I’ve been in a blogging funk lately. I continue to blog in my head daily, but few end up being typed and shared. I’m attempting to spend less time on my computer now that summer has arrived (read: school is out!).
I’ve thought about sharing recipes with you that I’ve found on other blogs (a new hobby of mine) and have baked. As a result I’ve gotten into the habit of photographing my baking. Today I will share with you not a recipe I found, but one I was given years ago that has become a constant in my kitchen, especially during my annual Christmas/Hanukkah baking.
This was the first delivery of my cookies to the person who won a year of my cookies at the Blue Ribbon Ball. There’s got to be a shorter way to describe that experience and the year of baking and delivery in my future. Any ideas?
