This holiday season I have not done as much baking as normal. Our jaunt to Mexico threw off my holiday plans (in a good way) Yesterday I was in a kitchen frenzy. I worked all day at my office and had to finish wrapping the presents when I got home and did I mention it was Mr. P's 30th birthday? Since we went to Mexico to celebrate he had been warned his actual birthday was going to be boring. We enjoyed a yummy dinner that I picked up at
Earthfare. We had the steaks but I picked up the prettiest green asparagus & some premade Gouda mashed potatoes. HEAVENLY. It was a really nice meal! Dessert was a rich chocolate mousse topped with hazelnut whipped cream.
Pickled Peaches: this is what my dad wanted for Christmas. Of course he told us this at Thanksgiving so it wasn't like we could make them! So we ordered them from the Internet!
The Old Mill shipped everything in a quick fashion and did a fabulous packing job to insure their safe arrival! They have all sort of food products that look yummy. My dad was thrilled (these came early and I let him eat them!) and said the peaches were delicious. He has been feeling nostalgic lately...and apparently enjoyed these back in the day.
Tonight I am at the Inn to create some holiday yummies for our guests. I am looking forward to baking since I haven't done too much this year. Usually I am dreading this sort of stuff by now!
