She has it down to a science. She usually does a house that looks like wherever we're celebrating Christmas. Last year she did Northwestern's main library, since we were at her sister's in Evanston. She makes up a big batch of icing sugar and the kids spackle on lots of candy.John Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15518490709206494331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-56911386301402171252007-12-11T02:12:00.000-05:002007-12-11T02:12:00.000-05:00I would do it, I would honestly send the fudge in ...I would do it, I would honestly send the fudge in the pooper scoopers.

I swear though, what you described sounds so much like what my mom did every year when we were growing up. We would always eat everything before she could get it out the door. Especially the banana bread. Yum, banana bread...TheOneTrueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04756132396031048647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-47648166354189282122007-12-08T07:15:00.000-05:002007-12-08T07:15:00.000-05:00I read somewhere - I think my Rachael Ray mag - ab...I read somewhere - I think my Rachael Ray mag - about a woman's fix for her non setting fudge. She put it in little jars, affixed little labels calling it "Chocolate Butter" and played like that is what she had meant to make in the first place. People were wild for it and asked her to make it again the next year - of course the next year and all subsequent years since, the fudge has set up just fine.Mary Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08923591889426758103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-56593352578580918742007-12-07T23:26:00.000-05:002007-12-07T23:26:00.000-05:00You are a better woman than I am, thats for sure! ...You are a better woman than I am, thats for sure! I made birthday cupcakes - mini ones - on Monday. I woudl put a tablespoon into the cupcake pan, and then a tablespoon into my mouth. And I am on a diet, LOL. Can you imagine how many cupcakes we would have gotten if I wasn't on a diet. NONE. I would have eaten the whole batter probably.<BR/><BR/>I did find something on holiday eating tips - they are awesome.
