HOLIDAY BAKING

QUOTE OF THE DAY:  "Some people just don't have what it takes to appreciate a cookie."  James Patterson

THIS IS: Bingo's Birthday month and New Year's Eve


Mom always used to make a bunch of holiday cookies and goodies and give them to the neighbors.  She'd make coconut macaroons, gingerbread cut-outs, sugar cut-outs, anise, chocolate chips and more.

This year, mom had to enlist Dad in the baking.  They only made gingerbread cut-outs and macaroons this year in the cookie category.  But they also made chocolate chip pound cake and fudge.  Mom supervised while dad did the mixing.  He did a good job but Mom had to laugh...there was flour sprinkled about. 

I always get a taste of the cookies...yum...when they come out of the oven.  But I didn't get any fudge.  It smelled so good, but Mom kept saying it's chocolate.  It can make a dog sick or die.  I prefer to live.  But why can Mom and Dad eat it?  There's a double standard in this household.  For Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners Dad made yeast rolls.  He did a good job kneading the dough and forming the rolls, but again there was flour all over.

Dad has taken over all the household chores.  Mom always tells him what a great job he's doing.  Mom could get used to this.  Dad better start messing up a little soon so Mom doesn't get too used to this new lifestyle.
