Christmas Past

One of my holiday traditions is a trip to the mall so I can go into Williams-Sonoma and buy myself a Christmas treat. For someone who isn't all that into cooking, I am just fascinated by all the kitchen things they have and they always have mixes for something good to bake. To my budget, they're expensive but it's a once a year treat.

For some reason, last year's purchase never got made. And on Saturday, when I got the bread flour canister down, I discovered it behind hiding back there.

So on Sunday, almost a year later, I baked it. I think I'm glad it was postponed because it was just the perfect treat.



I got all involved in football and knitting yesterday, but tonight, I'll make some nutmeg sauce to go with it and have a totally calorie laden Monday night.

On the knitting front, I finished the houseshoe but it looks like crap so you aren't going to see it. I'm thinking that the ribbing is going to be completely frogged and done over. We shall see.

okay... just a minute here. Are you saying the Eggnog loaf is a mix?

Because... I made one last year from scratch and have the recipe if yoy would like it. It was YUMMY! and looks just like this one....
I thought I had posted it on my Tea and Scones blog...but nope..just a pic and a link, which now doesn't seen to have the recipe anymore. I'll send it to you if you'd like to try it. And... this festive season...I must post it to my blogs.... cuz it's worth a try.
