Pardon the break, but I took a few days off! Couldn't resist taking a picture of the cookies. A very dear friend came over before Christmas and we spent the day baking cookies. I then made more on my own and tried out a couple of new cutters including the mitten and the gingerbread people. Christmas has never been Christmas for me without spritz either...yummy! One other new recipe, which will be a yearly addition to the goodies is
Peanut Butter Cheese Fudge. It is a Paula Deen recipe and it is yummy. Yep! Butter, Velveeta cheese, peanut butter and powdered sugar along with vanilla and nuts. Now out with the old and in with the new. My kitchen and dining room floors are finished. After painstakingly removing the first layer of parquet, the mister was left with lots of glue in the floor. He started by using a belt sander, but the friction heated the glue which became gummy so we used the heat gun and scraped. (The glue curled up like wood chips.) What a chore, and it took several days. The installation of the new floor wasn't without problems either, but it is beautiful now that it is installed. Will post pictures later. Anyway, with the old year about finished (and it didn't end really well did it?) we can only hope that the new year brings with it a brighter future for us all.
