It is cold and gusty outside today, so it was a good day to be in the kitchen. And I managed to get some things done. The cranberry relish is my mother's recipe. It's just cranberries, red unpeeled apples, large oranges, and a bit of sugar. I have enough for us, for my sister, and for my niece.
The sugar cookies are from that imitation Lofthouse cookie recipe that I had mentioned before. They are good. I don't decorate well at all and decided to just go back and forth with the icing. We like them and I'll be making them again. I'm going to keep the recipe. Mix the dough, roll into balls, flatten, and bake. Easy (except for the decorating part).
Two loaves of sourdough bread that I'll cube and toast on Wednesday night to use in our stuffing on Thanksgiving. It seemed so silly to go out and buy a loaf of sourdough bread when I've got perfectly good starter in the fridge! The slashes don't look that great as I don't have a lame; I had to use a butcher knife.
Rick moved things around in the living room today to make room for the Christmas tree next weekend. And then he vacuumed the house while I worked in the kitchen. Even though we didn't get outside, we still accomplished things.
