Saturday I spent most of the day in the kitchen making cookies (gingersnaps and chocolate chips) some of which will be sent on to my grandma this week, others for us to enjoy around the house. This was my first attempt at gingersnaps- I grated in fresh ginger and ooh, ooh- they are good!
On Saturday we went up to Truckee to help make tamales with family. 75lbs of masa later and we had tamales of all kinds coming out our ears. There were pork, turkey, potato and black bean and cheese. Red sauce and green sauce. A ton of people, family and friends, were in the kitchen and it was so good to be around all that energy. For me this is what the holidays are all about.
For more pictures of the action head over to the set.
The in-laws through me a birthday dinner and my sis-in-law made a Divine chocolate Kahlua cake that was heavenly.
I also got my order from Moo in on Saturday. I am really happy with the quality of the greeting cards that they make. I had so much fun poring over the mini moo cards as well. My mind is spinning with ideas on how to use them. I put up our silly tinsel trees and I actually got to go to a yoga class and be a student, can I tell you how sore I am?
