It's winter now! No, really!

Hello there, wonderful people.  I hope your Thanksgivings were as good as ours.

I have to say, this unseasonably warm weather is not helping me accept that the year is swiftly coming to an end. I took my girls to the playground yesterday wearing long-sleeved shirts and sweaters (but no coats), and they had to dodge some puddles under the swings.  It's been a little difficult to get into the holiday spirit when I haven't had to put my winter coat on more than a couple of times.

Still, there's nothing like baking to get you in the mood.  I am nursing a small ginger obsession right now.  I love the smell, the heat, the textures, everything.  And if you've never tried the Lemon Ginger tea that Stash makes, I highly recommend it.  Put some honey in there and voila.  But I digress... the point I wanted to make is that I've been trying lots of ginger recipes, and I think I've got a couple of winners for you.

I've been trying a few new things, actually.  I realized recently that I've been neglecting chocolate - CHOCOLATE, of all things - in my lineup.  That will be remedied soon, I promise.

Also, I've been busy ordering things for my business - like pie boxes!  Hooray!  And less glamorous, but still exciting things, like pie tins and new cookie scoops.  It's been suggested to me that I make some T-shirts, which I think is a great idea, but I haven't found anything that isn't super expensive or kinda fugly or both.  I'll keep looking.  If any of you know of a great custom t-shirt company, let me know in the comments.

Please know that the pies that were available for Thanksgiving are still available for the holidays.  I'm going to be changing the price structure a bit, but it's nothing extreme.  In light of my recent "aha!" moment involving chocolate, I am trying a new pie tomorrow that may very well be added to the lineup.

I will also be offering a special cookie gift package!  It will have at least three types of cookies, nestled in a holiday tin - and it includes a personalized holiday card for the lucky recipient.  Perfect for gift-giving.

And if you haven't already, come on over to https://www.facebook.com/pages/One-More-Slice/190036751076772 and become a fan.  I'll be offering a special product only to my Facebook fans, and it's... well, it's delicious.  You'll just have to come see.
