Econ take home final is due Monday. I’m going to try to have it pretty much wrapped up today, probably sleep on it, reread/polish the writeup tomorrow and send it in. THEN, then! I will be done with this damn semester.
I’m not really feeling the xmas spirit yet. We’ve even had our annual Die Hard viewing. But yesterday, I dusted off the xmas sculpture and covered it in lights and snoopy ornaments. I think that helped.
We’ll probably be fine once we start wrapping presents. I made a double batch of apple cinnamon scones Monday, and just ate the last one. Double batch is the way to go – 8 is not enough and the kitchen is already a mess. (I make them serially, since the cuisinart is pretty full with just one batch.) The first roll recipe came out good – but more… sturdy than my ideal rolls. I’m really looking for your soft soft cafeteria rolls here. But it was an amazing relief to make rolls that were more than barely edible.
I think it may be time for pumpkin gingerbread – round 2: the cupcakes (and a loaf to freeze, since we didn’t quite eat two loaves before the last bit went bad)

BTW – I have made two double batches of the pumpkin gingerbread twice now. Thanks so much for posting that recipe. I recommend putting cream cheese icing on top. If you make it in a cake pan say for pot lucks, it goes over well also. I took it to the Pumpkin Shoot at Eadric & Cindy’s, then to Bordermarch when I did the potatoe soup dinner. I divided it up into 3 slightly smaller size loaf pans (8 x ??) because a single batch made so much.
