I’m signing off ’til Monday. A Christmas break. Today will be spent cooking with the kids. We’ll be making sugar cookies (the recipe I use is from the Joy of Baking. Also check out my  from my friend Clemence’s amazing library of deliciousness) and pavlova (to take to a friend’s tonight). This afternoon we’ll be at church. And tonight the kids will lay out their stockings and leave the sugar cookies, along with a beer, for Santa.

If you are in need of a sweet fix that’s doesn’t include butter and sugar have a look at The Wishing Machine.  I sent some last minute Christmas e-cards (above) this morning and made a wish – it’s lovely.

Have a great break and I’ll see you back here on Monday…
