Don’t laugh but one my Christmas traditions is to do an all day bake-fest while watching all 3 Lord of the Rings movies. It makes for a very long day.
Yesterday, Dave and I both had the day off, we bummed around and then met my mom, sister, and friend, in Tecumseh (small town about an hour from our home). We had a late lunch at a great restaurant, that was completely empty since we ate at an odd time- 2:30, which turned out great because Ajax kept wanting to walk around the place and talk rather loud. After lunch we walked around town and looked at some shops. We also hit up Cabellas (a mega camping/hunting store in Dundee) and then my mom came home with us to stay the night.
So, that brings us back to today, my mom and I began baking pretty early and got several batches of cookies done- Russian teas, PB, Oatmeal, and Butterscotch. My dad and Dave, both self-confirmed cookie testers approved of the work product for the day and I have one more batch to go before calling it a day.
