Holiday goodies

In the old days, Cliff and I ate ourselves silly from Thanksgiving till New Year's. I rolled out all those family recipes I love so well and we had a regular eating orgy. I can't do that any more because we fatten up so easily; and I miss it, both the cooking and the seasonal eating.

I've decided this weekend will be the time I get this out of my system and do some no-holds-barred cooking and eating. There will be the good old Kraft cheese ball, chips and hot hamburger dip, cranberry bread, and possibly some fruity Jello cookies. I would make my favorite fruitcake, but the recipe makes a lot, and I'd end up eating almost the whole fattening thing by myself. Maybe I'll make a batch of brown sugar fudge to eat by myself, in place of the fruitcake. That'll be a lot cheaper.

I'd better get started making my grocery list.

Anybody got suggestions?

Cliff's sister and her husband will be around part of the weekend; maybe some of my daughter's family will show up to help eat the stuff I'm making. (hint, hint)
