Christmas Calendar 2011 Door 1 - Welcome

Welcome

I have been quiet busy during the month of November working on this "little" blog project, which are starting today December 1 and will continue until the day of Christmas Eve December 24. The aim from my side has been to make my own Christmas Kitchen Calendar. So like you can follow a daily episode of a Christmas Calendar for either children or grown-ups on TV, you can also follow a daily "episode" of a Christmas Calendar in my kitchen.

So I have been selecting all the recipes, which I will be blogging about in this Christmas month of 2011, and  I have actual already been making approx 50% of all the selected recipes. And yesterday evening I was adding the finishing touch to this specific Christmas Calendar Door making the dosmer shopping list, which you will find below.
