I tried taking the fruitcake out of the pan...no go except in pieces. So, I lined the pan, repacked the fruitcake into the pan. And now it lifts out without any problems. Of course, I now remembered my mother-in-law lining her pan with waxed paper when she made it...better late than never.
Remember this photo?
Well, all of that 'stuff' now looks like this...
I used to have large Christmas tins to keep the cookies and cupcakes in, but I gave them all away during one of my moves. These containers aren't are pretty, but they do the job. Remember, there are other items like the plum pudding, actually, I make cranberry pudding instead, and the icebox fruitcake are in the frig, not on the table.
I still have lefsa and krumkaka on my list of things to make. Those are on schedule for tomorrow.
I have actually been under the weather since Thursday...with cold symptoms. I am beginning to feel better and am now on the mend. I wanted to go out and visit all the places with special Christmas decorations but rather than go out in the rain, I think I will wait until next week. They will all be up so I can still see them.
The weather really is something. This Thursday is supposed to be in the low 70's...last I checked this was the third week in December. Think something is amiss? The highs this week are in the 60's and 70's. I think I can safely rule out a White Christmas here in NYC.
Hope all your plans are coming together...
I think mine are with some delays like being out and about...
New weekly journal post. Spend a few minutes just thinking about it.
Thanks for dropping by...
Relax, take it easy, enjoy the moment...it's a lot easier than stressing out...
Talk to you tomorrow...between Bowl Games!!!!
