My idea of paradise...

"My idea of paradise is a perfect automobile going thirty miles an hour on a smooth road to a twelfth-century cathedral" -Henry James

Tonight my idea of paradise is looking at my decorated tree, writing cards to my dear friends and family, and preparing to go home for Christmas! With each passing year I appreciate more the time I spend with my family, and Christmas is the highlight of the year. I can't wait to run around with our dog Kerry and spend time with my parents, sister, and brothers Tom and R., who just returned from China.

Dad got us tickets to a hockey game in Atlanta on Saturday and Sunday my parents are hosting a cocktail party for the neighbors - should be a blast.

I just finished making peppermint bark for my officemates and friends - see easy recipe below.

1 pound white chocolate
1 cup crushed candy canes
peppermint extract
cookie sheet lined with wax or parchment paper

melt chocolate in double boiler
add crushed candy canes and two drops of peppermint extract
mix well
spread on wax/parchment paper and refrigerate for 45 minutes
