Adventures in baking
Last year, I decided to give baking as my Christmas presents to my mother's side of the family. It went pretty well, so I'm doing the same thing again this year.
So far, I think it has gone a bit better than before. It appears as those destiny does not want me to successfully make rumballs though. Last year they didn't work out that well and this year they are perhaps even worse, with a completely different recipe even!
However, that's the only thing I've had real trouble with, probably because the rest of the stuff is from recipes I've used before, with one exception.
Family Christmas is, oddly enough, tomorrow. Not my preferred timing since for me it often doesn't really feel like Christmas until Christmas Eve service but it's the time that worked best for all and I'm sure once there is a turkey in the oven I'll be feeling more in the spirit.
