Some of you already know my cooking doesn't stop once I close the shop for the day and walk away from that 7-foot oven out there.
The Christmas season is a very busy time in my kitchen, and it's a long standing family tradition -- I make anywhere from 10 to 25 different kinds of cookies, candy and other delights with the sole purpose of giving most of it away to my friends.
I started today at about 11:00 with Nutmeg Logs, Billy's personal favorite ... so they're usually the ones I make first to keep the "When're you making mine?" to a minimum). You can see there's already a pretty healthy dent in the results.

Then it was a big batch of 7-Layer Bars (back) and Holiday Nuggets (front) ...

And whipped up some Cream Cheese Candy ...

... and a batch of secret-recipe Pecan Fudge ...

... and amidst all that, a roast with the usual fixins simmering all afternoon ('cause I knew I wouldn't feel like making supper after being out there all dayum day).

And now just look at this! Poor baby all wiped out and snoring on the couch at 8:15! Too funny.

If that doesn't deserve a harumph, I don't know what does. :-D
Merry Christmas ya'll! If you're in the area, stop by and I'll load you up with a plate of goodies you'll never forget.
