moonwiseDayamn, I haven't posted hardly at all in the last couple weeks. The holidays seem to suck up so much time.
Most of what I did all weekend was bake. Bake and bake and bake, and I still didn't get as many batches done as I wanted to. The list so far:
Cantuccini (almond cinnamon biscotti)
Chocolate chunk biscotti
Pistachio orange biscotti
Brownies
Chocolate fudge cookies
Maple walnut bars
Plus the other stuff already in the freezer. I'm astonished that I killed 5 lb of flour already.
We went to visit my husband's uncle in the hospital on Saturday. On Halloween, he had what looked like a cold, but the cold didn't go away. They eventually thought he had a superbug and administered super-antibiotics, but his lungs are still inflamed and the family is worried. He had a biopsy, and the results will be in next week. Uncle Joe seemed to be in good spirits when we saw him, though, and he might go home today or tomorrow.
Husband and I also made a trip up to Mitsuwa in search of Japanese toilet paper (don't ask, it would take too long.) They appear to be making some serious renovations to the food area, because the noodle stand we always go to has moved elsewhere in the supermarket, and the area by the windows is completely blocked off. For lunch, we had udon with beef, which was full of ginger and very tasty. Sadly, my husband made big frowny faces when I wanted to get Pocky, so no Pocky for me. They had sesame Pocky, too. :( Oh well, another time.
Sunday was the big Eagles/Giants game at 4 PM, so we stayed in. Now that we have the Waffle Maker of Gratitude, it's become a Sunday morning tradition to have waffles. I baked cookies until![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fireceremony texted me for a chat, and then it was time to watch the game. Despite the decimated O-line, the Eagles put up a fight, and our D-line rolled right over. At least Feely managed to hit the winning field goal, which saved our 1st place in the division, since KC couldn't put Dallas away. :P
Got to do some Xmas shopping this afternoon. Wow, less than two weeks until Christmas.
