butter get some

Sunday night we decided to get together at my mom's house and start the holiday goody making. To kick it off we had an easy spaghetti dinner so we could move on to greener pastures. Darin made the request that my dad make some of his famous popcorn but we told him he wouldn't have space to do it because we were taking the kitchen over. Sneaky as he is, and much to Darin's delight, while all of us were digesting Pop snuck into the kitchen and started the popcorn before we could bat an eye or try to stop him. Hind sight is 20/20. I am glad he made the popcorn because after all of those sweets one NEEDS some salt. Side note about Pop: he mocked me for making spiced cider saying that we never drink it and it always goes to waste. See pic.

A double batch of homemade peanut butter cups (bars/squares), a double batch of fudge, one batch of toffee and a fatty batch of popcorn later ... 4 lbs of butter will be delightfully dancing in the bellies of unsuspecting friends. This is our way of spreading holiday cheer. We will now feel cheery because our friends will be getting fatter than we will be after these goodies are delivered! Hoohoohoohahahahahahaaaaaa.
