@sueinmn I did some baking before Christmas this year and frankly it was the thing that made me most satisfied during this difficult season. I made four different kinds of cookies, 2 types of muffins, and shared a lot of them with our neighbors across the street who have three children. They appreciate my baking a lot because with three children and working as a lawyer from her home, she has little time for that.
My daughter was visiting a friend who lives up here so they came by, just in our driveway, and I gave them goodies too. She didn't want to visit closely with us because they hadn't been Covid tested and she and my son are both extremely conscious of how serious it could be if either I or my husband got Covid.
One of the cookies I made were chocolate chip cookies using green and red mini M&Ms instead of chips. I assumed my husband would eat them, he loves chocolate chip cookies, but he would not because they were M&Ms, not chips! He has some weird food preferences.
We did get to zoom with my daughter on Christmas day and exchange gifts with her and her husband. That was the highlight of the day. Since my son was visiting his in-law in SC we zoomed with them yesterday, they got home on Saturday. It was great "seeing" them, even on zoom.
