What a wonderful way to spend a weekend...no work for two whole days! I got up a little before nine, got dressed and headed for Park Avenue to visit my friend Kenda at Peterbrooke Chocolates. I purchased a few Christmas gifts then strolled through the Farmer's Market and Williams Sonoma. The weather was absolutely beautiful...blue skies and a crisp coolness in the air.
My friend Susan called this morning in a little panic about baking cookies for her Christmas party tonight. She didn't have the ingredients or the cookie sheets. I offered to make Peppermint Bark cookies and she gratefully accepted my offer. She needed them by 5:00. My leisurely pace left me little time to bake. After a couple of stops I managed to get all the baking supplies I needed and headed home to bake. I love the festive look of these cookies. I managed to finish the cookies just in the nick of time to deliver to Susan.
Errands and Christmas shopping consumed most of my evening. Late tonight I managed to make a couple of batches of dough while being serenaded by my roommate Jim's snoring. At least I was comforted that my baking noise was not keeping him awake. Tomorrow will be all about baking and another celebration of no work.
Many hugs and days off,
Kathy
