Friday Five

1. What is your favorite Christmas cookie?

As I'm not a big fan of ginger bread I'll have to say sugar cookies! Especially holiday shaped cookies. Even plain old circle one are good, I love being able to get together with my little cousins and decorate them. Though this year we're planning on having everyone gather and make gingerbread/ rice krispie treat houses, so I may miss out on the cookie decorating.

2. What's your favorite holiday movie & why?

Hands down 'The Year without a Santa Claus.' How can you go wrong with Snow and Heat miser?

3. Is there a gift that you bought for your kids that you wish you hadn't after they opened it?

I don't have kids. I do have young cousins and other people that I buy gifts for every year, but I normally don't regret buying them stuff as I know they'll appreciate it no matter what. I also tend to buy people stuff I know they'll be able to use and not go to waste, which would be the only reason that I would regret buying something, knowing that it's not going to be used or liked.

4. What is the messiest room in your house right at this moment?

Living room. Since the tree is already up and presents are already gathering under it, it just makes the room look cluttered.

5. What is the furthest you have driven for the holidays?

When I used to live in Fort Kent I would travel back to MA for the holidays and depending on the traffic and weather it's an 8+ hour trip.

Tea Time and other British Things...

Turkey, cranberry and brie quiche.

Scone, clotted cream and jam.

cute little chicken tea cozy

Mrs. Bridges Pantry is a new discovery of mine, it's a lovely little place to go and enjoy a little pot of tea (they have many varieties to choose from) and scones and clotted cream one of new favortie things ever. I seriously like it so much I wish I could get clotted cream from the grocery, but alas I can't.
I also wish this place wasn't 1+ hours away from me so I could there more often!
I had that quiche up there it was good but apparently I still don't like brie and probably never will.
There's also a state reservation park right down the road. It's so nice to be able to get out into nature even if it was only for an hour or so. I would have stayed in that park all day if I hadn't had to get back for work.

Until next time
