What do I want to make for dinner?

My parents are coming for Christmas, and they should be arriving on Friday sometime. I want to become a "Nicole tornado" and clean the house, but the reality is that there's really not much to do in preparation for their arrival.

*twiddles thumbs*

I really should bake, though. I've got tons of cookie stuff, plus I bought ingredients for Puppy Chow and two Apple Blackberry Crumble Pies (I bet I know someone who would want the extra one!) But I'm just not too keen on actually getting everything out and making my kitchen all dirty.

Le sigh.

Three more Christmas cards came in the mail today, including one from happysmiles01. I also received a nifty Christmas e-card from scribeguy. Thanks, both of you!

We received a replacement package from HersheyGifts.com today. Er... I realize that I never wrote about the first package, eh? Well, my Aunt Edith surprised us with a huge box early last week from that company, and inside was a very large snowman cookie jar - only he was broken in about eight pieces! His head/top was intact, so I'd saved it, and I took pictures of the damage in case she needed them for a replacement to be sent out. She didn't, and they shipped us another one on Monday. It arrived today, though in more pieces than the first one had! But we have DOUBLE the chocolate candy that was inside the two snowmen (and it is a LOT!), and I have two perfectly cute snowman heads. I think I might use them as a pair of bookends - heehee.

My Draco icon cheers me up. It really does.

About that dinner...

*laughs* Wow, that IS a lot! Actually, most of that is already on my list, but I would love to cook with you sometime. You sound a lot like me when it comes to cooking! Only bad part is, I'm making all this stuff for just me and my roommate...I'll have so many left overs!

Yes, we need to get together for a cook-a-thon and bake-a-thon!
