I have been so busy in the kitchen but I wanted to take a quick break in order to let you know that I am thinking of you, and sending out my sincere wish that your enjoyment and reflection of the winter celebrations are happy and fulfilling. I will say that over the last few days I have prepared the following: Lemon Curd, Chocolate Dream Cookies, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, Honey Oatmeal Bread, Orange Current Cream Scones, Orange Blueberry Cream Scones and Russian Tea Cookies.
Today I am preparing Rum Raisin Cream Scones, Garlic Butter Honey Oatmeal Bread (broiled) Spaghetti and Italian Sauce, Sauteed Spinach drizzled with butter and sprinkled with sea salt. For later delivery Orange Blueberry Cream Scones and little bags of assorted cookies. Oh, and Apple Cinnamon Bread, too.
I hear the crack of the whip so I had best get back in the kitchen. Peace, love, thoughtfulness and artistic flair be yours. Ow Santa … that hurt. Just kidding.

Man oh man that’s a lot of cooking and baking! Can I come over?? Sounds and looks yummy!
Sure but bring your baby bottle because I don’t have any of those drinking contraptions. 😀
I would love to smell the delicious smells in your kitchen. My nostrils would be aquiver.
Ooooh all looks so good and you’ve been so busy! I can taste those buttered breads right now…
Just wanted to say “Thanks!” for being such a good blog friend…I’ve enjoyed your blog and appreciate your visits to mine. May you have a very happy (and safe!) New Year and I’ll comment with you in 2009! :o)
Holly, Happy New Year to you also. I baked plain cream scones this morning and I have to admit that I am sconed out! 😀
