Tomorrow I plan to make the very last of my Czech Christmas cookies for my Czech Christmas cookies post series. I also plan to make some marzipan, which I will use to make little marzipan hedgehogs. Once I've done this, I will post one additional post that shows just the photos of each cookie/confection with accompanying descriptions and links to the recipe posts. All have been made, photographed, and have tweaked recipes that include US and European ingredient measurements. There will be 10 total cookie recipes/confections, plus a Christmas sweet bread recipe. This has been quite a big project! Frankly, I'll be glad when it is over. That won't stop my Christmas cookie baking, though. I will likely make a couple more that I didn't make this year, but are already represented on my blog. Then, I will likely end the culinary posts and go back to posting about mental health issues, reflections, prose poetry, other articles, and stories.


Today we go to Philly for my hubby's regular eye exam. I hate these appointments, because they last almost 2 hours each time. The drive to Philly is also unpleasant.
