The Country Mice

Back in the elfin workshop some sweet and crunchy and extremely healthy treats have been assembled.

Marvellous, tasty and oh so nutty and nutritious bags of granola were mixed and toasted on trays in the oven,  creating a fresh baked aroma to rival the milk and cookies of Mrs. Claus. Organic oats (25 pounds of them as Mother Elf was bound to burn at least one batch), almonds, pumpkin seeds, maple syrup, honey, apricots and candied ginger — thank you Martha Stewart’s recipe file!

The two young elves measured, packaged and taped and readied everything for delivery. Some snacking was suspected expected.

Tomorrow the packages will be labelled and wrapped, ready for delivery.

The workable hours between now and the end of the week are rapidly dwindling. Happy to have this task all wrapped up!
