No Frills November NSD/CSD

NSD 27/30

Honey you are in my prayers. I know you are in a scary place right now and I don't mean to belittle the situation, but I think in many ways you are in a better state now than when you first joined this board. Then you seemed so depressed about your debt and seemed to see no way out and even now with things piling up you have a better outlook and attitude. You will come through this.

This is the beginning of my crazy season. I got all of the frozen berries and fruit out of the freezer and cooked them down for juice and ended up with well over 2.5 GALLONS of juice. It smells like a candy factory in here. I calculate I will end up with about 4.5 dozen jars of jelly, jam and fruit syrups. Yesterday I hit Walmart and got the supplies for my Christmas baking. I will be making 6-8 kinds of cookies, and 5-6 kinds of homemade candy ( a couple of these are bar "cookies" that are so rich I cut them small and call them candy). I'll also be making buckets of caramel corn and cinnamon corn. This year I think I might make some spiced nuts is there is time. Even though the ingredients are really costing more and more, homemade goodies are still an economical gift for everyone I need gifts for.
