Holiday Specials Tis the season to be slaving in the kitchen. I use to do a large assortment of cookies (shortbread, linzors, ginger snaps, almond balls, and some highly boozed up truffles, if theres time, I may even do some orange ginger biscotti) then wrap then in cello bags and give them out, or mainly, mom giving them out to her co-workers. But with my kitchen still out of order and finding myself being busier then ever before, I doubt I'll get a chance to do 1/3 of what I use to.
I may end up just doing mom's old Grand Marnier pound cake and maybe my new Honey Apple Pie (replacing the sugar with the apple filling with honey basically, turns out quite nice). If I hit my other side of my family, I may end up doing a bunch of creme brulee for my cousin, just found out shes addicted to the stuff.
Anyone do anything special just for the holidays? |
