Happy New Year!

We started out the new year with a treat from the mother of the Man of the House.  She’s Dutch and sent us a box of  hagelslag (dark chocolate sprinkles).  In Holland people put these on buttered toast.   We used them on sandwich bread.  Delicious!   It was a fun way to start out 2010.

Merry Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
We’re going to have family over for dinner.   We’re going to have ham with an apricot glaze.  I’ll use the apricot bread recipe to make dinner rolls.  I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Happy Fourth of July

I hope that you have a fun Fourth of July tomorrow.  Remember that it’s not too late to make hamburger buns for your cookout.
