I know I said I would be inspired everyday and write a
little bit….. but the holidays hit as they always do- not enough done ahead of
time, work, family, events etc. We
are all in the same boat! Years
ago I baked a LOT of cookies every Christmas, now I am lucky if I get one batch
done! I start out with the best
intentions….. but like everything
else I grab those few minutes of staring at the Christmas tree and thinking
about wrapping up the year and beginning anew when I can. Usually that means on the couch with
one of these…
This is my small recap of the holidays this year. I did bake a couple of cookies but I am
ashamed to admit they were from a box!
All in all they worked out- pretty, festive and yummy. I made one batch of from scratch dough
that they kids cut out, baked and decorated on Christmas Eve for Santa.
I do love Christmas, it was such a magical time in my
childhood and I hope I have made it that way for the girls! This year was the first time I really
saw them as getting older, wanting the old traditions but really moving onward
in their lives. Amazing to watch.
2011 went out like a lion and 2012 came in like a lamb-
quiet and full of new promises.
Dim Sum on New Years Eve and Pulling out all the stops on New Years Day
to ensure some good fortune and luck- Black Eyed Peas, Lentil Soup, Long
Noodles, a few shavings of my own gift: a Perigord Black Truffle and of
course a bottle of Veuve Cliquot. Here is hoping 2011 is a good one for
all of us. (keeping my fingers crossed of course)
