Sounds wonderful SBG!
I got out my recipes for Christmas Dinner, and cookies and made a list of the ingredients that I did not have on hand. DH and I went out this morning and got my ham, and some of the stuff I needed. I will go out again tomorrow when he is golfing and get the rest. I do not bake as much as I use to. I ask the grandkids (the ones in their 20's and working) to bring desserts, so it relieves me of doing all the baking that I did for so many years. I still do make my potato rolls and honey whole wheat rolls, as my grandkids always ask for them on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thank goodness for my bread machine, as it cranks out the bread dough for me.
