our goodie-factory is in full swing and there is really no day passing without at least one member of the family standing in the kitchen and whipping up a delicious treat, yesterday it was apple bread, today apricot goodies and caramel toffies. on monday i tried a new kind of almond-crisp cookie with a tiny meringue hat (sorry no photos have been taken...), they turned out very sweet, i'm sure liked by all the kids and for me it's an extra together with a cup of espresso.
so far so good on the kitchen side, we are gearing up, there are a few more things in the planning, cranberries and oranges are in my fridge, also more creme and butter, eggs and chocolate, sounds promising to me. on the savory side there are two hams, green beans, potatoes and herbs being stocked up for christmas eve.
a good season laying ahead with two trips to visit grandparents and new years being away from all the hustle bustle.
from now on it's really just enjoying every moment and taking time to just being still. to be still, a moment of contemplation and being given a joy and expectation to celebrate the coming of our lord jesus which we remember and await for in.
