Christmas brings out the *DUH* in me....

OK. I gotta talk about these damned treats I made. Some of it turned out exactly right. The peppermint candy, the peanut brittle, the sugar cookies.

But those keeflees are NOT to a standard that I would give out. That defeats the entire process. Oh, and my chocolate covered pretzels? Yeah...they look really good - covered in chocolate with white chocolate drizzled over them - but I used semi sweet instead of milk chocolate. Not right.

I'm too embarrassed to put these on trays to give away. I was so mortified the way the damned things turned out I didn't even send any home with Ktreva Sunday - and that was part of the plan. So here I sit, with my dining room table COVERED in sugar and butter. Oh, it's in a finished product form, but still.....not really good if it's the holidays, you're alone, and you have a bit of a sweet tooth.

For instance, yesterday breakfast was 2 keeflees. I sat and bitched about them the entire time I ate 'em. But eat 'em I did.

Mid morning snack? A handful of pretzels. Again, bitched the whole time. But again, I ate 'em. Lunch? More keeflees with some fudge for "dessert". Thank GOODNESS I had some roasted veggies left for dinner.

So...this is the plan. I just threw out the keeflees. AND the buckeyes. Today I'll pick up milk chocolate and tonite I'll make another batch of pretzels. The "RIGHT" way.

Tomorrow I'll start new Keeflee dough. Saturday I make another 4 dozen keeflees with my new modified filling. Sunday? I'll redo the buckeyes.

THEN...I'll make up all the trays and get that shit distributed. I didn't make this stuff for myself. And I've GOT to get it out of here.

But seriously. What single woman needs a dining room table covered in that much baked goods and candy?

If I don't get this taken care of, they're gonna need a crane to get me out of this house.....
