The Progeny
Ma's Newsy (Iowa) Nuggets, and More
Before we start, kudos to el husbando for fixing my monitor! Sure, it was just a matter of pushing some buttons, but hey...I didn't know how to do it, and now I don't get seasick looking at el screeno.
It's an all-Iowa newsness, this mornin', because we can.
First off, did you know the turkey getting pardoned this year at the White House comes from the li'l ol' Hawkeye state? (Hmmmm....just discovered I've been spelling 'li'l' wrong, all these years. Can't understand why no one brought that to my attention...)
But back to that 45 pound bird, congratulations to Paul and Mary Hill, of Ellsworth. Besides, a bird that size wouldn't fit in one of those oven bags, anyway.

U of I Hospitals performed the first hybrid heart surgery on a baby in Iowa. You can read about it, here.
Our family knows, from experience, there are goodsome cardiac people in Iowa City.

And then there's this: Iowa Boy Scouts have made the top 10 inspiring stories on Beliefnet.com. Check out the site to read/listen about these troopers, as well as the other nominees.
You can vote for whomever you think the most inspiring, up through December 5. Winner to be announced, Dec. 10.

Now for the "more." Ma, being so terribly domestic and all, will now share a recipe!
I got it several years ago from Loren's sister, Nelda. It's a tasty coffee mix, suitable for slurping at home or giving as gifts to people in need of caffeine.
The recipe actually calls for decaf coffee, but I used regular. I've already had two cups this morning and boy, am I feelin' perky!
There's an added bonus of cocoa in the mix, so I'm hoping to get my chocolate fix without eating so many Dove's. Hey...it almost 9 and I haven't even had ONE, yet :-)
Have a MA-valous day.

Coffee Mix
3 c. creamer
3 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. instant coffee (decaf--so...d'you know decaf STILL has some "caf" in it?)
1 1/2 c. cocoa powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
Mix well. Add a rounded coffee-measure (2 T. & 1 t.) to a mug of hot water.
*above amount fills nicely 2 13-oz coffee cans
Have a MA-valous day.

That mix is barely 15% coffee!
I'm sure it's delicious though... can't remember if you ever let us have any of it, when there was some in the house earlier.
15% huh....that sounds about right :-)
I may have let you have a taste, I don't remember. Probably not too much though, since I didn't want to stunt anyone's growth.
More.
