I did some of my Christmas baking tonight, and will do some more tomorrow. I feel bad, because I promised a dear coworker who lives in Texas that I would send him some holiday baked goods--that was back in the summer when we had our company get together, and I made some chocolate and PB treats for everyone. This guy, Felipe, who grew up in the same neighborhood as me in the Bronx (but 10 years later) and now lives in TX, is actually legit allergic to chocolate and couldn't partake. So I assured him that my hubs also only liked citrus and cinnamonny goodies, and that when I did my holiday baking, I would send him some. In fact, right before I got the bad news about my uncle and had to take off for Ireland before Christmas, I emailed Felipe and told him I'd be sending him a care package, and he replied that I had just put the biggest smile on his face. So I can't let him down.

I made some mini lemon pound cakes today, as well as lemon bars and cherry crumb bars, and tomorrow plan to make oatmeal cookies and spritz (the spritz are for my actual husband, they are the most bland of cookies, but are his favourite).

Will remember to take photos and post them so @JenniferS doesn't get upset with me. :D

Does anyone want the actual recipes so they can duplicate my efforts? Happy to share.

Old-World Raspberry Bars

Raspberry bars combine tart flavors with a buttery base. It takes very little time and only a few ingredients to make these rich buttery raspberry-filled bars.

Photo of my effort, which was made with cherry preserves. Any flavour of jam or jelly will do. Note to say, these are the sorry looking ones that I set aside for my hubby. He doesn’t care how they look, so I give the pretty ones away. 😂

no recollection where I snipped this recipe from. First time I made it,I omitted the glaze, because just a month prior, we were in Ireland and I made a lemon cake that the man said was too wet. This one, he said was too dry. So tonight, I made and poured the glaze. I ran out of lemons, so the glaze was made with bottled lime juice. The man isn’t going to get to sample this batch—I’m shipping one or two mini loaves to my TX friend, and bringing the other two back with me to Eire on Friday.

My mini loaves. I’m not completely satisfied because the edges cooked way before the middles browned.

We were supposed to go up to the apartment tomorrow to hang drapes and deliver the Boxing Day tv I bought, but Beavis and Butthead are fighting so bad that I can’t really trust them alone all day. (There’s a hot button issue; not just their general BS, and neither will be over it by tomorrow.)

I’m 56 years old - I didn’t sign up for this. But there you have it, it is what it is. I always try to rationalize these things and say that there must be some reason the Lord wants me to be (or not be) somewhere.

I’m hoping no one calls me for a ride tonight. It unexpectedly snowed, I’m riding on 4 hours sleep, and I just want to go to bed with a hot cup of tea to watch The Gilded Age.

Happy New Year, friends. I hope 2024 brings you great blessings. A little peace around the globe would be nice too.

Perhaps you can still go to the new apt. regardless, but maybe invite one of them to join you and Mike. That way, only one would be at home.

No room in the car with a 50” tv. We can’t take the truck as it doesn’t have snow tires. It snowed today, so it would be unwise. All the other vehicles have snows; plus my car is all wheel drive.

(For those who don’t know, snow tires are recommended from November through end of March. In Quebec, they’re actually mandatory from 12/1 - 3/15.)

We’ll go next weekend. Their very bitter, but very specific spat should have blown over by then. Once the drape rods are up, I don’t really need Mike’s help.

Happy New Year. We started off with a bang. Got a call this morning asking DH to come right away. His dad has been screaming in pain all morning. He followed the ambulance to the hospital and might stay there at least tonight. Prayers would be welcome, for those so inclined. Thank you.
