I would first like to start this off saying, it is by NO means Christmas-time in Arizona... It was 80 degrees today. I have a very serious problem with this. We are in the northern hemisphere, something is tragically wrong with the universe.
That aside, I have been doing my darndest to make this a 'real Christmas' for the family, as my husband will be home for good, and it will be the first REAL family Christmas in four years. I am making EVERY possible treat known to man. Plus, I have the whole holiday menu planned for Christmas dinner. It may end up killing me, but I'm doing it nonetheless.
Yesterday, I made winter-time muffins, a family favorite; and also made some pretzel/turtle treats. Today, I made sugar cookie dough for an army, and then proceeded to make holiday chocolates... And, this is where the fun turns into pain.
I have three, yes, only three chocolate molds... This can be a problem when you have ten pounds of melted chocolate to make. Six hours later, all the chocolates are made, my back it shaped like a horseshoe, I'm covered in blisters, and I have chocolate imbedded in all of my fingers.
I'm not a huge fan of sweets, but I do believe it will be another five years before I ever put another chocolate to my lips. Did I mention that tomorrow I'm making cookies? Should be loads of fun!
*please kill me now*
