    I'm passing out Jack Herer brownies

    I once helped Ms TBS with a cookie decorating group thing. But I had to stop when she found I made the gingerbread people were anatomically correct

    Baking day!

    Making Rugelach, gingerbread and Chex mix.

    Odd combo I know but ever since my neighbor who made Chex mix every holiday as a neighbor exchange gift moved away I've added it to my list. Homemade is so much better than the stuff you buy premade and for a once a year treat it's awesome. I will be handing it out via gift bags left on porches this year.

    For all your Chex mix desires visit: https://www.chex.com/recipes

    Celiac limits my options. But, I did figure out an excellent gluten-free tart crust recipe recently so I'm planning on doing a tarte au citron for Christmas day.

    So here's this year's baking story, and it is PEAK 2020.....

    This past Sunday, Mrs. Seano, myself , and the minis spent allllll day baking cookies. Lots and lots and lots of cookies. On Monday, the wife calls. We are dogsitting two of the crazy SIL's dogs, and somehow they got up on the counter and ate, oh IDK, about a third of them. Motherfuckers! Wife is pissed. No worries, she tells me, she threw the dogs out, and her and the minis finished putting all the remaining cookies in gift bags, then put all the bags in one of those big ass baking sheets, and the put THAT in the oven.....And then an hour later thing one starts the oven without looking in it first, melts all the plastic bags into the cookies, and almost burns the kitchen down......Fucking 2020 man. No Cookies for you!

    Ugh! Have done that too with leaving things in the oven but only things like my Dutch ovens from baking bread (they are soooooooooo hot when I take the bread out that I don't like to leave them to cool on the counter so I put them back in the oven after I turn it off).

    My daughter called it a jellyfish, but the upside down reindeer could also be made into C'Thulu in addition to the Kraken or an octopus.

    I am tweaking a Pumpkin Pie recipe I started on over T-giving.

    I used a mini-bottle of white rum to give it some flavor, worked out so well I am upping the ante with Myers dark rum.

    you could just add Kahlua to your whip cream. That's always good.

    Pretty happy with how this turned out. Looks a little pale in the pic but it's a rich golden yellow. Licks of the leftover custard off the spatula were delicious. Click image for larger version.

    Just now pulled some muffins out of the oven. Think I'm done baking for a while. On to Christimas Eve dinner and Christmas breakfast (both make-ahead dishes. Wild Mushroom lasagne and Strata with Sausage, Mushrooms, and Monterey Jack)
