This cookie swap I was relaxed about what I brought to the table, knowing I wasn’t going to be ostracized for—cheating. Although it wasn’t blatant-cheating—I didn’t bring a clear plastic container of Ralph’s frosted cookies and slap ’em on the table as I fished dirt out of my ear and chili-belched. Pre-made cookie dough, Reese’s chocolate/pnut chips, multi-colored sprinkles and a box of those hard candy hearts with illegible sayings on them? Cookie fixings! As T napped, I utilized my limited cooking baking talents (that go with my limited pancake cooking talents) and because of diligently checking the stove and responding when the timer went off instead of finishing typing a sentence or completing another laundry fold or simply staring into space, only a few cookies bore charred undersides (I saved those for my husband) and the rest? Voila:
As opposed to my Pre-Thanksgiving Cookie Swap scabby, dented, roughed up buggers stolen from somebody’s compost heap:
Oh I needed an outing with my baby, to interact with other mommies and listen to their adventures in the cold/flu season, to hear worries other than my brain’s under-educated worry-blather, to release with releasing others. Thank you cookie. You were my ticket to an amazing mommy’s-treat, today–including lots and lots of cookies far better than anything I could make myself, cheating or not.
You know, PB, if you just invested in a rolling pin and a bag of cake flour you could save yourself a lot of angst regarding these cookie swap gatherings!
NONSENSE PB!! Rolling pins are out, not for you or anyone. Besides you don’t need one for cookies. Yours look great.
