Christmas Eve Eve!

Had a lovely afternoon baking with my daughter (who is home safe and sound- thank goodness!). We made chocolate chip cookies and wonderful florentines, which I have never made before. They were so yummy I'll have to make them again. I don't think these will last very long. Our lovely dog is bemused by all the activity. She feels compelled to bark at any kitchen appliances and is often found just sitting in the kitchen sniffing the lovely smells. She hasn't realised that none of this food is for her! Poor love!
All the food for the big day is safely defrosting quietly in cool corners of the house ..... retrieved from the big freezer in the garage.
