Some of the things that have come out of my kitchen in the past week:
Cookies, Cookies and Cookies. Over the years we've cut down on the number of different kinds, usually choosing 4-6 types. These fall into the "It's Just Not Christmas Without..." category: coconut macaroons, old-fashioned sugar cookies, snickerdoodles, Rollo cookies and biscotti. No biscotti yet, but everything else has been baked, one kind a night in the past week. No power outage is gonna stop us, either. :)
Fudge. I haven't made fudge in about five years...and now I remember why. It's because I love it so damn much! I am bringing Rocky Road fudge to my family's Christmas party tomorrow, and it's heavenly.
Garlic and Chicken "Stew." This was dinner tonight, and it's one of my all-time favorite meals. Two heads (yes, HEADS not cloves) of garlic, chicken parts (tonight we used thighs and breasts) and various other ingredients left to stew in a Dutch oven is such an incredible smell.
Coming up on the horizon: Christmas eve dinner, which is getting changed up this year from Spaghetti to Roast Chicken. Christmas morning breakfast....overnight baked french toast. (In my humble opinion, the best kind) And we're doing dessert for the family get-together on Christmas Day, and have some great things!
