Christmas prep....and it starts...

Found this draft from 01 December 2014

With Kent being out of work all year--the idea of Christmas has been daunting.  Knowing that all things will be pared back, in August I started looking at how on earth will I be able to afford Christmas.

It started with Christmas baking.  I started every week buying one or two things that I needed to bake the usual stuffs that I bake.

Today, the oven went on at 10 am and I just turned it off at 8.31 pm.  My feet now "up" .... the days is over...although I still have a number of things left to do ... my candies and cookies are well underway.

So today I accomplished:

  • Chocolate Fudge
  • White/Dark Chocolate Bark
  • Shortbread
  • Rosemary, Cranberry Orange Cookies
  • Turtles
  • Slated Caramel Chocolate Coconut Bonbons
  • Lemon thumbprint cookies

Left to do:

  • Cranberry, white chocolate, pistachio shortbread
  • Kipfel
  • Raspberry kisses
  • Haystacks
  • Lemon tarts
Then, onto savoury.....
