Old Year - For the Birds

Tuesday as rescheduled we went out to feed the birds. This was sort of a bust. No birds came for the bread we put out in the morning so I didn't go to the effort of making pinecones with tahini millet and sunflower seeds. Maybe next year. Wednesday was hot chocolate day, a surefire success. Thursday was New Year's decorating day. We'd actually been gearing up for the open house throughout the week. I made three batches of hoppin' john on Tuesday and three loaves of spice bread on Wednesday. Thursday Joe had the afternoon off for making mozzarella while Neil and I mixed dries for cornbread.

This picture reminds me that Ruth Anne was happy to eat the stale white bird bread.
