Christmas Came Early...And Apparently Santa Thought I Was Good!

Oh, what a day...the day after Thanksgiving is always a tough one. All those yummy left overs...nowhere to go but into the tummy! So I'm afraid that means there isn't much new to talk about unless you want to hear about how yummy they were all over again. But, I won't put you through that...I'm too nice that way.

On another note, I'm visiting my parents' house today. This will be the only time I will be in before the Christmas season and Christmas has come early. My parents went ahead and gave me my present and I am so excited! Apparently Santa was listening in on a prior conversation I had with my mom when I was lamenting about wanting a Oster CKSTBRTW20 2 lb Expressbake Bread Maker as he and his trusty elfin friends delivered one here early just for us! I cannot wait to get it back to Texas and start making bread...I just don't know which recipe to try first. After looking around and many many recipes I stumbled upon a simple Italian bread recipe at FatFreeRecipes.com. Nice, simple, tasty. Yep, think that's what I'll try first...can't wait! Oh, and did I mention that I'll be styling while baking? My niece gave me a present today as well-she made me the prettiest apron in her sewing circle class...I am quite excited as I have kind of developed a thing for aprons here lately.

Hope everyone is having a safe and happy extended weekend. I'm off to dream of bread. Happy MoFo to all and to all a good night!
