  1. Thanks! I enjoyed the memory from seeing your post! Mom had us help make them; we'd stick the holes with an ice pick and then push the cloves in. I think we may have rolled them in cinnamon (not sure?) and we tied them in tulle (like what tutus are made from). 

    It's funny to remember that because I must have been about 5 and was using an ice pick! :-o  lol.  Or maybe she did that part and I stuck the cloves in. Anyway, I'd forgotten all about that and it was nice to remember our holiday crafts! :)

    I'm sure your friend loved them and will enjoy having a wonderful smelling home afterwards!

    I'm making something called a pomander, for a friend that's getting married this weekend. Only I'm using an apple, and covering the whole thing with cloves.

    Oh! My Mom used to make those at Christmastime! :)

  3. Doing another run through The West Wing, following along with Joshua Malina and Hrishikesh Hirway's podcast, "The West Wing Weekly". This is very cool if you haven't heard of it yet; they are working through the entire series, covering an episode each Wednesday; talking with cast and crew. They've just finished the last episode of Season 1.

    Here's a link to the podcast:

    The cast and crew apparently still do appearances together from time to time; they have included some other related stuff on the website.

     

  4. It's definitely such an important piece, and the interviews w/cast and crew were very interesting too (I watched it on Xfinity.com about a  week after it originally aired).  I thought Meyers did a terrific job and Malachi Kirby, the actor who portrayed Kunte Kinte was absolutely amazing.
