Oops! Suddenly Christmas is only two days away and I haven't even started!
Double oops!
Today my agenda calls for finding a recipe online and collecting three others from the files. Hitting the grocery store for missing ingredients is next on the list. I WILL make the dough for the cookies I promised my brother back in December 2009. (In fact, Dec. 25th, 2009.)
Tomorrow I will bake two cakes and the cookies.
Saturday I will bake a pie before the turkey goes into the oven. (And I have to prepare the veggies, too.)
Why, oh why, didn't I do my baking before this?
Well, Christmas, which seemed so far in the future, suddenly snuck up on me.
I love to bake, but because of extenuating circumstances I had to give up my daily aspirin and now standing for longer than half an hour is a major pain--literally. Therefore, Mr. Bar Stool is my new best friend. Yes, I will sit and mix ingredients. We will have cake. We will have cookies. We will have pie.
I've got that computer-generated calendar going now, so next year I'm scheduling baking a LOT earlier. Please hold me to it.
What last minute prep is on your list of things to do for the next couple of days?
never too late to do something you love and it will be focused and very meaningful this close to Christmas....do what you can and that will suffice...blessings to you and yours this Christmas...enjoy the wonderful day of baking!!!
