More Baking!

Okay.  This last little bit and the few days coming up are filled with tasty, delicious smells.  Yesterday I made ginger cookies and chocolate chip cookies (St Matthew's is hosting the On Eagles Wing general meeting this coming weekend and I was asked to donate a couple dozen of each of those to serve with coffee).  And I did up a chicken cheese bruschetta-type bake yesterday for supper (SOOOO tasty!).  When Hubby and I were talking about what to have for supper tonight, we decided on soup.  So we'll use soup from a can, and home made buns.  Half of them are done right now and the other half is currently in the oven.  Smells like heaven! 

I'm up for providing a dessert for the Boy's Halloween party at school, so I'm going to be making cupcakes tomorrow and decorating them Tuesday.  He want's me to decorate them like pumpkins, I want to make them into spiders, we'll see who wins!

As I was forming the bread dough into buns this afternoon, the Boy asked if it was perogs I was making.  I smiled.  Every time I've made them he hasn't eaten them.  Keeps saying that he doesn't like bacon.  Now, however, all of the kids like bacon, so it'll be interesting to see if they'll eat them this year.  As it is, we'll likely be doing up a double batch so there will be some for us after we give so many away.  If anyone wants any, put your order in now!  (For those who are unfamiliar, perogs are a tradition from my Latvian roots of fried bacon and onion in a crescent shaped sweet dough bun.  Super tasty!)  As soon as I can find some slab bacon, I'll be starting those.

I've been mixing up hot cocoa mix, so the kids have been enjoying that alot.  The recipe I used, Hubby thought wasn't sweet enough, so I tried a slightly different combination of ingredients this afternoon.  I hope it works out!  I'll probably find out in a little bit, as the Girl and Boy2 are playing outside in the snow (we're finally getting a bit of a snowfall!!!!) and Hubby and the Boy are at a Reformation Sunday service at the Horizon Stage this afternoon.  I'm betting they'll all want some cocoa when they come in!
