Belated Christmas.

So I took a break.

I never intended to take a break.  It's not like I was giving it up for Lent, or NaNoWriMo or anything remotely awesome.  I just, didn't want to talk about myself.  Which is weird.  But I am weird, so it actually isn't weird at all for me... or is it?

I have some pictures to share with you.  I made some peppermint bark and some tuxedo popcorn for Christmas for my uncle.  I've listed my peppermint bark secrets here before, but my tuxedo popcorn is new.  And sort of made up on the spot by my mom and I.

So here are some pics:

My peppermint bark.  I added red and green melts to the white bark this time around.

And my tuxedo popcorn, based on the idea of popcorn drizzled with white and dark chocolate: (in lieu of white, i used red and green tinted white)  Switch up the color of the candy melts for any holiday... pink and lavender for Valentines, green for St. Patrick's day, pastels for Easter... and so on...

You need fresh popped popcorn (We use a stove top hand-crank popper) with no butter or salt.  Then drizzle with melted white and dark chocolate.  Let set on a cookie sheet, then break up to package in a tin or bag.






These were my great endevors.  Well, that's not true.  A few weeks ago, I made a nutella/ferrero rocher cupcake for a coworker, and it was pretty fantastic, but no pictures, so i guess it didn't really happen.

My battery is about to go kaput, and I had a million things to blog about that I've been thinking about since last I dialed in, but I just don't have time now.  enjoy the foodie post.
