englishbeat.net/" target="_blank">The Beat</a>. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was a child of the 80's and I always talk about how happy I am that I never grew up with the internet or social media. Being a teen was hard enough without it. But what I would give to have had google and YouTube when it comes to music. One of our favorite things to do is sit around and queue up videos on YouTube and play video DJ. We get lost in all the nostalgia of the music we grew up with, and discovering new/old music we missed, just like the above chain of events. <i>This</i> is when I love the internet.</div>

Here is a vintage postcard from a collection my Mother-in-Law gave to me. She used to own an antiques shop, so I am not sure if that is where she received them or not, but most of them are addressed to residents of Newport News, Virginia, where I grew up, and they are from the early 1900's. </div>

Yes. You read the title correctly. Following are pictures of our Christmas <i>last</i> year, 2016, even though today is the last day of 2017. You see, I failed to post them last year, but after all that time spent taking the pictures and editing them, I didn't want them to go unseen. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you know me, you know I love Christmas. So does my husband. One reason I knew he was the man for me was our first year together; the look on his face when I set up my Dickens Christmas village. He loved it, and every year since then we have added to it. </div>

I've been moving things around and creating a painting/crafting nook for myself. I just painted a whole bunch of things yesterday and wanted to share one today.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yesterday, every time I finished painting something, I would send a picture to Jason. He wrote back, "Good job. Now do the Millennium Falcon." and then I would send another picture, and the same thing, "Cool! Do the Millennium Falcon. NOW." ha. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All right. All right! ha. </div>
<div>
<br />
Here it is before painting↓</div>

The person who created this 3D design took artistic license with the Millennium Falcon, so I had to also in the painting details.<br />
