Love it! Especially the cookie.

A bagel! No way man. That was one of 2 dozen O shaped sugar cookies I made specially for that night. Do you know how hard it is to make an O? There are no O cookie cutters...so you have to make a circle and then you have to find something small enough (top of a spice jar) to cut the middle out. For a non-baker, this was very time intensive. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteIt looks yummy! (from one non-baker to another) :)

I'm so jealous of all the people who took pictures of their televisions. I just went outside and made the dogs bark like crazy for about half an hour to wake up by redneck neighbors (I live in a very red state where it was midnight when the election was called).
