It's beginning to smell a lot like Christmas!

This was a good weekend! Friday night was Robb's office Christmas party. And him and Doe (one of his co-workers, Hi Doe!) requested that I leave the camera in the car. FINE! However I did have my cell phone camera and the place looked so pretty... So I couldn't resist. GREAT prime rib!
On Saturday morning, Meri & I went out to my bestie's house for the annual cookie bake goodies/decorating with a bunch of other ladies from our church. Some ladies decorated the tree. Meri worked on a clove/orange pomander ball. It smells wonderful! We ladies left a bulk of our goodies there for her to use throughout the Christmas season. My family and I visited her again yesterday and I may or may not have eaten my weight in chocolate... I'm not going to say... but the scale will not like me for several months I'm sure. AND I'll need to sew myself some new clothes or let some out.My cookies were Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies and due to the fact that I used real butter instead of shortening, they ended up looking like little hats! So before they cooled too much, I folded up the sides so now they look like tri-corner hats. I put some chocolate over the top and they taste great! I'll know better next time. I'll share the recipe another day this week.

I also made the guts for some truffles, but it was a different recipe that I usually make so they didn't turn out. Little dabs of chocolate sitting in her freezer not hardening at all. dang. Actually while typing this, I may have come up with an idea on how to fix that... Maybe microwaving it all back together again until it's all bubbly? hmmm... I'll try that tomorrow when I'm there again.

I've got to tell you about our game nights this weekend, but I've been gabby enough this morning and don't have time. Tune in tomorrow!

What did you guys do this weekend?
