Happy Thanksgiving!
Today I'm most grateful for Adrian Soyers, the nice woman who is buying my Louisiana house. Happy Thanksgiving to you Ms. Soyers. I'm grateful for my perfect cat and my many friends. I'm grateful for my giant kitchen island that provided lots of space for cookie making & merriment last night.
Here are some pictures of how all that turned out:
The pictures are, from top to bottom, our sugar cookies, in mid decoration. We had a variety of icings to use last night and they came out so great! The second is hard to tell, but it's my pan of marshmallows before I cut them. I'll have to take a better picture now that they're cut. The last is Laura and I. Another very successful year of Christmas cookies under our belt. My kitchen is a disaster mess, and I'm pretty sure the secret to hard candy involves corn syrup and water and sugar because that's what is stuck in the bottom of my pot. (My fault for waiting until the next morning for dishes.) Oh well. I should also say that Laura was a trooper. When she arrived at my house last night to make cookies, I informed her that our first floor heat has gone out and it was 56 degrees in the kitchen. It warmed up with the oven and all, but still. Chilly night for making cookies.
