If you want to find me next week, try my kitchen.

Baked a cherry kugelhopf, almond macaroons, snow balls (nutty shortbread balls dusted with icing sugar), and also made cranberry sauce today. All for a bagful of Christmas present for S and her family, because tomorrow will be the last day we see her before Christmas . (Leftovers are for us 3 pigs to munch on this weekend.) Am quite impressed with myself for doing all in one day, but have become so exhausted that the cold that started last Friday hasn't gone away yet. Actually I feel worse than a couple of days ago.Too ill to touch a drop of alcohol. More baking to do for Christmas presents for the folks in the town... I know that it's much easier to buy something for them, but I can't find anything that I'd like to give them in shops. Oh well. No rest for the wicked.
