Finally made these today (one day before Christmas break!) and OMG, they are delish. And it’s a good thing I am bringing the vast majority of the batch to school because they are hard to resist. Thanks again for sharing.

[...] thing I never got around to organizing my art supplies because they made great containers for the pretzel pralines and candied nuts I made to give as gifts. I was originally planning to use some of the glass pickle [...]

Mmm that looks yummy but I don’t think I know what sourdough pretzel nuggets are.

I made a special trip to town to go to the bulk food store because of this post! It looks like a pretty perfect, non-nut treat to bring to the staffroom at school.

Bek, I’m sorry to say, it’s not really an error. :-) It’s a colloquial speech form. Saying “I have done” is just another form of “I have done so” or “I have,” not terribly common in American English but still fairly common in British English. I like the way it sounds and use it for emphasis sometimes.

It’s kind of like saying “I’ve never gotten to the top level of this game before,” instead of “I’ve never got to the top level.” Gotten is an archaic form of got, not used in most parts of the English-speaking world, but it’s still common in the U.S. just like forgot/forgotten.

Hi! I’m a long time lurker, but I just had to say that I love that first picture of the rain. You are very talented.

I can hardly contain myself! I think I may have found a mistake in the ultimate editor’s blog!! Isn’t “I have done for as long as I can remember” wrong? Shouldn’t it just be “I have”? Sadly, I have to ask you because I don’t really know, I’m just guessing *sigh*. When you get back here, I’ll have to get you to Competitive Game Night for some word games….but I call you for my team if we’re playing on teams!

I love the rain too. It’s suppose to snow up here in the Northeast so I’ll take that as well. I absolutely cannot wake up late on snowy days.

I’m with you. I love the rain, but alas we’re getting snow instead right now. Snow I can handle, but not the bitterly cold wind that is joining it. Oh well. Happy baking!

I agree with Deanna – move to Washington! You’ll be ECSTATIC if rain makes you happy. :)

And I am definitely trying those pretzel pralines. I love the salty/sweet combo. Yum.
