cookie monster
the cookie baking and packing is entirely finished. because i found two kinds of cookies i'd baked earlier in the year socked away in the bowels of the freezer, i was able to send off a dozen different kinds. (click the tiny tupperware to admire my assembly line.)
here's the tray i took to the vet when we dropped off a yowling thermos this afternon. the platter itself is hideous a jolly, bloated-looking snowman but i am hoping everyone will be so gobsmacked by the beauty of the cookies that they will welcome a little ugliness when they get to the bottom of the pile.
i am now out of:
- baking powder
- butter
- eggs
- milk
- almonds
- flour*

* actually, i think we have another fifty pounds in the basement, but my upstairs container is down to dust and weevils.

Never choose the lesser of two weeviles...

I can't even imagine what a 50-lb bag of flour looks like. I can't really store more than 2 pounds at a time in our kitchen.
I'm leaving for SF in a couple of hours, with the 6-cup bundt pan in my suitcase so I can make the cake for Christmas Eve. Security will loooove that.

why such a small cake, molly?

I'm pretty stunned by the assembly line, frankly.

Small cake because it was one of four desserts, and we didn't have *that* many people. Turned out well, though.
