This is Mary’s Christmas Kitchen and, boy, was it productive yesterday! From left to right, the magical cooking elves and their magical leader: Alison, Brook, Mary, Renae and Trish. Missing are the creators of the Twisted Tiger, Yawning Kitten and Barking Spider, Mr. Talsma and yours truly. This was my first year in Brook’s mom’s kitchen and I am duly impressed with Mrs. Talsma’s organization and candy-making skills. I am also very grateful that at the moment all created sweets are still at Brook’s house… There would be no hope for anything chocolate-covered or pepperminty if such an array found itself in my home.
