Yuletide tidings.....  


Wow. Christmas was fun! Daunie slept in my bed with me on the floor on christmas eve and I couldn't sleep well so I woke up at 5 and played rollercoaster tycoon. Then everyone got up and we opened presents at 7. Here is everything I recieved.....
Sewing machine *
Thread and seam ripper (which I opened before the machine, then I knew what it was! ha)
The ultimate uncheese cookbook*
His girl friday dvd
of human bondage dvd
Casablanca 2 disc dvd *
Target giftcard (the 3rd of 4!!)
Pioneer bonnet * (I love me bonnets!! I have 2 now and am going to sew one)
Ethiopian instrument music record (from chris)
Landlord tee shirt (from chris-his boy band)
A HUGE 6 pound! tub of nutritional yeast (from daunie. this was embarrasingly huge....but will be awesome to whip out during a cooking show)
The Beatrix Potter country cookbook

I think that is all I recieved! Daunie got an "empire red" kitchenaid mixer. And wow did we put it to work!
We made desserts and a dip to take to granny's christmas.
I made pecan pie truffles from VegNews magazine (nov+dec 08-recipe by hannah kaminsky)
they were a hit ! and beautiful!
Daunie made gingerbread cupcakes with lemony buttercream frosting from vegan cupcakes take over the world. They were awesome!!!! The lemon frosting was really tangy!
And the last thing in the kitchenaid we made was our famous christmastime olive spread. It isn't vegan, but would be easily veganized (olives, mayo, cream cheese, pecans) spread on pump. bread.
At Granny's I recieved clothes and my 4th target giftcard (thinking about buying my digital camera i need for college with them all added up!)
Kodie came and he was stealing my shoe with my cousin Isaac.
Well tis about all.....here are some pictures of the marvelous truffles and gingerbread cupcakes!

What next?
