Candy OVERLOAD
Us girls got together on Sunday and made Christmas candy. Ryan said it was "way too much estrogen in one little kitchen". He was feeling kinda overwhelmed by having 7 females under one roof.
Roxanne, Mom and I planned to Bake, Bake, Bake and then we roped Joanne into cooking too! Maddy stirred occasionally, but in reality she was just a excellent taste tester!
Vanessa sat at the bar and "did her homework" so she said. I think she really sat there to observe and make fun of us ordering each-other around and burning ourselves. More then once she said we were a "comedy routine".
Roxanne counted and said we used 49 sticks of real butter. I'm pretty sure we all gained weight just handling that much lard!
Our day produced:
8 batches of butterscotch haystacks
7 batches of toffee
18 batches of peanut brittle
6 batches of fudge
6 batches of white chocolate Christmas bark
and a partridge and a pear tree......
