Eeeeeeeee!! The wind is blowing, the temperature is dropping, the inside lights come on before 5:00pm. That can only mean one thing..... holiday baking! I am a distractibaker, procrastibaker, just-because baker, comfort baker, rage baker- you name it. But my favourite baking reason of all are the holidays. I collect recipes all year long and add them to my list of potential goodies to make and share. Inevitably the list is too long and has to be pared down, which is a laborious and painful procedure. Then specialty ingredients must be sought and the schedule planned out before the baking fun can begin. And there are sinkfuls of dishes and packaging and freezer organizing before the actual sharing of goodies over the holidays. But my most favourite part of all? Friends and family enjoying something delicious I have created with them in mind. Let the baking begin!
- We are doing an activity next Wednesday that requires a box of some sort for each child but have not managed to collect enough. If you have an empty box of some sort (cereal, cracker, tea, kleenex etc.- nothing huge) would you please send it at the beginning of next week. Thanks for the help!
