Made this back in Aug. for the holidays. Turned out very good. Cherries, sugar, whiskey, cinnamon stick, 2 whole cloves. Let sit 3-6 months. I would have used a whole fifth of whiskey if I had known how good it was going to be. Mixing with ginger ale tonight. Also good in cocktails and desserts.

Season 3, ep. 10. Aired Dec. 23, 1976. Playing now on Antenna-TV. Very funny Christmas episode with the father who can't get the toy to go together.
Found online. 1lb. breakfast sausage. 1 cup cheddar. 8oz. cream cheese, softened. 1 can Rotel, drained. 1 1/2 cups baking mix. 1tsp. garlic powder, 1/2tsp. smoked paprika, 1/2tsp. black pepper. 375 oven, 18-22 min. Using Red Lobster biscuit mix for the first time.
Cream cheese was too soft. Left it sitting on the stove, so they were wet when I rolled them, but they firmed up again in the fridge.
Picking out a Christmas tree. "The tree in the Ginty house sure is pretty this year. It's got lots of tinsel on it." Season 2, ep. 13. "You Better Watch Out." Steve and Marcy get fruit cake.
Directed by John McTiernan. Blu-ray coming up next. Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman, William Atherton, Reginald VelJohnson, Paul Gleason.

For Christmas. Vanilla ice cream, softened. One can fruit pie filling. Mix together and pour into graham cracker crust. Back in the freezer to refreeze.
The leftover holiday ham bone makes all the difference in good red or white beans. Big ham bone with lots of ham I cut off so a double batch of beans. 2 lbs. of red beans.
