I also thought it would be a cute idea to make homemade cinnamon marshmallows to go with it... That was a mistake. The marshmallows are fine, but it looks like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man came all over my kitchen and I'm pretty sure my hand mixer isn't going to pull through this one. Just a heads up, store bought marshmallows are swell. This past week I’ve been doing the dry hot cocoa mix thing and using pretty old tea tins that I spray painted gold and tied with green ribbon.

My favorite "homemade liquor" is from AllRecipes. If you're a fan of Bailey's, it's incredible! (Although it comes out quite thick if made by the recipe, great for topping ice cream! I usually sub half the cream for milk to make it more drinkable.) http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Homemade-Irish-Cream-Liqueur/Detail.aspx Great ideas! My favorite “homemade liquor” is from AllRecipes.

I had a biscotti-giving Christmas a few years back. Seemed a good idea--until I realized that I didn't have enough baking sheets, cooling racks, or counter space for the four batches I'd committed to making that night (at the last minute, of course). NEVER. AGAIN. Bread, trail mixes, and pretty food gifts all the way from now on! .-= Laura Georgina´s last blog ..<a href="http://laurageorgina.wordpress.com/2009/12/03/joyful-reunion-with-my-camera-part-2-trini-christmas-music-night-and-30-at-30/" rel="nofollow">Joyful Reunion With My Camera, Part 2–Trini Christmas Music Night and 30 at 30!</a> =-.

I will definitely try the beer bread (love that you can make a million different flour/beer/mix-in combos) for some of my family. They like their drink so sounds like a good match!

We just brought 2 dozen eggs fresh from our free-ranging hens down to my mom's for Thanksgiving. They loved it! I'll have to check out the beer bread recipe, too. Good thing I have all those bread pans. :) I love the farm fresh idea. We just brought 2 dozen eggs fresh from our free-ranging hens down to my mom’s for Thanksgiving. They loved it!
