It’s December and for me that means it is “blog every day month” an effort for which I have long since concocted a list of blog-able reflective topics called my December-ish posts each of which should do little more than offer a leaping off point for some rambling writing to fill up my daily blogging quota.

Today that topic is…

What is your best winter treat recipe this year?

I have been somewhat remiss in my kitchen efforts this whole year, falling back on a routine of regular home cooked meals, sure, but flopping spectacularly when it comes to anything more adventurous or creative. In fact, the Kid has almost entirely taken over on the holiday baking this year. As I wrote this she had just finished two more batches of cookies and they were cooling on the counter.

That said, I have been pondering making candy over the holidays.

We watch so many of those cooking channels on YouTube and eventually they all delve into the curiosities and challenges of cooking sugar into its various delicious states of charm. I would actually say that if I had one food-based resolution for the winter it would be to expand my candy-making efforts.

But other than that… I’m mostly just eating the treats, not so much making them this year.

*sigh*
