Online jigsaw puzzle of homemade Christmas cookie dough sprinkled with flour to prevent sticking. Star and tree cookie cutter shapes are being pressed into the dough.
What I need to do. However the ones I bake are already cut in squares so all I have to do is to slice them and put them in a 350 degree oven to bake for about 14 minutes (Nestles--in refrigerated section of Publix). Quick puzzle. Now my cats are telling me it's dinner time so have to go feed them.
This reminds me of making sugar cookies with my mom and one of my aunts. It would be such a mess, plus my brother and I would mix food colorings for the icing. Christmas trees with dark green icing with silver colored decorations, red hots, or various sprinkles.
Oh yea, I wear them well. Many years of good cookies. But I love them still. Reminds me I must get busy. Have not made any yet this year.

Sometimes I wish that I had a sweet tooth, then I could enjoy biscuits and have a reason for being a large lady!!!

Aussie, if you have a metabloism like mine it burns in 2 seconds. People get upset by that but I was born with it and have no control over it!

I wish my metabolism would get in high gear again. I really do miss eating anything and getting by with it!

Just the opposite toadalove, just breathe in the smells of good cooking and I put on weight. Very hard to lose being insulin dependent as well.
But I am still going to enjoy Christmas and all it involves. Wheeeeeeeee
