It's the "getting things started" part that's tricky. Not to mention the 'hitting a snag' part that does me in.

I was binding a quilt, and I mis-sewed the label twice. TWICE. *screams*

I did persuade my mother out of making truffles, but I figure I could go over, take the ingredients from her, and do it myself. Not at her house, because she'll hover, trying to take over.

Things I want to cook (even though I don't have any social things on to cook for, other than Christmas Day and Boxing Day):
- pistachio crackle biscuits (cookies)
- 'bishop's cake' (a fruit cake that looks like stained glass)
- the truffles I mentioned before

IDK, this is that weird time of year when everything is a bit up in the air and I'm not quite sure what's happening in my life or in my brain...

I haven't heard of a Bishop's Cake. Sounds pretty.

Yeah. My mom is like that, too.

"HUGS"

Baking is generally uplifting. The stained glass looking cake sounds good.

I looked up bishop's cake because it sounded lovely and it is lovely. What a nice way to use up all the bits and bobs of holiday fruit and nuts.
