Fweuh!

I'm glad to have some of my baking done this year. Sometimes it is very therapeutic and other times just stressful! I think I felt a little of both this year. I made peanut-butter balls for Reagan and my bro-in-law John, Crispy Date Balls (see last year's post for the recipe!), I covered pretzels, and previously had made chocolate-covered cherry cookies. All of them tasted very good, but it sometimes makes me think I should think about buying things in the future! I probably never will because I think the homemade gifts are the best, but you just get bogged down sometimes and wish it was just more fun!! I think if I were with my friends or with someone I love working on these it would be more fun... shout out to Callee.... I wished you were there with me when I was baking! It would have been MUCH more fun with you! :)
