What a busy time last week was! This happens every year, Thanksgiving comes and bam! Holiday season is upon us! This year I gave people the chance to buy home baked bread for their holiday meals. The picture above is the completed orders! It was a busy busy couple of days, but I loved it.

In addition to familiar breads I bake weekly, I also offered Finnish pulla bread and lefse. Pulla bread is a sweet bread that tends to be a bit denser because of the butter, milk and eggs used. I baked a couple extra for me because of their tastiness. Lefse is a Norwegian soft flat bread that you spread with butter and then sprinkle with sugar, brown sugar, or simply jam. These babies are addicting. Ross helped me with the production line of that. My parents borrowed me the lefse making tools and Ross helped me with the production line. They are pretty labor intensive, so having a partner was key!

Once baking and delivery was done, we prepared for hosting Friendsgiving 2012. It's exactly what it sounds like and so much fun! Our little one bedroom apartment hosted 13 people and one cat. A highlight to the party was our pumpkin keg! We carved out a hole and slipped a bag of wine right inside. I probably drank out of that guy more frequently just because it was too cute.

So after playing host and eating too much food at our family Thanksgiving, I'm back to getting life together. We have a lot of changes happening in the next month and I have lots of lists to make and things to check off! I'll be telling of those changes soon:)
