I've caught the baking bug of late. Some morsels were for a lunch I was planning, but the bulk of it was tucked in the freezer to have on hand. I wouldn't say that I have a very sweet tooth, but at this time of year an ancestral reflex must come into play as the temperature drops and the oven gets preheated. For starters, shortbread seemed like a good idea at Christmastime.
I'm a fan of Lorrie's rugelach recipe. These were a big hit with my lunch guest. I like them warmed up just a touch.
Mince tarts are a classic at this time of year, some people love them, some people don't. The pastry is homemade, but I confess that the filling came from a jar. I can live with that. Maybe I should try making the filling sometime. Have you done so?
Warm butter crescent rolls.
Count me among those who still enjoy bread . . .
especially when accompanied by a bowl of hot soup and a fresh salad.
We celebrated lunch and and our friendship.
And talked.
For hours.
Then I sent my guest home with stockings and baked goods.
It was time well spent. Here's wishing you your own special times.
Thank you for visiting and for your thoughtful comments.
Note: For those interested, ☀Sunlit Sunday will resume on January 5, 2014 and run for 3 months. All are welcome to participate.
