To bake.
I bet you can see what I did ALL DAY. Yes, ten hours of baking and dipping and mixing and cleaning and never leaving the kitchen, (well almost never). I did compute a little while. Had to check on my family blogs.
Tray in front holds apple cakes and pumpkin cakes, I made these in the shape of Roses, (my signature).
To the right is a tray of "Cup of everything cookie", (to the left and above) Gingerbread cookies, Nut covered Nut balls, Chocolate Maple balls, Sinckerdoodles, Persimmon cookies, Roca, Marble fudge, Rum balls, (in tin) and a tray of Rose Cakes and breads.
On the counter I have a bowl of Neiman Marcus cookies, (to bake) I finally called it a day, after 10 hours on my feet.
What a job!!! My back hurts, my head hurts, I am so tired and dirty, (well not dirty as that is not a good thing to say when you have spent the day in the kitchen)
I do not like to go barefoot so I went through two pair of socks today, Just to keep my feet clean.
I detest walking in spilled flour, sugar or the likes of.
OK I admit it I am pretty messy when I bake. Right Sheri?? She is so much better at neatness in baking than I am.
But I do not like to stop once I get it going, I want to get it made, baked and then I clean or better yet, Wait until David comes home and he does the cleaning.
That is exactly what I did too, He cleaned while he sampled.
I do not know how he keeps from being so sick. I did not sample one item, until I was totally through and I had to try the persimmon cookies.
I can live without them.
They are good, just not something I love.
Oh Yes, Coy and Lou, Only two of the persimmons are ripe.
For the record, While they (Coy and Lou) were here in November, we stopped at a home that sells Persimmons, beautiful persimmons. Coy went in and bought six of them. He took a lot of pain picking out the best looking, However, Best looking is not ripe.
They have taken this long to ripen and I still have firm persimmons in the fruit tray.
So with that I close and maybe just put my feet up.
Goodnight All.

You are a MESSY cook. I can't stand trying to work in the kitchen with you while you are baking. I clean as I go...you pile as you go! LOL The thing I can't figure out though: Aren't you the one that taught me to clean as I go? Don't you listen to your own rules?
looks yummy! I made pep bark and madi's fudge yesterday. I am pretty sure I have lemons.. you want some yet?
Hi Sue,
Your goodies look delicious! Can I come over and spend Christmas with you? LOL.
I came to wish you and yours a wonderful holiday. Merry Christmas!
Hugs,
Renie
Someone needs to make Avalance Bark, or buy the ingredients so I can make it when I'm there: Peanut butter, white chocolate chips, mini semi sweet chocolate chips,rice krispies, mini marshmallows.
Your kitchen probably looked like mine, no place to set anymore, I should have took a picture of all my plates. They were full, I had a little left to share with family. Yours looked delicious. We had pumpkin bread for breakfast along with our coffee this morning.Don't like a dirty floor or dishes, I clean as I go.
Love to bake
I am with Sheri and Mom, I clean as I go. More room to work if you do not have to deal with dirty dishes. I too love to bake, On Saturday/Sunday, I made 8 loaves of Bread, Chocolate Fudge and Vanilla Fudge, Skillet Cookies, and Puppy Chow. Doing some more baking today (after I brave Walmart for more supplies) for mom's tomorrow..
