I feel like I'm in some kind of time warp these days, due largely to the dramatic change in weather last week. I could swear that a only a month ago we were enjoying fairly warm weather, hardly any leaves had fallen and I was still grilling chicken outdoors for The Husby. Then last week we had a huge windstorm and all of a sudden the trees were bare and then the temperatures dropped, it snowed, and I caught a cold. Just like that, we were in the dregs of winter. The result of all this has been that I am in the mood for Christmas this year way earlier than normal. So much so, in fact, that I was one of those nuts who braved the crowds and went shopping on Black Friday. I hadn't done that in 11 years if my memory serves me correctly. It wasn't quite as painful as I recalled but I probably won't do that again anytime soon. However, I did buy The Husby his gifts and usually I am wringing my hands in frustration over what to get him.
Today I am sticking around the house. I made date nut bars on Thanksgiving and sent a pan of them to work with The Husby this morning. They are pretty good but I need to get them out of my sight. The recipe is at one of my all time favorite food blogs The Homesick Texan
