I have a little hobby on the side (when I’m not gardening or cooking). I make scrapbooks. Yes, it’s probably a frivolous hobby. . . it can be kind of expensive and it’s time-intensive.
But, man, is it fun. It’s like an excuse to revert to childhood and feel free to cut and paste like a madwoman.
So, this past weekend I attended a scrapbook “retreat”–it was just at the local mall, but it was two days of making scrapbooks with about 25 other women similarly afflicted.
While I was gone, Trevor apparently got a wild hair about preparing for Christmas.
I knew he was planning to make a couple of different flavors of hard candy–that’s something his mom always made for Christmas.
When I came home on Friday night he’d made lemon hard candy, peanut brittle, and fudge.
By the time I got home on Saturday he’d added butterscotch hard candy, peppermint hard candy, peanut butter fudge, and divinity to that lineup.
Here we come, sugar-coma.

I still use your mom’s English Toffee recipe every Christmas. Everyone waits for me to make it!
That’s awesome–I love that recipe! Good stuff. Maybe I’ll make it this year–Lord knows we need more sugar in the house. BAhaha!
