While many people choose to wake up early, stampede into stores, and wait in line to pay for their bargains, my plan for Black Friday is always to stay inside. Avoid driving anywhere if possible, and, no matter what, avoid the mall. I like to give homemade gifts when I can and when I think they are a good match to the recipient, and usually my homemade gifts are in the form of food. It only makes sense for people like us- those who read and write about food, like cooking, and are even pretty good at it. So for our own short and sweet Black Friday, I have a round up of ideas for holiday gifts from your kitchen. Bon appetit!
