It seems we need to add that in there, since Thanksgiving seems to be forgotten in the hoopla of Halloween and Christmas. Yet I am guilty of indulging in the Christmas spirit a little too early.
My tree is up, and yes, I'm already making some Christmas goodies. This year the food might not be my fault, though. I am baking for our Third Thursday Open House at The Hutchinson News. Kids can sit on Santa's lap and their parents can get a behind-the-scenes look at The News.
My desk is clean and I have my Charlie Brown Christmas tree set up. Amy Bickel made sure we have enough hot cocoa and cider for everyone who attends.A few of us were told to make three dozen cookies to make sure every kid and parent gets a sweet treat as they head through The News.
If you know me, you'd know that I have a hard time making anything normal. I like to experiment and let people try something new. Hopefully mint-chocolate whoopie pies will do the trick.
For my birthday, I got a book of Whoopie Pies. I have experimented with the cookies and cremes to see which ones work well together. Half of the chocolate cookies are already made for Thursday's open house. I now need to add the mint creme, complete with small bits of peppermint.
So come to The News open house if you want to try them. If you can't make it, I'll have the recipe up soon!
