Because I didn't get around to posting any of them earlier.
Rose Hall, Jamaica This photo doesn't really do it justice, but it's the one of the only ones I took with my digital camera. It might be years before I develop the dozen or so I took with my other camera. So, so beautiful. Did I mention that the pool and beach chairs came with a little flag that you raised when you were ready for another daiquiri? Well, they did. Long live the Ritz-Carlton.
Thanksgiving flowers.
I made candy! The week before I left town for Christmas I made Buckeyes (chocolate and peanut butter balls) for some of my coworkers. They're just peanut butter, butter and powdered sugar covered in chocolate. I sort of combined my mother's recipe and one I found in the paper and I had too much sugar and too little peanut butter, so the above mixture was actually too dry. It was the consistency of very cold, dry snow. Delicious, peanut butter-flavored snow, but too fine to roll into balls. But I fixed it. (And yes, I did get sugar everywhere.) Plus, I never knew how much one might lick ones fingers while making treats. (Sorry if you got some and that sentence grossed you out.)
I'm chilling my balls. My fridge looks so sad. Why, whatever made you think I'm a single girl? The Diet Coke and calorie-free butter spray perhaps?
I don't really know what I'm doing.
My badass makeshift double broiler. I'm a genius!
"I smell peanut butter!"
My Christmas cards. The holder is exploding now, mostly thanks to the M+1 exchange! And yes, that Texas ornament stays on my doorknob year round.
Christmas plates. I made these, and a few other things, circa 2000/2001 when I was big into my pottery painting kick. Okay, okay, so my mom painted the top one.
This one is my favorite.
My one lonely stocking.
My Christmas tree!
