Oh, I wish mom could see this German stollen that John brought home today from the fancy Bakery Noveau. First of all, the size and price of it would shock her, plus it's nothing like the light yeast bread with candied fruit that she and Grandma Dutzie called stollen, and always made at Christmas.
This one is probably filled with marzipan, probably wrapped in a dense butter dough, probably delicious. In a totally different way, that is. But what I wouldn't give for just a taste of mom's old Christmas stollen.
John also bought flowers for the house, as he does every year. I pulled these orchids out of the big bouquet and made a separate arrangement, just as mom would have done.
This looks better than it tastes, but since Amanda can't have one crumb of wheat, I made a loaf of cinnamon raisin "bread" with a Bob's Red Mill gluten free mix.
Other delicacies stacking up in the kitchen...
And plenty of this stuff...
Homemade pizza for dinner tonight...
And a packed fridge. Now entering full holiday food mode...
