Getting excited about it.......and about company : ) Butterfly (finally a bit more 'sane' but still NO replies from ANY Dr--tomorrow DD will HAND CARRY a letter in to my Dr's office---he will call me as soon as he gets answers--so far he hasn't let us down in that respect--and I won't have to go out in with all those hacking /kauufffffin ppls) "M.

I had forgotten about making it this year. I'm having a hard time getting in the spirit of things. Maybe making stollen will help!

My favorite Stollen is the Quick Stollen in the Sunset Favorite Recipes
cookbook. It's a baking powder rather than yeast one, and seems to stay fresh longer. Not that it lasts very long, but when I made loads of it, it really did keep well. I haven't made it in a couple of years and the book is packed away, or I'd type the recipe for you. --Heidi http://community.webshots.com/user/rabbit2b "Butterfly" wrote in message ...

Our family has several cookie recipes that *must* be made at Christmas time. We
usually eat banana bread and date nut bread Christmas morning while opening our stockings. I like to be the first one up on Christmas morning. At that time I think about Christmases past and the people who are no longer with us and I count the blessings I've had during the year. It makes a wonderful start to the day.

Roast chestnuts, all burnt on one side, hot spiced wine, REAL marzipan, plum
pud with glubby custard. REAL weather (sigh), even after 20 years, I'm not used to the salad type weather at Xmas. Lynn "Janner" wrote in message ...

Just thought that I'd ask, as we like to decorate the tree as close to Christmas as possible, stay up late, eat too much etc on Christmas Eve! So we've started before Christmas Day, mind you the turkey lasts beyond Boxing Day! Gosh this is a hard question! We have made our own traditions, adopting some inventing others. DH's parents are long since dead and mine live 1500 miles away, so we have made Christmas our own. I love all of it. Getting up at the buttcrack of dawn on the 13th to dress up a DD and make sure she doesn't set her hair or anything else on fire (she gets to wear a wreath with candles in it on her head), then going back to bed so she can bring DH and me Saint Lucy buns in bed. This year Ash got to help wearing a poofy white shirt, a pointy hat and sparkly stars. (My grandpa, mom's stepdad, was Swedish) Decorating the tree for hours because nobody can agree on where anything goes (except for Piglet and his star). Measuring the littlest kid's mouth on Christmas eve, so I know how big to make the lasagna noodles (even if we are buying them that year). Chasing after the kids with a wooden spoon and issuing dire threats while they laugh at me, after the annual (and now traditional) kugel snatching. That warm, snuggly feeling after all the kids are in bed on Christmas eve, and the lights are out and just the tree is on. Holding hands around the Christmas tree after cocoa on Christmas morning and singing the Who's (down in Whoville) Christmas song. Favorite foods? Since I am reactive hypoglycemic, and have to eat carefully to avoid passing out, I enjoy the cooking more than the eating. Watching others moan about their weight while wistfully eyeing the plate of cookies or the slice of cake they are going to eat, is very fun. (EG) Blitz kuchen (has been dubbed "the swedish crack") Isli cookies My ever impressive fruitcake marshmallows always amaze and astound My gingerbread architecture is always fun to make and fun to watch the kids try to figure out how to eat. liquid center cherries which amaze more than the marshmallows (easy peasy, just soak the cherries in brandy or other proof liquor for a week or so before wrapping them in fondant and dipping them in chocolate, or add a few of drops of glucose before wrapping them if you want to avoid the alcohol, and let them ripen for 2 weeks before eating them) Christmas pudding with charms in it My personal favorites are Miz Ragmop's seven layer dip (I've been corrupted by a texan!), tangerines, pomegranetes and nuts in the shell.

What's your favourite Christmas food or recipe or tradition?
My daughters, who are both history teachers in their mid-twenties, insist on the same cookies year after year, mostly recipes from my grandmother. Every year, I try to eliminate one of the old recipes in favor of a new one, and one of the girls gets upset and asks for the old recipe so she can make the cookie I left out. Eventually, I will have them making all the old recipes, and I can just try out new ones every year! Linda in Wappingers Falls |

A neighbor from Columbia brought over a loaf of bread one
Christmas that was traditional to her country. I can't remember what she called it. It was very similar to what my czech grandma made as Hoska, which is very similar to stollen. I just do golden raisins, almonds and lemon peel in mine. I don't like all the fruit. I'll eat any loaf that comes my way though.

Lynn, if I get REAL weather this Christmas, I'll be happy to swap with you
for a slice of Mardi's stollen. Deal? (I had a skosh of snow the first of November, but only rain since then.) -- Ruth in Happy Camp "Lynn Tocker" wrote in message ...
