All together on Christmas Day: the Royal Family attended services at St.Mary Magdalene Church at the Queen’s Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. Front and center in the ever-growing crowd was Meghan Markle, the first royal fiancée to be invited to join the celebrations. The Duchess of Cambridge has fully recovered from her morning sickness, and her baby bump was clearly visible beneath her smart tartan coat. The 91-year-old Queen dazzled in her eye-catching orange outfit as she and sprightly 96-year-old Prince Philip led the procession out of the church. They were all greeted warmly by a large gathering of onlookers.

Mmmm
I looked at sex toys online, trying to pick one for my xmas
7:01 PM Phil
[photo of his grill with meat cooking and his cock in the foreground]
Love to help you with that and try them out
7:01 PM Sassy
Always good to see your meat.
7:01 PM Phil
Ha!
7:06 PM Phil
Just for you
You talking about the lamb chops?
Both meats are juicy
7:11 PM Sassy
I like sauce on yours the best
7:28 PM Phil
I like your sauce on mine
What sex toys are you looking at?
7:33 PM Sassy
The Lelo Sona cruise
And the We-vibe wish
Clit fun
I was wondering about a toy for a man…a penis ring vibe or a vulva simulator
7:43 PM Phil
Gets great reviews!  
Cock ring would be fun but if you use any toy with a guy, it’s gonna be amazing for him
I’m guessing those sonic waves would feel good on a cock too
7:44 PM Sassy
I just looked at my collection and they’re mostly very female centered.  Sad.
You changed the chat colors.
7:46 PM Phil
Let the guy watch and it will be very male centered. You naturally have all the toys a man needs – great tits, tight wet pussy, hands and fingers, talented mouth and perhaps a tight ass. The guy’s gonna be very satisfied
And a very sexy attitude, which is so hot
8:14 PM Sassy
My my…you are giving me a big jolt of confidence!   Thanks!
8:18 PM Phil
And you aren’t afraid to flash your tits in an airport stairwell ;-P
8:18 PM Sassy
Ha!  Only for a very special man.  
I may get to see two men this week.  After nothing for 6 weeks…rains…pours…ya ya
Have you been to Qatar?
8:29 PM Phil
Yup. 
2 men? Wow, have fun!
8:33 PM Sassy
The Northerner is up for Friday. 
And I’ve been talking to a Brit since May who works in Qatar, he’s in town thru Wed night, so may see him.  He chickened out in June when he was last here, so we’ll see if he follows through this time!
8:41 PM Phil
Ah, damn Brits, you seem to enjoy the Northerner
9:20 PM Sassy
He is very sweet
9:31 PM Phil
That’s a good thing ; ) 
9:32 PM Sassy
I’m heading back to bed.  Wish you could tuck me in.
9:34 PM Phil
I’d like that. Sweet dreams xxoo
9:35 PM Sassy
Mwah!

Holday Cookie Exchange – MONSTER BALLS

Dear Readers,
It’s time to share recipes for holiday treats!  Yum.  A gaggle of sexy bloggers are kicking off the holiday season in style with the 8th annual recipe exchange!  Jz from A Reluctant Bitch encouraged us to post a favorite holiday treat recipe today.  Bless her heart and many thanks for pulling this together! So you can see holiday treats all over this part of the blogosphere!  And drool over something other than my cleavage today!  The recipe I picked is below, and then further down are the links to the other blogs sharing their tasty treats!  
I adore cookies!  Cookie Monster is my favorite Sesame Street muppet.  Om nom nom.  I am not much of a baker these days, but I used to help my mom make hundreds of cookies for church events – from lebkuchen (that had to be started a month ahead of time), to sugar cookies, currant bars, icebox cookies, shortbreads, thumbprints with raspberry jam, molasses cookies, spritz, ginger bread men, and something she called “snowballs.”  See my cookie post from 2012 about those!  Ever since I’ve been hooked on eating balls of all kinds!  
In 2013, I shared Noreen’s easy recipe for Oreo Cookie Balls.  There was even a video to make prep extra easy!

The 2014 entry was an amazing recipe for toffee cookie balls from Snackworks!  With only four ingredients!  And three steps!  And NO BAKING!  I could do that!  More balls made of cookies! With chocolate and toffee!  

For 2015, I shared something a little more exotic – doggy style cookies.  They still had balls on them!
The 2016 post was an easy no-bake recipe with caramel, chocolate and nuts that turn into TURTLE BALLS!

Last year, I shared an easy no-bake recipe with chocolate and stuff that turns into RED VELVET BALLS!

This year, my cookie exchange creation is a chocolatey nutty oaty delight:

NO-BAKE MONSTER COOKIE BALLS 


Adapted from Maegan – The BakerMama
https://thebakermama.com/recipes/no-bake-monster-cookie-balls/
[there’s a video that shows how to make them]

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Serves 20 

Ingredients: 
  • 2-1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter 
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • ½ cup mini M&M candies

    Also needed – A sheet of parchment paper and a pan, or platter

    Instructions:
    1) In a large bowl, stir together the oats, peanut butter, honey and vanilla until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and M&M candies.

    Depending on the colors associated with the holiday, you can use particular M&Ms to highlight them. 

    2) Roll dough into 2-tablespoon sized smooth balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a plate.  (A melon baller can help)

    3) Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

    4)  Display elegantly on a plate or tray, serve and enjoy!

    You can transfer them to an air-tight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

    Happy Holidays Dear Readers!  Extra hugs with groping! 
    -Sassy
