I AM NOT A BAKER. Oh I feel so much better getting that off my chest. I love to cook, I collect cookbooks, I love to try new recipes, and I love to have my family sit around the dinner table. Personally that is how I show my family I love them, to get their bellies good and full. BUT I despise baking. I think it is a waste of time and making cookies is the worse! It always takes more than one bowel (what is up with that) and then once you get it all mixed up and on the pans you're still not done, you have to babysit them while they cook in the oven. THEN my husband has them all ate in 1.2 days. There is nothing about baking that I like. Which is so sad for Farmboy cause he grew up in a house where his mother baked all the time. Even now she always has cookies, or pies, or a bar of some sort to munch on and at home he has store bought.
If you remember from one of my post not to long ago, it spoke of getting into the Christmas spirit and it must have hit me hard because while I was at the store yesterday I bought some Hershey kisses to make peanut butter blossoms (one of Farmboy's favorite) and last night we had a family baking night.
I set Farmboy and Lil Hoff to work unwrapping all the kisses while I mixed the dough up. (once again having to use two bowels. I hate doing dishes worse than baking)
I just love Lil Hoff's face in this photo. Say what??
We had to remind Lil Hoff that he couldn't eat the kisses....a lot
Then I let him eat off the beater. First time and he was hooked.
He cleaned it off. "Here Momma!"
And then he got to help daddy put the kisses on the cookies. Totally a family effort.
Today I am thankful for this time we got to spend together.
