CANDY LAND....

Only a few days left to...

GET IT TOGETHER !!!


TODAY is

CANDY MAKING DAY.....

We start off with candy made from the infamous
                 BARK.

I always have a batch of
PEPPERMINT BARK.... 

 ....and VANILLA COCONUT

and....CHOCOLATE CHIP MARBLE

and

PURE PECAN

and a favorite behind PEPPERMINT...


CRANBERRY PECAN with 
TOASTED COCONUT ON TOP...

 

YES, MA'AM...

we made candy today.

Tonight, I plan to make my mama's recipe of 

DATE NUT LOAF....

OOO, I do love it and she made it every single Christmas since I got my first tooth !!

and

PECAN DIVINITY is on my list to make but.....not today.

It's CLOUDY .....a little RAINY.....

and I've been told all my life that DIVINITY won't "set up" on these kind of days.

 MR. SWEET  SANTA just came thru and said he sure hoped
he'd have a plate of these candies waiting for him on 
CHRISTMAS EVE.....

 

 and I said,
"You bet your black, shiny SANTA BOOTS you will...."
 

 They do look mighty good, don't they....

CHRISTMAS COOKIES, coming up next !!

MERRIEST CHRISTMAS, YA'LL 
**********************

A CHRISTMAS  P.S.

I just made a wonderful SIMMERING POTPOURRI
that has every room in our new home smelling like HEAVEN.

Orange peels and a few slices....
cinnamon
whole cloves
slices of lemon
add  water.... 

put it all in a RED pot and simmer, keeping a watchful eye on it.

O HONEY

Mr. Sweet just stuck his head in the kitchen door, sniffing like a hound dog
and wanting to know "when can we eat it...?"
Not to eat, my good man...
just a
CHRISTMAS SMELL-GOOD TREAT...
give this a try instead of using candles and room spray, for a change....
now I want to do the CLOVE/ORANGE thing....:>)
