I am not ready for Christmas. I don’t intend to be ready for Christmas until Dec 22nd at the earliest. I am, however, craving Christmas goodies, particularly cookies. The following are on my to-make list between now, or as soon as it cools off, and mid-January:
- pumpkin pie (family recipe)
- pecan pie (Emeril’s recipe, although Renee insists I need to try hers)
- candy cane cookies (one of my favorites!)
- Christmas tree cookies (Greta’s recipe)
- pumpkin roll (family recipe)
- brandied pecans (Jenny Wible’s recipe)
- chocolate kissed macaroons
- banana bread (Jan’s recipe)
And that’s just off the top of my head. I’m relying on friends and coworkers to assist with the consumption — I can’t run enough to burn it all off.
