LOL, that was our date too. I told Roomey I was his tax deduction.

Wonderful, a Christmas wedding! I love it!

Great! It is always a good omen (not that I believe in them) when a successful marriage has happened on your chosen day. I agree, a Christmas wedding can look beautiful. One thing which will help - the church will already be decorated and will need only a few more things maybe. We think we have the church nailed down, that will be confirmed on Tuesday.

We had a fun time looking at dresses yesterday. Honestly, my daughter is stunningly beautiful (she gets it from her dad). She can wear a size 4. I hate her, lol! She has forbidden me to post any pictures of her lest her friends would see them. We had it narrowed down to two at the store we went to yesterday. But Tuesday she has an appointment with another bridal shop and we’ll see how things go.

I made the real Danish pastry dough today and made peach danishes. Real butter, handcrafted dough, layer, fold, roll, fold, roll freezer for an hour, fold, roll, &ct, ad infinitum. I figure there are between 729 to 2187 layers of dough and butter in what I made today.

They turned out beautiful. I did use a crisp, sweet dry white wine when I made the peach filling, and also used real cardamom and nutmeg.

I started at 10AM. I've tasted a sample, but they won't be ready for another hour.

Sometimes, I think that money I spent at culinary school was the best investment I ever made.
