My Buche de Noel was chocolate this year and turned out great! Not only did I make the sponge cake chocolate, I frosted it, which I never do, only powdered sugar, but made a mocha frosting to make it really rich, and it was!!
Cute sock xmas gifts. Got a couple of these candles from Stone of CA, they are wonderful and really last a long time. Loved all my gifts, especially the electric pruning shears to do bamboo. A house that I didn't get to post on my birthday post since it was so long. We parked right by this beautiful place, I immediately fell in love. If only I could see the inside! I would live in downtown Greenville if this could be my home! New Year's Eve was a stay-at-home night in front of a fire with a good cocktail, Mexican food and the second season of "Divorce". Brought out the special bear glasses for this one. For future reference, the cocktail was an Eddie Palmer, sweet tea, lime juice and tequila. I found this wonderful tequila in another recipe and wanted to give it a try instead of the plain. It was Chipotle, smokey and spicy. The whole bottle is now gone! Timber always wants what we're eating. Sadly, the trees are down and decorations packed. I hate to see the sparkly lights and decorations go, so I kept some on the mantle for dreary winter days. I would say now to relax, but you know me, back to my yard work and plants!
