Saturday Evening and Sunday: Liturgy and Baking Plans

You would think I would learn. SIGH.  I had a lot of text that I wrote BEFORE putting in pictures,

because they were still being uploaded but forgot that the updated Blogger is WORSE and my writing is GONE. :(

Well. 

A quick recap. 

***

Pictures of vespers, liturgy and our St Nicholas present table.

We opened our gifts tonight... 

I got the book on prayer, Husband got the boxed set of 3 Bible commentaries...

We were surprised with a gift of a very amazing looking

cranberry orange pound cake and Christmas ornament!

The cake of course went in the freezer,

I am already dreaming of January 8, when my Husband & I are home

and having a slice of that cake with a delicious cup of tea! 

Jan 7 is our Christmas... 

***

Well,

Other than this and the fact that I am up late...

I wanted to tell you my baking dreams and goals

So there they are:

Tomorrow:

2 batches of turtle bars

1 batch of brownies with dried cherries

if I have time

sugar cookies (from my 1945 Boston Cooking School Cookbook)

with toppings...

***

I have more dreams but I lost the text I wrote and don't have the steam to re-write it....

***

I am excited though.

It's going to be quite the week.

Mr Husband and I have to go to NYC early Tuesday AM.

By Wednesday I need to be figuring out Christmas dinner plans more

concretely. 

I know what I am making but have to get it ready to be made. 

***

I really want it to be special for my friend Photini... 

***

Ok. That's it for tonight.

***

I am already beginning to think about after Christmas and what 

project I want to do next...

(December's project being baking etc)...

May God bless us save us and have mercy on us!
