It's starting to feel like winter here. Clear and sunny but 40 degrees! Our little Prattville High School Lions won the state football championship on Friday and I kept hearing about a "white out" but wasn't sure what it meant until we went downtown for the Christmas parade. You can see the white toilet paper all over the trees. It made it feel a little snowy for the parade. We walked around downtown a bit before the parade which didn't start until it was almost dark. Lots of lights and local politicians, bands, businesses etc. It was fun but long, so we didn't stay for the whole thing. That winning football team got lots of hoots and hollers!
We went home and had yummy leftover pasta that we had enjoyed the night before at Olive Garden from a gift card mom and dad had sent us. Then I started the goody making for gift bags. Went with the dipped pretzels in caramel then dark chocolate/peanut butter chips/pistachio mix.
Easy toffee with dark chocolate and chopped almonds on top then another version where the toffee is poured over almonds, pistachios & macadamia nuts then dark chocolate spread over the top. I sometimes use white chocolate on that recipe which my good friend Jennifer Nollner graciously shared with me. Yummy!
Bagged them up with a cute tag for Tom's classmates, my Bible study group and for more friends and family. Hope they survive the travel!
