More Cookie Baking Music
Today’s baking includes oatmeal raisin cookies, Russian tea cakes and this song. I’ll be attempting chocolate truffles next week. Does anyone have any tips?
Gotta keep moving!

Aw Geez pandora, I’m kinda listening to Darlene Love and thinking about Phil Spector right now.
chocolate truffles – LOL…my advice
BUY THEM – then leave baking chocolate on the stove in a double boiler to smell up the house…….
that would be me…
Love this song!
Chocolate truffles are fun. You need to follow your recipe *with precision* tho. Make sure to choose extraordinary chocolate to start with and make sure that chocolate is chopped up *small*, evenly sized pieces. It will melt faster and in a more controlled manner — whether you melt the chocolate in the double boiler or just melt using the warmed cream method.
Are you coating with cocoa or a chocolate couverture?
A classic French carol by Siouxsie and the Banshees. I can’t tell if the audio is out of synch, or if they are just laggy from the Quaaludes. Seriously though, the music is good.
Here is a version with better audio but worse video.
I got me some of those newfangled white LED micro-lights. Since I always overdo everything for Christmas I bought ten strings of 100 – a thousand points of light. I put them all on the tree and turned it on. My wife and I reached for the sunglasses and sunscreen. Eyeballs hurt. Wife made me redo it with only 600 lights.
Now I need to repack 4 strings of light into the original boxes. Need small Asian child.
Thanks anon, for the Siouxsie and the Banshees song — that was seriously good. Do you know if that is available anywhere?
I looked it up once and it is on one of their albums. Can’t remember which one now; I never bought it. Probably you can get the song from Amazon for 99 cents.
Christmas tree trimming goes well with Tawny Port.

If you ever get a chance to see the Christmas Revels from anon’s link above, you should do yourself a favor. This is one of the most fun Christmas shows on the planet. They have companies all over the US — I saw them in Cambridge and in DC…..
I am a huge Revels fan. There used to be a Philly Revels but it no longer exists. I emailed the director, wanting to help, but never heard back. They just disappeared. It was a wide-spread troupe, and it is a huge loss to the local arts scene.
The high point of the Philly Revels was a show in an old theater in downtown Media PA. Then the dot com crash took hold and I guess the patrons disappeared. The show began shrinking, and the last show I went to was at an auditorium in Haverford College. It was still an awesome show, with the primal and eerie Revels version of the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance, with antlered dancers in a dimly lit procession, and culminating with the company pulling people out of their seats to dance with them to “Lord Of The Dance.”
Plus a well done skit of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, with a seven-foot tall Green Knight that still creeps out my son to this day.
