How was your Christmas? Did you get everything you wanted? Santa was very good to me. I got a load of kitchen goodness, the best of which is a Le Creuset. I’ve already used it. And several new cookbooks… I fear I’ve become predictable.
But that was yesterday. Now we are in No Man’s Land. That week between Christmas and the new year. What do you do during this week? Do you take down the tree or do you wait until January (or February) for that? Do you look back at what you’ve done (or haven’t done) this year?

We are now officially into the heart of the Holiday Season and you know what that means, right? Cookies. And presents. But mostly cookies. Last year I made caramels and tried to make some other candies but this year, I am going to stick to what I know: baking — not to be confused with bacon, though I know a little bit about that too.
