A Little Christmas Cheer

An interesting title seeing as I feel completely overwhelmed at the moment. Time is slipping by, the big day is fast approaching and I am helpless to slow it down. I thought my house was a disaster at Thanksgiving...

Today we made a batch of "Grandma Floy's English Toffee". I wish I could say I followed the directions to a T, but the sun isn't shining (at least it's not raining), I used Hershey's chocolate, and since walnuts seem to be scarce in these parts, we put chopped cashews on the outside. Tastes yummy and if it weren't for the fact that there are only a few days left 'til Christmas, I'd likely have to hide this too. I also made a batch of Russian Teacakes. These normally have walnuts inside, but we substituted pecans. I should be making more cookies or cleaning the house. Instead I am having my afternoon cup of coffee and visiting with my friends.

Troy was here this afternoon, but went home early with his dad. He won't be back until the end of January, so tomorrow I am going shopping and I don't have to be home until 4 o'clock! If I can figure out what I need to look for, maybe I can get something done... maybe.
