A Magical Night
Comments (9)Michael, the only cookies I know how to bake are traditional Toll-House chocolate chip cookies. This year however I did something different. I added roasted hazelnuts to the mix. OH MAN were they good! BTW, roasting nuts is super easy. Just get a iron skillet piping hot (dry, i.e. no oil) and then throw in the nuts. Immediately starting tossing them until the edges start to blacken, which should only take a minute or two. Works well with any kind of nut. Morz8, I live in Maryland just north of the Nation's Capital. Jon, that is a lovely poem. Definately a keeper. Flo, it sure looks like there was some sort of holiday magic going on with that log. BTW, I have a really nice Japanese birch tree called the WHITESPIRE growing in my front yard. It is a short to moderately tall multi-trunk tree with smooth, non-pealing gleaming white bark marked here-and-there with black triangles. I have it underplanted with English Bluebells. Folklore aside, what I like most about this tree is that the canopy isn't as dense as with other trees and allows dappled sunlight to reach the garden floor; perfect for shade tolerant roses. The light blue-green foliage perfectly compliments the rest of the tree and in the autumn turns brilliant golden yellow. I don't normally like trees but this one is a favorite.

Comments (4)Suzie that's a lot of good looking baking! I don't know how you managed to bake all that in one day! This year I'm being lazy and buying mine at the bakery and chocolate shops. SharonCb...See MoreAnyone Thinking About Holiday Baking Yet?
Comments (25)OK, I'm kind of thinking about it, although I still have a piece of Thanksgiving's buckeye cake to get rid of. I did buy 5 lbs of butter for $1.25 a pound yesterday, and 4 jars of marshmallow cream on sale. Since I've decided that I'm not putting up a tree this year and I'll put up just a few decorations, I might have more time to back. However, I promised Amanda I'd take her Christmas Shopping and we have tickets to see "the Nutcrapper" (Bud's version of the title, LOL) and I need to do Christmas with my family AND with Elery's, AND I have Cooper to deal with, I don't know how much time I'm going to have... I'll at least make shortbread and fudge and some cutout cookies with The Princess and Bruvver and find enough time to watch Rudolph and The Muppet Christmas Carol and the Jim Carrey version of The Grinch with the grandkids.

Comments (5)As far as 'pinching' them closed, I wasn't really sure about that either, so I just went by the picture and sort of 'pinched' the top closed. I didn't gather the dough, but rather just shut the tops. I guess it could really be done either way, though....See Moresealavender
