sarahanne, welcome!

New car, shopping going well, and other things...I'm glad to read about the positives on the previous page. Those with some health and other concerns, please take care.

Yesterday I went a little "nutty" at the regular grocery store and a Polish deli. I spent around $300 on food. The bulk of my expenditures were on Christmas cookie ingredients, which includes special flour, special sugar, more cocoa, baking chocolate, dried fruit, and 3 1/2 lbs of nuts. I also bought various cookie molds and cutters. I have in my mind that I'm going to bake six different kinds of Christmas cookies this coming week, some more than one batch. In my head, I've been saying "Mother-in-law used to make 12, so six is fine", but suddenly I've grown quite intimidated by this grand project.
