Sick and Tired

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. We went back to Ohio and since we’ve been back in Brooklyn, I’ve been feeling seriously under the weather. I’ve been trying to push myself to post about something, anything! But it seems my mind just can’t focus on anything at the moment. There’s nothing that can kill productivity like a headache and sick-taste in the mouth. Gross.
Another thing that kills my blogging motivation is a slow internet connection, which is exactly what has been happening in the office. Our company is in the midst of switching providers which means slow internet for, possibly, the rest of 2007. Yeah, yeah, I should be working instead of blogging but I’m here practically ALL the time and sometimes I would rather just stay at the office for a few extra minutes than go home and have to sit in front of the computer again.

Enough with the excuses. Since I’m here I guess I should post about something. Christmastime is coming and I had mentioned before that a couple years ago I made presents for family and friends. So as not to overload you with everything all at once, I’ll do it in parts.

Today is Christmas Present #1 given to my dear friend Angela: Apple Crisp Basket!

Angela and I both love Apple Crisp and we have this romantic notion that it must be made every year on the first snowfall. If you’re looking for a really simple, but very personal gift you should think about giving someone a shared experience or memory. This can usually be created through a combination of simple elements that are special to the both of you. For the Apple Crisp basket all you need are: apples, jars, and ingredients to make the crisp part.

And! Don’t forget your very own special Apple Crisp recipe! Enjoy!

Fondly,
Crystal
