christmas: goodies

I was successful in my Christmas treat making! There was only one planned item I did not get around to (Sorry, Em, it was the monster cookies. But I have all of the stuff, and once things aren't so crazy, I will make them!). So the list, some of which is pictured below, is: cinnamon popcorn, caramel popcorn (really, Brian did this, on two separate occasions, and most likely after 1 am so I could go to bed), zweiback, cinnamon rolls (all on my own from my grandma's zweiback recipe the day after the lesson), wild rice and corn casserole, butternut squash puree, butternut squash bisque, chocolate candy cane cookies (which I, oddly enough, really liked despite my usual aversion to mint chocolate), and cutout sugar cookies (which I can really take little credit for since my mom gave me the dough as a present to accompany new cookie cutters and Brian made the frosting, which is almost not pictured here because I forgot to take pictures until we were basically down to the unfrosted last ones). Whew. It was fun. And yummy. And fairly unhealthy.
