I have a long-standing tradition that I will bake some type of Christmas cookies on the day of the first real snowstorm of the season. So today, in my real Christmas kitchen, I am baking Whipped Shortbread Cookies.
Later, I may make some fudge, but we will see. Lots of housework needs doing today too: many loads of laundry, and the bane of my existence, vacuuming. I also want to wash the dining room windows (insides only, for obvious reasons) before hanging my Simple Christmas Card Banners.
As I read your post I got a comfy, cozy feeling! I grew up in Kansas where we had snow. I can remember it being white and still outside, while inside the smell of fresh baked cookies wafted through the house. Yum!
ReplyDeleteVicki, I am glad you could feel the comfy coziness of my snow day yesterday! My cookies didn't turn out as well as I hoped, but the taste and aroma were perfect. So glad I could trigger a memory for you!
ReplyDeleteJust a little snow here for now. Isn't it beautiful when the trees are packed?
ReplyDeleteOh, it is! Our snow is mostly melted off the evergreens now, but I have no doubt we will get more. We have a little fir tree outside with colored lights that look so pretty glowing through the snow.
