Because of all the Xmas craziness, I am only just catching up on some of the older posts I missed. I will be that crazy woman soon, I am sure. With my daughter being born three days before Christmas I know exactly how she feels. Except it is not summer on this side of the world, which makes the organization a little more complicated. I will however concede that it is luckily not the end of the school year here either (although we do have a ton of Xmas recitals,office parties, lunches, dinners, cocktails… you name it, they do it). I certainly do not manage all that incredible baking you do, but I always bake a birthday cake and a few years ago I made your whiskey log, which everyone loved!!

What lovely little truffles! Thank you for sharing your recipe! I agree this season can be just TOO much! I would much prefer that we do this season – maybe over in February when things are slower?

These are gorgeous! Never thought of decorating a truffle like this but a brilliant idea for Christmas…and so quick, too.

Well, that was a very interesting little story. I have had conversation with strangers, but nothing like that. 🙂 For me, never having giving a kid’s party before (we don’t have children), I’m shocked at the concepts of bringing extra kids, dropping off early and picking up late, and then the donation in place of gift thing. Really? I would have to ask “So are you donating rather than buying your kid Christmas presents?” I would have been standing there with my mouth hanging open during her whole rant. 🙂
I love these little truffle puddings! I’m not much of a baker, but the hubby and I are huge chocolate and nut fanatics – so are my in-laws. These sound perfect for a little “extra” Christmas treat. Love them!

A Christmas Eve birthday! Oh the timing! I do feel for anyone who has a birthday so close to Christmas.

Oh but these little truffles look scrumptious! I would love to make these. And you did your good deed for the month letting this poor mother just unload! I really do understand her frustration, and if she’s just getting started with parties, she hasn’t yet learned to expect some of the weird responses, questions and assumptions. They just come with the party-giving, and you have to look past them, or you’ll never entertain. My daughter’s birthday is December 24th. I usually collapse on the 26th! 🙂

Oh FAR OUT!
I’m reading this in a cafe and I actually laughed out loud!! I still can’t stop smiling!!!
Bahaha, that poor, poor woman, welcome to the world of kids parties, check your sanity in at the door and have a glass of wine.
Lovely the puddings but the story trumped it 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing,
Kind Regards

such pretty truffles and a great story too – I do feel for the poor woman because there seems to be so much pressure about birthday parties these days.
