Another movie that is a must see each Christmas. I just love the subtle humor in scenes from within the movie. My absolute favorite is when Clark and Eddie are in the supermarket. Eddie keeps putting dog food into the cart and there is a point where Clark puts a package of light bulbs into the cart second before Eddie slams a bag of dog food directly on top of the light bulbs. Neither man reacts to that happening. They just keep going along. It is probably one of the must subtle and funny scenes of the whole move. This movie is also infinitely quotable. There is just so much in the movie and it endures through the years. Behind the original vacation movie this is the best one ever. Chevy Chase is certainly at the top of his game in this movie. See for yourself.

Update: The cookie has been coined, cookie Kaboom by my friend Marilyn.
Tonight I made experimental cookies for tomorrow’s little Secret Santa, Hanukkah Armadillo celebration. The photo was one of the edible casualties. Sorry to see him go, with milk! Yummy, yummy. I wanted to make a cookie that used some of my favorite snacks, pretzels, cookies, Rolos and M&M’s. The results came out tasting okay but looking rather strange. Here is some photo documentation of the creation of my ultimate holiday cookies.
The first batch started with the pretzel.
I then added Rolos in either loop.
M&Ms were added to the small opening.
I then covered the creation with cookie dough, put them in the oven at 350 for 5 minutes, spun them and cooked for another 5 minutes and then took them out to cool.
The finished product, notice the Rolos have exploded into gooey caramel blobs.
The next batch I tried it another way.
Inverted the cookie so the dough was on the bottom and everything else was on top.
The finished Product, looks a little better but the Rolos exploded again.
So I tried something completely different and since I had no more full pretzels I just used single loops.
But before I did that I had the casualty cookie.
Broken but tasty.
Using pretzels as a base again.
Rolos and then cookie dough on top.
Add a few M&Ms on top.
The Finished Product. These came out looking and tasting fantastic, can’t wait to share them with everyone.
