Sounds good! I have a cranberry bar that is made once a year (it just came out of the oven) that is full of butter and sugar, and uses a cake mix as the dry ingredient along with oatmeal. Three eggs, and I add a cup of chopped walnuts. Pack down a layer of the cake dough (the consistency of oatmeal cookie dough), then there is a layer of cranberries, topped with more of the cake dough. It gets cut into 1" squares (it is very rich) and is shared with lots of people because it would kill anyone to try to eat the whole thing alone.

Timely delivery of parcels this year went kerflooey and I've resorted to wrapping a few odd objects as stand-ins for the recipients until the actual items arrive. Tomorrow is our brunch and by then I'll have most of the house picked up. Right now I've finished the advance cooking and gift wrapping. Instead of cinnamon rolls it will be blueberry muffins (by request) and I'll make oatmeal, and there will be fruit and maple-flavor breakfast sausages, etc.

Finishing up the last list of questions for the host of his last radio show tomorrow. The family will probably arrive for brunch right about the time the program ends, good timing.
