So, since this year I made so many Christmas candies - a lot of which I gave away to friends and colleagues - I decided not to bake industrial amounts of cookies for Christmas, just one very refined cake. A truffle cake, to be more accurate, which is a sponge cake, the flour in which is mostly replaced by ground almonds, and the creme is dark chocolate boiled in sweet cream and cooled in the fridge.
( So far so good... )
Other than that, Mum and I spent about an hour wallowing in childhood memories after breakfast while binding pieces of thread on the Christmas candies, so that we can hang them onto the Christmas tree. This year's tree has the theme "paper" - everything on it will be self-made, of different sorts of paper. *is excited* I'll post a pic when it's done.
Unfortunately, a great part of Christmas tree decorating will fall to poor Mum, since I'm sick like a dog again and am not allowed to spend much time on the balcony that doesn't have any heating.
