Christmas Confession......

By -

 Very teeny tiny presents scattered on my table...
But that's not the confession: this is......I've managed to eat all the Holiday Christmas cookies  I made a month ago.  One before bed every night, okay maybe two, and one for Fireman.  That's 2 to 3 cookies per day times 30 days....
equals....the end of the cookies....
What to do?
I'm making quick breads for dessert instead.  There will be 
Almond Poundcake Bread
Cranberry Bread and new this year:
EggNog Bread.  
Cookies are my downfall, my treat, my tiny joy~!  
and finally some knitting
Simple TOAST handwarmers in fingerless style.  They will be midllength.   
Confessions anyone else???

Eggnog my husband's favorite.
I make eggnog bread like it is going out of style this time of year.

I have had the same trouble with chocolate covered peanuts. My sister-in-law sent three baggies home with me. Supposedly there was one bag for each member of my family, but in reality it was three bags for me. :(

Will you share your bread recipes? I don't have a cranberry bread recipe I love and the Knight (and the fur-girls) believe eggnogg is a separate food group...

I confess: I bought Lindor Truffles to fill Christmas stockings and have refilled the bowl three times--no stockings, just the bowl!! I haven't eaten a single Christmas cookie but chocolate is my weakness.

Love the Toast wristlets!!

EGGNOG BREAD?!? I must have this. Sounds wonderful.

My confession is that if Christmas cookies do show up (and thanks to my fiancé's mom, they always do), I eat them all. Or it feels like it. I am a Cookie Monster.

I have already eaten one of my fruitcakes. All by myself. The entire thing-one hacked off piece at a time. I'm not making the cookies until Sunday. I wouldn't dare.

We have a black cat under our tree too! Cookies aren't a problem yet-I'm gluten free and haven't made mine yet.

I started eating some chocolate-covered gingerbread cookies a few days ago--one for breakfast each day. It will probably take me awhile, but I'll probably eat the whole box by New Year's. They aren't homemade but are still very tasty.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
