Baking weekend went quite well as did Thanksgiving. I have to say that the rib roast I cooked was all sorts of yummy and I will likely never go back to plain ole turkey evah again. And the homemade mac and cheese mmmm. It was a day for comfort foods for sure.
So now we slide into Christmas, which means Christmas trees, Christmas music, fires, hot chocolate and pressies. Christmas trees are rather scarce around here thanks to two hurricanes in the last three years *sigh* And the ones we have, oy! Let’s just say I’ve never paid so much for a live Christmas tree in my life! But it’s gorgeous so I’m verra happy indeed. But still… ouch!
Speaking of pressies…I’m uhm behind the times. My brain can’t keep up and I only just realized that I have stuff I donated to the auction for Jo Leigh and those auctions are now live. I’m offering a critique, which I can’t imagine why anyone would pay for my opinion, especially when Amy has offered to pay me NOT to give my opinion on many occassions, but an opinion I will give! You can hop over to look if that sort of thing interests you.
The other thing I’m offering is a complete collection of all my print books, including my Sharon Long titles, all of which will be signed and shipped free of charge by me. So if you want my entire library, autographed, you can hop over to that auction and check it out. Oh and uhm I realized after the fact that I left off Long Road Home, so if you read this and happen to win the auction, email me and let me know I forgot Long Road Home and I will throw it in for you :whoo:
The auction is going really well. Its such a great thing everyone is doing.
I’m glad Baking weekend and Thanksgiving went so well. I’ll be doing a lot of baking tonight. I have 5 batches of mini-cheesecakes to make for my family’s Christmas open house tomorrow. One batch of orange cheesecakes (requested by my nephew), one batch of lemon cheesecakes, a double batch of peppermint cheesecakes, and a batch of cherry chocolate chip cheesecakes.
