My kitchen is in a state of ku...the chaos that existed before creation.

I got too ambitious and didn't think my cunning plans all the way through...:dunce:
Not enough fridge space for the fruitcakes. Was SURE I bought two packages of jumbo cupcake papers for fruitcake, but can't find the second box. :banghead:

Six fruitcakes is a LOT of fruitcake batter, even if you split it up. Had to finally take advantage of my walk-out freezer...yep, walk-out...it's 27 degrees outside. Have only half the fruitcakes baked, one of the two porter cakes made, and the tins that I bought for to mail them in don't fit.:grr:

Go to PLAN B... plates, tinfoil, bubble wrap, and packing peanuts. Still need to GET the damn boxes and packing peanuts...probably should make some lavender fudge too, just in case I forgot to include somebody and either remember them at the last minute or they show up at my house.

Dehydrating stuff too...some friends like Cajun cooking so they're going to receive two quart jars each of dried mire poix; a mixture of celery, onion and carrot, and trinity, celery, onion and green pepper. Got red onions, and dehydrating intensifies the colors so this should be pretty.
Can't run the dehydrator while Riktor is in the house, because the white noise it makes drives him FRANTIC.

Need to finish bottling wine...and get 'send spells' on this stuff by Friday.
Then there's some sewing, but that's local.

My car is down and I'm depending on friends and such to help me out with my errands to accomplish all this stuff(I do kick in for gas).

If somebody knocked on my door and wanted to help...
I'll pay thee not in gold, but chicken soup, spiced wine and gingerbread.
