Hello! Are you allowing yourself to enjoy some CIJ pleasure today?
The announcer for the 12:00 hour on QVC.... welcomed viewers to his CIJ program..... by sayng "Come and take a break from the miserable summer weather... by thinking about a more festive time of year... a cooler time of year"! Beautiful sentiment!
Unfortunately.... this announcer's voice was loud and grating... a real "hard sell" type of guy! I am just checking on QVC.... occasionally now. I do enjoy the "Christmas With Valerie" programs. And the "Bethlehem Lights" programs are beautiful. And...... occasionally.... I enjoy looking at an individual Christmas item.
And.... a batch of hot chocolate was mixed up.. It was intriguing. The base was sweetened condensed milk, good quality cocoa powder, peppermint extract and chocolate mint candy (it looked like those Andes-brand thin mints". After they are blended... water is added.... and the stirring and heating continues. I WOULD like to try that!!!!
There WAS an intriguing double-order..... two new Gooseberry Patch Christmassy cookbooks for aboutr $28 (including shipping). I know that there are many fans of Gooseberry Patch on this board.
