verbicideSarah came over for a day of baking fun. We made our way through half a dozen recipes. I didn't make as many this year, and except for family, really won't be able to mail 'em out, because there just isn't enough time, but it was fun. I had run out in the morning for ingredients and also very cute, cheap cookie tins at JoAnns.
I tried all new recipes this year, and it went pretty damn well. We made cranberry shortbread, caramel cashew nut, double chocolate chunk, chocolate crackles, chocolate-malt sandwiches, and pumpkin spice with brown butter icing. The final recipe, raspberry cream sandwiches, didn't get made because I forgot the damn raspberries and white chocolate. I'm going to pick that up on my way home tomorrow and hopefully finish the last batch.
Sarah left around 8:30, and I just finished baking the last batch. The dishwasher's loaded and mostly things are clean.
OMG --in super exciting news, we also exchanged presents early on account of... well, we just couldn't wait, dammit! She got me a much-needed, very cool, retro ice cream scooper and a glorious, glorious 10-inch All-clad saucier. I think I can officially die happy now. I can't freaking wait to saute something!
I can't believe there is work tomorrow. Four more days before vacation and my brain is no longer capable of focusing (except, apparently, on cookie-making).
I'm meeting Judy and Ellie out for dinner tomorrow and I have to get their cookie boxes assembled, their presents wrapped, and also Rob/Kelly's cookie box assembled and their gifts wrapped because Judy is going to go see them on Tuesday and this saves me a trip up to Everett. I don't think the raspberry cream cookies are going to make it into their boxes, unfortunately.
Oh oh, also watched Survivor tonight and damn near cried with happiness --but that's another post for another day when I'm actually conscious.
