I've accomplished the four necessaries: chocolate-mint layered bars, coconut macaroons, rugelach (see), and molasses cut-out cookies. Leaving us two weeks to bake optional fripperies. Fun!
You're so lucky to be so far along! We've been spending so much time helping my daughter with college & scholarship applications and trying to get necessary home repairs finished so we can host Christmas Eve for my in-laws and Christmas Day for my family, that I'm way behind on my baking! My daughter (who just applied to the Baking & Pastry Arts program at the Culinary Inst. of America) and I are going to try to get it all done this weekend. Wish me luck!
Baking - yummy! I made rugelach once, and everyone liked it except me! I suppose I should get out the recipe again and give it another try. Those mint chocolate bars sound heavenly, though.
I am an evangelical Christian. I have two daughters whom I homeschool: Bella (15), and Daisy (8), and three older children: Giles (21), a college graduate, Felix (19), a college junior, and Clara (17), a college freshman. I'm 42 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

We're going to do our gingerbread cut-outs today after school with a friend. That's our standard. After that, who knows?!
Please share your recipe for chocolate-mint bars.

Mmm...chocolate-mint layered bars!Sounds delectable.
I second with Julie.
I only wish my list of "necessaries" were as short and as easy as yours.

We always called the cookies in your photo 'scuffles' and now I wonder why. So good though:)
