Saturday

I bought at the local farm. I can't wait.

My daughter came and helped me make some Christmas treats, so I've had enough calories today.

So far, teacakes, spiced walnuts, peanut butter bars, and brigadieros. Tomorrow, I'll put together baklava and then candy some pecans. Closer to Christmas, I'll make a 1/2 recipe of rice krispie treats. My kids and grandkids are baking cookies. We'll have way too much, as always.
