Christmas Day
Midnight. The yeast is not bubbling. Did I overheat the milk? How many rests does the dough need anyway? If it rests, may I rest too?
Okay. Done. To be baked in the morning. Still need to do the spice cake but, things are half ready.
Morning. Sunlight comes in through my wall of windows. Hello, tree. Merry Christmas everyone.
I work on the spice cake and once that is in the oven, I put ribbons on packages. We recycle ribbons and so it is a challenge to match sizes cut to packages of ten years ago.
Ah! Breakfast foods are ready.
Wake up daughters! It’s Christmas!
[P.S. To Ocean commenter: send me an email and I'll forward cake recipe!]

Ooh, yes! Recipes! Would love to have the ones for the spice cake and the cinnamon rolls (that is if the P.S. at the end of the post is not directed at anyone specific and it's no bother). This post made me instantly crave something sweet.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I have the exact same red bell pepper ornament as in a previous tree shot. It's one of my favorites.
Happy New Year!
