We have been working hard on our baking. We don’t purchase many gifts for the holidays. We make most of our gifts and usually they’re edible. R has done much much more baking than I have but I try to help after work. This year we’re making 11 new kinds of cookies, 2 new kinds of candies/snacks, and one new cake. We’re also making the 8 kinds of cookies, 2 breads, 1 cake, and dog biscuits that we always make. We’re up to 56 dozen so far and will soon run out of room in the freezer. Here’s the list of what we’re making:
