For those of you who might have missed Sarah's recipe (via glen Beck) for Milky Way Cake, here it is:

Cut 6 regular size Milky Way candy bars into 1" pieces.  Melt in the microwave with one stick of unsalted butter, stirring occasionally. Mix well.  Prepare a yellow cake mix per directions on the box, then stir in the candy mixture.  Bake in a bundt pan as directed. 

Note:  Someone suggested using a chocolate cake and icing it with:  Two melted Milky Way bars mixed with a bit of milk to spreading consistency.~~the sixties recipe~~

THE LEGEND OF THE PINE TREE

Image via Wikipedia

In an effort to bolster my own (somewhat thin this year) Christmas spirit and expand it throughout the year I send you The Legend of the Pine Tree:

"When the little Christ was born in Bethlehem, not only the wise men came to offer gifts - the birds, beasts and plants came, too, each one had something to offer the little Jesus, excepting the pine tree.  It had nothing to offer except its needles, and they would only prick the baby, and were not at all suitable.  But God saw how disappointed the little tree was, and told some of the stars to go down and rest on its branches.

When they did, the little tree was covered with such radiance that when the Child saw it, he stretched out his arms toward it in happiness.

From that time forth, at Christmas time, the little pine tree always bears lights which we place there in memory of the night it gave pleasure to the Christ Child."
