....christmas baking. Five dozen ginger cookies done and in the
freezer. Now on to chewy choc cookies - not necessarily christmasy,
but my family like them. And this year I aim to bake our annual
exchange cookies BEFORE the actual day of. Just have to figure out
what to make!. Got 4lbs of unsalted butter today at $3.49 a lb. I
shudder to think how much I spend on butter at this time of the year.

I hope your 2011 is much better than what 2010 has been.


I might make a whole bunch of christmas cakes and give them out to everyone.

I have to use the red wine in my collection somehow....... and my cake recipe
has a *lot* of red wine in it :-)
