Holiday Baking Music
I'm gearing up for a full on baking extravaganza, and I like to listen to certain music while I'm rocking around the kitchen. I thought I'd share. The music, I mean. Because I don't know how to upload baked goods.
How're you doing?

Sometimes when I’m out in the world, I put in my earbuds and listen to music. I have lots of music in my device of devicing, and also Pandora. Sometimes instead of music, I turn on my Eddie Izard station. I am rather fond of him. Don’t tell anyone, but I may have a tiny fan girl crush on him.
The Eddie Izard station plays quite a few other comedians, and I’m often laughing.
Turns out when one is wandering up and down the aisles of the local grocery store, chuckling and laughing out loud for no discernible reason, one makes other shoppers nervous. Turn their cart around and go the other way nervous.

I may have mentioned this before, but I tend to drive on the faster side of the speed limit. Imagine my astonishment when I was toddling along a two lane road at just over what the law allowed and someone decided that I was too slow and should be passed on the left on a blind curve, no passing zone.
They didn’t benefit much from their foolery - they got to the light about 12 seconds before I did. Yes, I snapped a photo. Rude and dangerous = public shaming, and they’re lucky they didn’t have a head-on collision because that’s a busy road.

We’ve already had our annual cookie swap, but I still have a lot of baking to do. I’ll be making snickerdoodles, oatmeal-everything cookies, white trash cookies, and possibly some variety of chocolate/white chocolate bark and crack. The toffee/chocolate kind, not the legally dubious stuff. Do you have a holiday cooking/treat tradition?

I’ve never been much for Chia Pets, but I may have to make an exception.
