Christmas baking 🎄 Who wants some 💖

@Lilred2289 lol

@Lilred2289 Happy Holidays.

@JustGoneNow you too lovey! ❤️💋

@CountScrofula Awww thank you. You gotta make your own pastry. I use my Aunt’s recipe, she taught me how to bake.

I would bake you anything you wanted 💖.

@iamonfire696 Back atcha! I'm more of a cook than a baker but I got some moves

@CountScrofula You can cook and I will make the dessert 💖

@iamonfire696 I say that fully knowing that I baked my own batch of christmas cookies this year and ate some. I'm a hypocrite. 😋 Seriously those look good. I don't havethe patience to make that many different batches of cookies. Though I do make an effort to do cookie baking with a friend or someone on a saturday sometime in December as a tradition.
This year, I just made shortbread cookies and a cookie with dates and almonds. I'm not a great baker tbh.
I used to make gingerbread cookies and decorated them extravagantly into different pop culture people and have them guess who it is before they eat, but that was too much this year.

I do have a fun New Year's/Christmas tradition of making Tanghulu. It's a neat adventure with kids too, for them to dip fruit on a stick as long as you help them. Sugar glass fruit is so fun and yummy and pretty easy to make as long as you have a candy thermometer

@Scribbles I baked one or two things everyday and I made my kids help me lol. They got a lesson in baking.

That Tanghulu sounds really cool. I might have to try that.

@iamonfire696 I just posted a story about Tanghulu actually. It's a 2 to one ratio usually of 2 parts sugar to one part water, that I've found works the best, if that's helpful.


Aw! Making awesome memories with the kids. :)
I have fond memories of cooking with my mother and grandmother.

@chuck7882 Thank you. Merry Christmas to you too 💖

@iamonfire696 You'd be a welcome visitor :)

@theoldschoola aww thanks

@iamonfire696 Then we can explore all those things on your naughty list together.

@Barefooter25 I appreciate you all here. I wish I could share 💖

@SW-User thank you 💖

@iamonfire696 When we installed ours they had to come back and recalibrate ours. The unit with the 8 burners and double oven below is propane, and the wall ovens are electric. It took them a while to get them to cook alike.

@TexChik mine is not that fancy lol

@iamonfire696 He did it. He is the cook/worked 18 months in France and Italy as student chef. He said the work is grueling , long hours, lots of stress, and thankless...but he was there to learn. As such he has pans and knives he would rather I (or anyone) not touch. He wanted a professional kitchen when we remodeled the farm house. Big counters, under cabinet lighting, lots of plugs, 2 sinks...The ladies (his cousins and aunts) all come here to cook together for the holidays. The fridge is huge . I never thought it could be filled up but I was wrong. It can be.

@thisguy20 thanks

@iamonfire696 I need to lose weight, but I would like to try one, It is just true.

@dsrice I am a good cook and baker

@iamonfire696 I am sure you are, I would like to cook something for you also, You are probably a lot better than I am.

@SW-User I really like baking. I hope you have a lovely Christmas with you son 💖🎄💖.

@iamonfire696 Stay safe *hugs* hope you at least relax some though 🌹

@Rilyn Thanks lovely. Just need to get rid of these infections then I can get back to feeling like my normal crappy self lol

@iamonfire696 Hope it gets resolved soon. That's just exhausting but you're amazing all the same 🌹💓

@iamonfire696 i made chocolate fudge for the first time this Christmas. That pushed my cooking skills to their limit.

@Raymuundo I bet you do 🤭

@iamonfire696 you know me…

@Raymuundo yes I do 🤭
