Made eight pans of caramels with only one fail! Yeah!
Yes, I did have some fails, we all did. When making candy you cannot multitask, which I do and then I screw it up!
But all in all, it was a total success, and we made a lot of People happy.
Five pans of peanut brittle - one fail!
This took us almost three days and we made 18 dozen rosettes.
I do not know how many cookies and 10 lbs. of potatoes for lefsa!
Sissy made all of the cookie batters, and I did most of the candy. Little Sis made the lefsa, which is quite a chore. Husband and one of Kim's friends and I spent 6 hours making rosettes. We were a stinky greasy bunch.
By day number two my feet had a heartbeat of their own!
Sissy and I finally got everything delivered yesterday and that was a big relief.
We wanted to do it Wednesday, but the windstorm put the kibosh on that!
That was one wicked storm and the damage all over the Northwest is bad.
Daniel and I fared well, but the house next door lost most of their shingles, which ended up in our backyard.
The ground cloth took a beating where the driveway will go and that is an easy fix, but Sissy and her neighbor's fence is a goner.
We are waiting on an estimate and are prepared.
Today I must go and get Sissy's soda on my Husband and my apps. Need to go to the post office and also do a small grocery shop as I am out of a few important things.
I do not want to leave the house as it is so damn windy, and I hate the wind, but needs must.
I think I am basically prepared for Christmas. I have the filet mignon ordered and I will pick that up next Tuesday. Lil Sis is providing the Lobster; I will make the Cesar salad and round this out with a baked potato and call it wonderful!
Sissy will be at her eldest's with the entire family and Husb and I will be here with Lil Sis and her husband.
WE are looking forward to a quiet Christmas with lots of good food and laughs.
Now I am off to get my errands done and then home to read and relax!
Hugs.
Kay
