Georg's Rum Balls

Take a bottle of rum. Have a swing.

Take a box of nilla wafers. Run them through the food processor or blender until nothing but crumbs. For the ultimate stress relief though, wrap in a tea towel and thwap the hell out of them with a rolling pin. Or you can con small child to do that. :)

Dump crumbs in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup or so of cocoa powder. Stir. Add about 1/3 cup corn syrup. Then add a generous amount of the rum. I like using the 151. Have another swig. If you like chopped nuts (and I do recommend grinding these in front of a male who has pissed you off), add them now. Stir well until everything clumps well together. Have another swig. You’ve earned it.

Now shape into about 1-inch balls. Roll in confectioner sugar. Store in an airtight container and don’t give to small children unless you want them to sleep well. I like slipping a couple to my little nephews. Take the rest of the rum and enjoy.

This rather schizophrenic blog was started as a fictional blog, written by a character of a story. I've since taken it over for writing personal stuff I don't mind sharing with anyone who cares. I am also writing thoughts about writing and stories that move me.

Other places I go:
Georg's Research
Help local kitties
I have relatives. Be afraid
Blessed is the One True Tami
Tata the Bodacious
Obligatory Yarn Harlot
It is impossible not to love Sandi Wiseheart once you've met her

I like the name Twiggi
Who to blame for my sock addiction
Maybe the cleverest blog title

The other stalkee
I just love Josh (the cat)
Josh the Cat and friends
Pet politics
Pet Care
If I were a sheep, I'd be Delores
I live here now
Not Your Mama's Crafters
Make a Lily Pad

Anything not marked might be just me, Georg, posting as myself.

It's just this blog, okay? Some of it is story. Some of it is animals. Some of it is knitting. It's a blog.

For story #1, I do recommend starting from the beginning of this blog if you haven't read this before. Please start at the beginning.

I did mean it to be for http://www.nanowrimo.org - but I never got quite got it done under the wire.

CAST:
Jeannie is the author/main character.
Frank is her husband. Poor man.
Tony is musician/singer.
Angie is a teenager, who was Jeannie's best friend. Now currently dead.
Honestly, there is no connection between Jeannie and me and Frank and my husband.

Story #2
Frank and Ether. This will be much weirder than Frank and Jeannie. I like the name Frank. No one expects a Frank to lie.

Story #3
A desert story. Anna is the main character. Currently there is only her little brother and an old servant, and a mysterious redhead.

Story #4
The necro story. A young necromancer heads off to the Hated Ones to find her trousseau.

Story X
Reserving this for one-offs, poems, etc.
