I've been in the process of working on this post now for a week and a half. I've decided it's time to get it done. I am an accountant and January 1 starts our busy season so in the last week I've worked 13 more hours than I generally have been. So I've been a little tired and I go home at night and sit on the couch not doing anything and go to bed at 9. But anyways, back to my post.
I feel like I should get one of those Christmas ornaments like you get for "Baby's First Christmas". We got one as a gift for our first Christmas we were married. The figurine who is me has blond curly hair but she's super skinny so I guess that's OK. And she looks tall.
I thought I'd post a few things about Christmas. My mother-in-law made a gluten free lasagna that was delicious! My usual lasagna usually has a lot of tomato sauce and not so much cheese. Hers had a lot of cheese and less tomato sauce and I think I like that better. She used some fresh mozzarella and ricotta. I love ricotta! She also made a loaf of Pamela's gluten free bread for supper and it was also really good. The next day I toasted it for a chicken salad sandwich. That made a good sandwich. You couldn't even taste that it wasn't real bread.
When we were at my mom's she made gluten free chicken noodle soup. Instead of egg noodles she put in gluten free shells. It was so good. I never make homemade chicken noodle soup.
We went to my mom's again yesterday for a family dinner. For dessert we had gluten free yellow cupcakes from a recipe out of Ann Byrn's book The Cake Mix Doctor Bakes Gluten Free. I've used her books for regular cakes and always loved them. These cupcakes were great! They were a boxed yellow gluten free cupcake with some stuff added. It made them taste homemade. I had two! My birthday's coming up and my husband is making the same recipe for me except adding confetti to it. He always makes me a batch of funfetti cupcakes with rainbow chip frosting for my birthday treats for work so he's going to see if this recipe can be the new substitute. I'm looking forward to them. I hope the people at the Sterling co-op are, too, because that's what you're getting this year.
When I started this blog we were only a couple days into the new year and I felt like I should comment on that. So here it is. I guess I'm looking forward to 2011. I don't know why I wouldn't. My grandma asked me the other day if I wondered what would happen this year. I guess I hadn't thought of that. It was a Deep Thought by Grandma Arlene. I'm know I'm looking forward to April 16th and that's as far as I've gotten. That's the day my job gives me my life back. We're also thinking about going to Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. I'm pretty excited about that! I found an all gluten free bakery in Philadelphia I might just check out and I think we might go to the QVC studios for a tour. I love QVC! We're also considering another trip to Disney World. I hope everyone has a happy new year and good things come to you this year. I guess we'll see what happens!
