Production Line

I'm in full production mode now!

I love baking for the holidays - 

although I've got to admit I'd still rather be

up to my elbows in a dye bath!

As you can see, I baked most of my

Christmas Coffee Breads yesterday.

They are now neatly packaged and in the freezer

 awaiting tomorrow's deliveries to neighbors and friends.

Here's a little plate of my Springerle cookies.

They really do spring up, as the name implies.

Interestingly enough, just after I published

my last blog post, I read this article

in the Wall Street Journal.

My Springerle recipe came from my beloved old

New York Times Cookbook, 

but next year, I will try the recipe in the above article.

Right after I finishing wrapping our gifts,

I'm going to tackle the Molded Gingerbread Cookie recipe

in the Wall Street Journal.  

Sounds yummy!

Jeannie shared a delicious sounding Julekage

recipe with me.

It has cardamom in it, which is always a plus in my book!

I hope to try it tomorrow.

We enjoyed a short but sweet visit from 

Charlie

over the weekend.

He arrived, ate dinner, went to a party,

came back and crashed, and then joined us for

breakfast on Sunday before he headed back home.

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!

But he was cute!
