I'm headed to the commissary tomorrow, that means I spend the day thinking about all the things I want to cook so I can pick up the ingredients at the commissary for a fraction of the price as they are here in town.
In case your wondering, I usually don't write a list, I'm sure there's a good reason, I've hidden my writing utensils, dash-1's run off with them, I put my list together in the car while driving, something like that, there's always a reason right?
For whatever reason I don't write a list, then I end up at the commissary with my frazzled self and my entourage roaming up and down the shelves forgetting most of what I need only to find out I came home with 3 bottles of ketchup and we already had 4. You get the idea.
But I'm going to try to do a little more for this visit since December is a very special month.
December is the MONTH OF THE CHRISTMAS COOKIE!
And yes, the birth of Christ is a very important thing, no need for snarky comments about how I'm going to hell because I refered to it as the month of the cookie.
{For those of you who are thinking "no that doesn't happen, people don't leave comments like that!" Yes. Yes they do. For months. Actually years.}
But back to the cookies. Christmas cookies are really really delicious. Like wicked awesome sorta delicious.
{And in case you didn't know, I shared this with the ornament swap folks, calories consumed during this month do not count}
So the point, cause I'm pretty sure there is a point to this post {or maybe not why start having a point now!} why not do an online cookie hop?
While your whipping up your holiday goodies, take a picture, write up the recipe on your blog and then link up over here in my little corner of the web. If folks seem interested I'll set up a linky and a start date {I'm thinking next week to start and then just leave it up for the month?} and we can all get fat and happy together.
What better way to find a new recipe {and not just cookies, any type of baked good, desert type of treat will work} and share a favorite? After all aren't the holidays about sharing?
And getting fat and happy.
So who's in?

ReplyDeleteI'm in! Of course, I'm in for anything that involves yummy cookies!
ReplyDeletehahahaha... reading this the first thing that came to my mind was a sound clip I heard a few years ago from a radical church: Jesus knows where you live... you can't hide from Jesus! Well, cookies know where my lips are- I can't hide from cookies! I'm definitely in! I'm camera less for now, but have a picture from on-line :) Super excited!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. I'm always looking for new recipes for cookies, they are one thing I can be sure the husband will eat plenty of!
