LJ, the snow sure messed up schedules for many across the country. I hope you get some sleep. And you're right, somehow we manage to get all that matters finished.

chatty, I made chocolate chips yesterday too.

Heading to Sam's Club with my oldest son today. He's in charge of Christmas dinner, but we're paying for it. Winding down on the holiday preparations. ALso think our youngest son will arrive home today!

I have been busy making all kinds of cookies and candy for Christmas. The cut out cookies seem to be a favorite, which are the most time consuming, of course! Every year I say I'm not going to make as much, but then I hear, "awww, you're not going to make that? That was one of my favorites!" So what can I do when I see those big sweet eyes pleading with me. And so I tell my husband..... grin Tomorrow I will make a red cake, coconut cake, white and wheat dinner rolls for Christmas. Merry Christmas!!

Oh my Cookie, anyone that says a lot of work doesn't go into making such beautiful cookies, has never baked any. They look too good to eat. JJ, move out of the way, and let me pass to the cookies please...stop pushing will ya?

Oh Cookie...those look so yummy!!!!!!!! And I'm sure you took out all of the calories, right (Grin)?

Reminds of the days when I was a little girl...I make the same "cut out" cookie recipe from forever ago...and I don't take the time to ice them so beautifully...

You must have the patience of a saint!

Am trying to recover from a strange 24-hr. flu virus. It started shortly after I ate the seafood paella that I made for both he and I. It was good, if abit heavy.

'Cause in 8 hrs. today we're heading out to take train to Jasper in the Albertan Rockies to do snowshoeing. However I probably will hang out at the hotel for lst day or so and not venture.

Orchid, are you sure it's the flu and not food poisoning? Seafood can be very tricky. "Minor" food poisoning mimics the flu and quite often when people think they have the flu, they actually have minor (though it doesn't feel like minor) food poisoning. I hope you're feeling well. Whether it's flu or food poisoning, either one might leave you feeling a bit weak for awhile. Take care!

cookie, what a display. They're beautiful. You must really enjoy baking if you make fresh bread and rolls. I like fresh baked cookies, but I love home made bread!

This is the first year I didn't make any cut out cookies. Back in the day, I made gingerbread people, sugar cookies, and butter cookies that we also used cookie cutters for. I also made spritz cookies. I enjoyed it because I had more time to bake back then. Now I'm always squeezing everything in.
