I'm joining Anne in the Kitchen (blogspot - Cooking and All that Jazz ) with her Christmas countdown preparations and fun planning posts.
Preparing for the next Christmas season. January is the best time to work on crochet Christmas gifts and/or ornaments. My family has been overwhelmed with my gracious and over abundance of ornament making over the years. I need to find another outlet for them now. Maybe nursing homes? Adult assisted living facilities?
We have located a non-gmo Christmas cookie sugar sprinkle for next year's cookies. I had no idea they even made them, and our Menard's sells Watkins brands. They make this in "green" too with no artificial dyes.
Current library book for Christmas possibilities:
Delicious Foods to Make and Give Homemade, by Judith Choate. A good library find for holiday planning if you are doing so during these slower winter days.
It has many recipes and ideas. However, what in the world would you use parsley jelly for ?
The book suggestion is for a glaze on poultry, fish, veal or lamb. Honestly, I would rather dehydrate my herb garden parsley and use it that way. Would you use the jelly? Just wondering. It is an odd recipe, and with sugar too.
I have printed and saved one adult game for our binder.
I have not yet tried any new recipes for the next holiday.
