I have revised my goodie boxes more than the treats for the party, I have actually made the list of goodies a bit smaller and more manageable for me. Yup, I hear that sarcastic laughing of disbelief going on out there. lol I was going to wait to make the goodie boxes til closer to Christmas, but then I decided that since I will be baking anyway this week that I am going to just make them up and deliver them....making less work for me close to the big day. Right? You all agree? OK...Ok...the laughter can stop any time now folks. lol
Here is what I am making for the Family Party.....
And, I am going to be making some cupcakes as well....with little candy penguins on them in honor of the daughter. lol We went and got most of the ingredients today, but I did realize as I was putting the pics in that I forgot to get the nutter butter cookies for the large penguins. Oh well, I gotta run to the store tomorrow anyway. LOL
For the goodie boxes.....
Plus some peppermint cookies that my friend, Sarah, has requested...and, well, since she is pregnant...I am going to do this for her. :) The daughter and I are looking forward to doing all this. OK...maybe I have put a lot on my plate and MAYBE I will end up changing my mind on when I will be doing the goodie boxes and what will all be going in them...BUT, the ones for the family party are a definite. :) And, well, they will be made first since the party is this Saturday. I love working with chocolate...for the obvious reason of course, but also because once I make the goodies, I can store them very well in an air tight container in my fridge...and because the family is distracted by all the cookies and such, they don't touch them. LOL See...there truly is a method to my madness. :)
I decided this year that I am going to give my friends home made gifts, and I figured that what better way to do that than to make these goodie boxes.? I mean, we all get people stopping over and such during this time of the year and it is always nice to be able to share goodies with them, right? OK..OK...I hear the snickering and know that some of you...ok, most of you, are thinking..."Share? WTH are you talking about Lu? These are MINE...ALLLLLL MINE!" LOL That's ok too. :) Just as long as they are appreciated and enjoyed is all that matters. :)
WOW...totally off topic...but I just heard our snow plow go down our street twice while I was typing this blog. WOW! I'm now afraid to look outside and see just how much snow we have gotten. lol I am happy that the son has a place to crash tonight after work so he doesn't have to drive back in this crap at midnight and then again tomorrow morning for work. It also saves him on gas. :) I am really thankful that his buddy and his buddy's parents give him this opportunity, it is truly a blessing. Hey...maybe I will make them a goodie box to say Thank You. :)
Ok, enough blogging....I'm sure you are all now hungry and cursing me out due to the content of this blog....maybe I will put a disclaimer in the title. :) (just changed the title to the warning. lol)
Have a great night everyone and please, be safe out there. For most of us, this is not the first time we have driven in snow and ice....but however that has never stopped others from becoming blooming IDIOTS. :)
Peace, Love and Chocolate!
