Blah

So I'm behind on reading my flist right now since I've been really busy baking the last few days. I had to make 2 pies for the homeless and then make food my family's Chanukah party. Because my sister could get lower airfare if she flew in Christmas Day we decided to have a big celebration for Chanukah yesterday. And oddly, this was probably the best Christmas I have ever had. Usually I really am not fond of Christmas because everything closes and there is nothing to watch on TV but Christmas specials. Things have gotten better with the advent of the internet but it still gets sort of lonely/boring. Before this my best Christmas had been the one in Japan, but this one was actually nicer because I spent it with my family ♥

I made yummy carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, mashed potatoes and cranberry bread. I so so so love cranberry bread. I need to alter the recipe enough so that I can share it and then make another few loaves once I buy more cranberries. I think chopping the cranberries is the worst part of making it I want to make some more carrot cake for Erin too and maybe pumpkin cookies!

The husband and I are almost done watching FMA we have just 3 episodes and the movie left.
