Christmas? Cactus
Guess we’ll call it a New Years Cactus this year. Whatever the holiday, this little cactus is the best bloomer I’ve ever had. Can’t explain what went right.

Post Xmas Cookies
Too much dough, not enough time, so we made some.. Christmas vacation cookies. Still the same dough problems – no structure! But flavor was spot on thanks to the special vanilla confectioners sugar. And yes, everyone washed their hands.. A LOT.

Still Foggy
Next day, same weather. Good ole New England. Here, the center of town has a rather impressive monument for fallen minutemen. It was recently powerwashed and refurbished – a hot item on some town tickets.. but looked great in the fog.

Miscalculated Cookies
Tried to put a spin on the crescent cookies – by going gluten free for Kim. Little did I realize, these things would not hold their form very well. So the crescents became.. blobs. Delicious blobs, at least. Just not good enough to share – next year!
