So Solstice has come with it's pressies and paper thrown everywhere. The anticipated heavy winds didn't actually hit us (thank the Gods!) and we only lost power for a brief moment last night.
The Middle Spawn and her Boy were able to come out last night once Dad went and picked them up (small issue with tire chains and the need of a jack) so they were able to be here for the morning carnage.
Stockings were stuffed with more sugar than any one person every needed, and toys for all.
I fixed french toast and oatmeal and now we've all settled down for our coma until later. We'll have ham and yams and probably okra for dinner as it's what is in the fridge.
Baking count has hit an all time high.....
3 types of biscotti; cranberry pistachio, chocolate chunk almond (with splenda) and chocolate chunk cranberry for the Middle Spawn who cannot eat tree nuts.
3 different pans of fudge (and I finally found instructions on how to do it so it doesn't turn out grainy)
a gingerbread house with decorations
ginger snaps
peppermint bark
coconut haystacks
The Elder Spawn also made peanut brittle and another pan of peppermint bark for the friends.
Hope your solstice was bright! |
