11/28 Thanksgiving Tweetly begins
11/29 Black Friday

Quizzes and Raffles - If you would like to help out with items from your attic, we will be focusing on these things:
Thanksgiving, Knuttcase items, the newly released nuts, autumn, maple, leaf/leaves, turkey, turkiye, gobble items, boosters, pies, autumn colored items - red, yellow, orange, brown; prizes from Tweetly, Burple, Gurple, Murple, Plucky, and the Gobble War

We start the month out with 2 events. ErynAmrod is hosting a Thanksgiving Art Contest. The theme is bountiful harvest. "Turkey, stuffing, and potatoes, oh my! Celebrate Thanksgiving this year with art and design by submitting food banners, pictures of your pets stuffing their gobs, or anything else food related." All submissions are due by 11/24. Check out her blog for more information. https://www.marapets.com/blogs.php?entry=502209&id=9050623

We see so much horror and divisiveness on the news every day. Thanksgiving is a time to step back and reflect on all the amazing good around us. I am so thankful for all of you clubbies. I am hosting a Random Acts of Kindness Giveaway. Post about a time you performed a random act of kindness or a time you were the receiver of a random act of kindness. That's all. It can be on or off of Mara. Winners will be chosen using a random list generator and prizes include full map sets, a stamp, wardrobe items, a book, and a glowing egg. All submissions are due by 11/7/24. Go check out my blog for more information. https://www.marapets.com/blogs.php?entry=504021&id=2039393

Next, for all you dress up fans, Dayravenb is hosting a Take Flight Dress Up Contest 11/9-11/16.
"Have you always wished you could fly like Superman? Or like a butterfly? Swoop like a swallow or soar like an eagle? Or, have you always dreamed of being a pilot? Let your dreams take flight in this Take Flight Dress-up Contest!" Blog to be posted closer to the time of the event.

11/15-11/28 Wiild graciously agreed to take over ATM Clubbie Appreciation after we had a last minute cancellation. This is your chance to nominate a club member their kindness, generosity and willingness to lend a hand. Everyone you nominate will receive a gift and the person who receives the most nominations will receive the grand prize. Be thinking of who you would like to nominate. One submission per person. More information to follow mid-month.

11/22-11/26 I will be hosting a small Thanksgiving Word Scramble. Everyone who unscrambles all 15 correctly will receive a random prize from my attic.

Save some energy because on Thanksgiving Ian releases Tweetly. Be sure to prepare your battle pet. The most affordable entry level weapon is the mace (16 icons). You can win it from Defend the Castle (level 8, 2 stars) or buy it in user shops. At the time of writing this, they were around 25K. Most importantly, you need 2 weapons. There are better weapons, but unless you have a well-statted pet and are a serious battler, they are probably not worth it. Spanishmusicfan has a blog titled "The Very Quick Guide to Battling." If you have never battled, go check it out. https://www.marapets.com/profile.php?do=blogs&id=8319194

And last, but certainly not least, stock up on MP, BP, and RP. The day after Thanksgiving, we will once again get Black Friday. In previous Black Friday events, all shops were 75% off. No guarantees, but in the past, we have also gotten free training, school, and university for all pets.

Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries You will need: 1 lb large strawberries (I used 2 lbs assorted sized strawberries and still had a little stuffing left over though) 8 oz cream chease, softened (cause use 1/3 less fat cream cheese) 3-4 tbsp powdered sugar (4 tbsp for a sweeter filling) 1 tsp vanilla extract gram cracker crumbs Directions: 1. Rinse strawberries and cut around the top of the strawberry. Remove the top and clean out with a paring knife, if necessary. (Some may already be hollow inside.) Prepare all strawberries and set aside. 2. In a mixing bowl beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add cream cheese mix to a piping bag or ziploc bag with the corner snipped off. (I just spooned the mixture in as I forgot to read the part saying use a bag lol) Fill strawberries with cheesecake mixture. Once strawberries are filled dip the top in the graham cracker crumbs. If not serving immediately refrigerate until serving.

and they were wonderful with the caramel machiato too! I've also used the powders that you just pour in water and shake, those came out good as well, but I prefer the ones with some caffeine lol I don't want to win though, I already have 10 bone trumpets and wouldn't want to take one from someone who could use it!

Chocolate Coffee Meringue Kisses recipe Ingredients 3 large egg whites 1 cup sugar 3 tablespoons cocoa powder (or 1 packet of hot cocoa) 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder (or any kind of instant coffee/cappuccino or whatever you like I used mocha the last 3 times I made these) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of oven. Preheat oven to 275*F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. (I use wax paper although honestly I don't know if there's a difference between the 2 lol) Use an electric mixer to whip egg whites until foamy. With the mixer still running add sugar in a slow steady stream. Continue to beat until shiny and stiff. Sift in cocoa and espresso powder over whites, then add vanilla. Gently fold in. (I fold it in for a few then use my hand mixer on low lol. I'm not one for following directions lol!) Pipe or drop heaping tablespoons onto baking sheets leaving 1 1/2 inches between. Bake until firm on outside, between 20-35 mins. Cool completely on baking sheets (Doesn't take long at all to do that, maybe 10 mins for me I think it was) Peel kisses off paper and store in airtight container no more than 2 days. Mine never come out to where they hold their shape so I don't pipe them, I just drop them on the sheet one spoon at a time. They come out with a crispy outside and a fudge like inside. If you cook them too long they'll crack and be super puffy, if you cook them just right they'll be puffy, but not too much, and they won't crack. The outside is crispy but fragile and breaks easy. Lol I'm not too good at baking meringues I think, but I love these Smile They're easy to make, and taste good. Next time I'm using instant caramel machiato instead of the mocha I've been using though.

Super Easy fudge and peanut brittle recipes Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge What you need: 2 cups sugar 3 tps cocoa (or 6 tbs cocoa powder) 1/2 cup milk 1 cup peanut butter 1 tbs vanilla Instructions: Put peanut butter and vanilla in a medium sized bowl. Butter a platter or large baking dish. In a saucepan mix sugar, cocoa (or cocoa powder) and milk over medium heat until well mixed. Bring to a rapid boil and let it boil for exactly 1 minute. Quickly pour over peanut butter and vanilla and beat until thick, it should take a minute or less. Pour on a buttered platter or in a buttered large baking dish. Spread until even and let cool. After it cools cut into squares and enjoy. Peanut Brittle What you need: 3/4 cup water 1 1/2 cup sugar 1 1/4 cup peanuts Instructions: Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or coat it with cooking spray. In a saucepan combine water and sugar. Stir briefly and then boil until it's a light amber in color. If you put a little into water and it immediately hardens it's ready. (I've been making it a long time and go by color alone and haven't messed it up yet so either I'm lucky or it's just ready when it's an amber color.) Remove from heat and quickly stir in peanuts. Pour on baking sheet and spread until it's one even layer. Cool about 20 minutes, break with your hands.
