Christmas Eve · 24 December 2006
The cookies are baked; the shopping and wrapping are done; it’s now time to sit back and enjoy the fruits of the last weeks’ labors.
I’m very pleased with how the chocolate-ginger freezer cookies turned out. They are just as pretty as the cookbook picture promised, and the subtle tanginess of the ginger dough complements the rich chocolate coating and sweet-sour candied ginger topping nicely.
Chocolate-Ginger Freezer Cookies
I’ve taken the relaxation of today to catch up on some reading. I look to have some promising reviews to share in the next few weeks as a result.
The rest of the evening is dedicated to eating dinner and relaxing by a warm fire. For those who partake in the holiday tradition of listening to music on Christmas Eve, take a listen to the latest Holly Cole Christmas compilation. She’s an amazing sultry-voiced Canadian singer with a penchant for poking fun at the commercialism of the holiday. One of the songs she performed on tour, but unfortunately not on the album, is “Maybe This Christmas”, available on writer and fellow vocalist Ron Sexsmith’s MySpace. If you’re a sucker for sentimentalism like I am, pay attention to the lyrics then call a long lost friend to wish them well.
Hope your holidays are all that you could ask for.
