Welcome to Week 102 or Mmm Mondays, where we turn Monday woes into Monday whoas!

Most of the Northern Hemisphere has had at least a dusting of snow by now. In Canada, we’re well into winter (which technically hasn’t begun yet) and have many months of snow to go. That just means we have more need for cuddling. Maybe that’s why Canadians are so polite?
Last Week’s Links
Marie began our week with Lust and Shame Made a Hot Summer. Sometimes the body wants what the brain knows it shouldn’t. Sometimes you have to choose.
She followed that doozy with Exciting Darkness. A delicious tale about things that go bump in the night, and the pleasure we take from them.
May returned to The Light House Guy-Spiral Staircase, where a case of vertigo changes fate, but desire still remains.
Barefoot got into a bind in Chair Ties and Tortured Toes. Sometimes even the best laid plans have a mishap. Sometimes the mishap is part of the plan.
And David Mei had us glued to our Chair.
And Snake and Charmer Rocked the Weekend away!

Odd Desires Towards My Unrequited Lover by The Night Bunny
I desperately wanted to be touched, and by one guy in particular.
Gordon has loved Esmeralda for as long as he can remember. The only problem is, his love in unrequited. But when Esmeralda begins having fantasies about Gordon, she makes him a deal, “how about we be friends, with benefits?”
Can Gordon put his love aside for lust? Or will he become the man of Esmeralda dreams and reality?
This short and sinfully sweet tale is 1of a three-part series. Stay tuned for the other 2 installments, coming soon!

Week 102 Recipe
This is the time of year when most people go the extra mile in their baking. This simple recipe seems like they take a lot of work but are really quite easy. But you don’t have to tell anyone else that. Great for exchanges or the office party.
Snowball Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 c. walnuts very finely chopped
- 1/4 c. granulated sugar
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 c. butter chopped and softened
- 1 c. powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° and line a large cookie sheet with parchment. In a large bowl, mix flour, walnuts, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla. Add butter and, using your hands, combine everything until mixture resembles a coarse meal.
- Form dough into small balls and place on prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake 15 minutes.
- When they’re still warm but cool enough to touch, roll cookies in powdered sugar.
- Set aside on a rack to cool completely. When cool, dust again in powdered sugar.
- Enjoy!
