HOLIDAY GOODIES This weekend I've been making my holiday gameplan-- the cards, the gifts, the treats. It has kept me from blogging much, but hopefully it will prevent a small nervous breakdown later this month. Planning is the only way to stay sane during "the most wonderful time of the year." Well, I must admit there is also the bah, humbug option of non-acknowledgement of holiday obligations. This is what my adorable husband does and it seems to work for him, as well.

Yesterday, I found a wonderful repository of holiday recipes at christmas.allrecipes.com. One delicacy was particularly intriguing. The name says it all: Saltine Toffee Cookies. Described as "an easy to make but wonderfully delicious treat," they are made by mixing together melted butter and brown sugar and then pouring it over, you guessed it, saltine crackers. These are then baked and topped with chocolate chips and nuts. It does sound delightfully easy. But does it belong in the Gallery of Regrettable Food? I can think of but one way to know for sure, and I'll let you know how they turn out.

Coming soon--food links and additional fantastic warblogs!
