This Week…Baking
Larry and I began our annual Christmas baking this week. This always gets me in the holiday spirit. (Yes, I realize I mentioned the baking yesterday but it has consumed our whole week.)
Baking is love made visible.

We usually make 4 different kinds of cookies and mini carrot raisin cakes. This year instead of fudge, I’m making chocolate bark. I’m using dark and white chocolate…some with toasted pistachios and dried cranberries and some more kid-oriented with marshmallows, M&M’s, and Animal Crackers.

Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first.

One benefit of baking when it’s cold is that having the oven on keeps the kitchen nice and toasty.
Good bread is the most fundamentally satisfying of all foods; and good bread with fresh butter, the greatest of feasts.

One cookie baking task neither one of us enjoys is decorating cut out sugar cookies. You know..the cute cookie in the shape of a Christmas tree.
One year we frosted the cookies and tried “decorating” them. I can see now why those beautifully decorated cookies cost upwards of $4-6 a piece.
The only thing better than a good friend is a friend with chocolate.

Call me crazy but I love baking and cooking for people…even more so if they actually like it!!
Have a weekend eating something homemade!!!
