This is another installment in this series:
" Growing up, one of the traditions I used to look forward to was
actually a gift from a family friend. There was this little red tin,
shaped like a train, that we'd use and return every year. It was the
highlight of December when it would come back to us, filled with
delicious goodness of dozens of misc. bites of perfection. They must
have tirelessly baked and baked the amazing set of holiday treasures.
Each sample better than the last. Fast forward to recent times, even
though it's been years and I now live states away from my hometown, I
still would think about the contents of that little red tin every
Christmas. What to do? Bug the baker until she folds...and sends me
those recipes! One day, the most delightful Email came to me, with 19
attachments. Those attachments were those infamous recipes! I now have
the tools to build my own box of Christmas delights. And I have
permission to share the collection with you. "
