What a long day of baking in the kitchen my wife and I have just had.
I started out making bread dough for three loaves around 11 a.m. , and then into a separate batch of dough for buns called Cloverleaf rolls that are baked in muffin tins. Everything turned out great as you might be able to see from the photos. My wife made sugar cookies and I helped roll out the dough for that. They are very colourful and taste good as well.
We are busy getting things ready for Christmas dinner on Friday. I will be cooking a turkey for the first time ever. My mother-in-law bought a fresh bird for the occasion and I will be brining it in a salt/sugar solution for about ten hours and then roast it the next day. mmmmmmm...can't wait.
Tonight, Heidi also made lazy holopchi in the oven. A fantastic choice of comfort food to end our day. Tomorrow I am making doughnuts from a recipe that my mom used to make for us when we were kids. My in-laws will be over in the afternoon to snack on these with hot chocolate and marshmallows before they head out to church. Afterward were all gathering for a late dinner at my brother-in-law and his wife's home.
I'm already feeling the waist on my jeans getting tighter. :/

Oh, man, you guys are way too sickly sweet! tee hee! Oh, yeah, did you buy some Pepto Bismol and Gravol just in case the bird doesn't quite work out?! You don't want you and your guests to bring in the new year with food poisoning! Kidding, I know you can cook so you'll be fine. hee hee! Merry Christmas!
