I so understand the urge to bake. And to make lots of baked stuff. Also, the irritation when there are steps that you have to kind of improvise when (like me) you don't have a electric mixer. (We periodically think about getting one, but I never feel that I'll use it enough to justify the expense... sigh...)

I'll be making clementine cake and cranberry-walnute bread today for Christmas dinner with friends tomorrow.
