CRUNCH! CRUNCH!

 CRUNCH!  CRUNCH!

Spooky sounds are coming from the kitchen.  Is it Ghosts?  Goblins?  Witches or Skeletons?  Peek carefully around the corner.  BOO!  Be ready to jump.  But, hey, it’s just a couple of happy Holiday Bakers nibbling on their freshly made Gingersnaps.  

Even though it’s not quite Halloween, it’s not too soon to start thinking about making some Christmas goodies.  These two books can help kids do just that.  Check out my books:  Christmas With The Carruthers and Christmas Cookie Exchange.

From Christmas With The Carruthers:  Getting ready to prepare “the Christmas Plum Pudding.  They were all going to help make it!  Cook had been busily assembling the ingredients.  Faith was allowed to crack the eggs.  Lilith and Elspeth combined the bread crumbs, spices, and flour.  Agatha vigorously stirred together the butter and sugar.  Thisbee added the dried fruit.

Soon the entire family was taking turns, stirring and making wishes.  Finally Mr. Carruthers added the silver sixpence and Cook wrapped it all up in a cloth and put it in a pan to boil.  Agatha stared at the pot.  She kept on staring as the rest of the family drifted away, out of the kitchen, into the nursery to play or into the library to read.” 

         From Christmas Cookie Exchange: she “handed her daughter a rolling pin.  “Why don’t you start rolling while I preheat the oven and get out the pans?”

Soon the mother-daughter team had an easy rhythm going.  Phoebe rolled the dough and cut it with a star shaped cookie cutter.  Jen sprinkled them with colored sugar and lifted the cookies onto the pans.  When two pans were full, she popped them into the oven and set the timer.”
