    It Happened This Morning

    It's 6:15 or so A.M. LOML made up another batch of holiday candy last night. So, this morning she tells me about it and asks me to try a piece sometime today. I said no time like the present. I haven't even had my cereal yet.

      My wife made baklava a while ago and left me home alone with it all day. I have the willpower of a dog in a butcher shop and was in pain by about noon.

        On the way to Indy this weekend we are stopping at my sister's. She emailed me yesterday to say she has already started baking some treats.

          I baked about 5 dozen oatmeal-walnut-chocolate chip cookies for Christmas presents for family. Fortunately I was stuffed from dinner so I only "sampled" 2 last night.

          My wife is baking up about 4 dozen cranberry nut cookies today to go with my chocolate chips. Betcha the house will smell fabulous when I get home tonight.

            My wife's been baking off and on for the last 3 weeks or so. Sampling ain't a bad thing.

              My wife baked pumkin bread about a week ago. It lasted two days. Our grandson liked it so.o.o.o much that she taught him how to bake it. Picture a seven year-old boy begging grandma to teach him to bake. Now he has made about 5 batches over the last week and has given loave to each of his teacchers and the principal at his school. He also has given them to every one of his friend's parents who have come by the house to pick their kids up after playing with him.

              This afternoon she told him she would 'show' him how to make peanut brittle. She agrees that the syrup is too hot for him to handle. I told her to get enough supplies for several batches as he will want to give that out as well.

                I have eaten the majority of the fudge that I set aside for the family out of the batch that I made for the office christmas party, that is locked in the freezer...

                  The architect who is helping us with our new home stopped by with a gift basket full of cookies. Luckily they're at Lake Tahoe and I'm 1400 miles away at the moment. Unfortunately, we'll be up at Tahoe for two weeks...and LOML loves to bake.

                  My suits no longer fit as it is. Could be an expensive holiday.
