truth be told, i am not the most domestic of gals.  i mean, i am a bit of a workaholic who never made learning to cook a priority.  in the past, i have lived with people really enjoyed cooking, and far be it from me to take that pleasure away from them!  I hate to make such a claim on beth’s behalf but i am afraid my bff do not just share common interests but dis-interests (cooking, baking and the like) as well.

She, recently married, has been taking measures to change and has found some enjoyment in the kitchen of late.  I cannot have this.  But alas, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em right?!  So I have been forcing myself into the kitchen.

In general, it has NOT been going well.  I broke out my JOY OF COOKING to make chicken breast and a salad…and it was only mediocre.  I made tacos, which were in fact a success…but that is not really anything to brag about now is it?!?!?

So, this holiday, along with the gifts i bought for the girls that helped me in my store this season, I wanted to MAKE SOME TREATS!!!  I recruited my BFF Beth and the two of us took an afternoon,

and made a SERIOUS MESS:

but we managed between our two brains to work out, POPCORN BALLS, THOSE CORN FLAKE WREATHS & CHOC COVERED PRETZELS…not brain surgery, i realize, but i did nearly melt off my hand making those damned popcorn balls, so a hospital COULD have been involved none-the-less.

Naturally I snapped a few pictures as evidence for my mother who wouldn’t believe it if i just told her I made homemade treats.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
