But what I am doing is making these, and some sugar cookies too.
You are probably wondering, wow, she (MsB) never posts much
things other than sock updates. Well it is quickly approaching the festive time of year and I am not only MsB of Socks Made On 88, but I am also someone who does other things as well. Today I am baking! These are traditional treats of MrB's family at Christmastime.
They are called Mocha Cakes, and I am not such why....they should be called Almond Balls in my opinion but who am I to ague with family history. I am also making sugar cookies that is from my family tradition. I already made 6 dozen but need more. The others are for family members in their Christmas packages.
Now speaking of cookies and putting them in Christmas Gift packages, I bet you can guess what else is in those parcels too? I dont have to give you many clues, do I? This act of giving will continue also as a tradition I am sure, as the years go on.... This act was very much a staple in MrB's family gift giving from his mother, and that act of having wool socks and getting them Christmas will now do a full circle! What better gifts to get in my opinion are the homemade ones, socks and cookies, where can you go wrong?
So I am sitting here thinking, and I can recollect that I never as a child got wool socks for Christmas, ever! I wonder why that was because I certainly did live in a climate, in Western Canada where I could have used them. You don't want to know how many times I froze my toes out in -30 degrees celius weather outdoors skating on the ice covered dug outs, then come indoors and unflaw my feet over the heat register. Perhaps having wool socks would have helped, perhaps they would not have, regardless I still would have gone and we will never know for sure now. This MsB will not be skating any time again soon!
So I have taken a break from baking,and now I have to get back at it doing a batch of sugar cookies, and I promise that I will do some work on Socks Made On 88 too, as I mentioned before I do have to tag the socks that posted pictures of earlier. MrB did some cranking earlier so you know what that means?
