Re: holiday baking/ Re: I may be mean

[Guest guest]

I have to think of something to replace that good smell feeling.

////

You are so right! I was going to the farmer to get eggs and dh said " we'll

be needing more for baking soon. " I said, " what baking? " He said,

" Christmas cookies " I said, " oh I'm not making any this year " . I can't I

simply can't. I am just now s/f and I am not willing to tempt this.

I do LOVE Yankee Candles, pricey but they are worth every penny, they are

the most fragrant, imo. However, I love apple/spice and they don't have

that. I don't drink coffee, but the hazelnut coffee is wonderful!

I would LOVE suggestions for replacements. It's a hard void to fill, cookie

trays and delivering them when caroling = tradition for us.

Hugs,

Chex Mix. No sugar. I double the nuts.

And I don't graze it. I issue myself a bowl and that is one of my allotted

meals.

I give away about 7 tons of it in little containers.

Try an orange with cloves sticking in it, that smells good. I make my own

potpourri, with orange skins, cloves and cinnamon, I put those in a small pan

with water and simmer on low for a while.

Well last year I found the key to the good baking smell, and it's

relatively cheap and cleaner than potpourri, way cheaper than candles. Every

year at this time, Celestial Seasonings comes out with their holiday teas.

Last year they had one called Gingerbread Spice or something to that effect.

Got it at Safeway on sale, and whenever I want the baking smell in my house,

or just a really warm, homey feeling, I drop a teabag in a pot of water on

the back of the stove on Low, and it smells good for HOURS. I imagine you

could use one of those electric potpourri pots the same way, and it's easier

cleanup than potpourri because the good smelly stuff is in those nice neat

teabags.

Of course I will confess, I bake. Too much. But darn, I'm good at it.

OH what a great idea. I can't stand the taste of that tea. but you are right

it does smell good. Never thought of just leaving it on the stove for the

smell. GREAT GREAT. There are a few other Christmassy ones they have too.

I will look into it.
