Well, it’s been a long few days, but I’m pretty much in the home stretch, unless I’m suddenly motivated to do something more.
For some reason I decided to try one more attempt at fudge, hoping the temperature it set at might be why it wasn’t turning out right. It seems not to be the case, and for this year I think I have to admit fudge defeat.
As for all my other cooking ventures, it seems I did something wrong with pretty much everything I made, but not so wrong that my friends and family won’t still enjoy it. The bulk of the goodies have been bread that instead of making one loaf, I poured into a tray of mini loaves. Trying to figure out proportions with that wasn’t easy, and I ended up with a few very short loaves.
Still, in the last week I’ve made:
5 mini loaves of vegan banana bread (three of them I added chocolate chips to for nonvegans)
7 mini loaves of pistachio, cranberry and golden raisin bread
12 mini loaves of orange, cranberry walnut bread
6 mini loaves of green tomato bread
Approx. 60 jam cookies
Approx. 40 mint meringues
Now it’s just packing it all up and doing dishes!
