As predicted, I spent much of my Saturday in the kitchen - baking cookies! During this same weekend last year, I baked dozens and dozens of cookies in preparation for a big goodbye party for one of my teammates who had resigned and was headed back to the US. This year, the need is a little less focused, but just as pressing - a team coming in a couple of weeks for camp, youth activities every weekend for the next month, etc. So, after walking the 7.5 km to the grocery store in the rain and then another 7.5 km. home in the sun with my baking supplies in my backpack (note to self: do not attempt this again!), I spent the rest of the day baking cookies. Oatmeal raisin cookies, no-bake cookies, peanut butter cookies, chocolate chip cookies, snickerdoodles...I've got 'em all. Don't they look yummy? I hope they taste as good as they look...now they are all safely stored in the freezer until needed. Come and visit...and I promise to share my cookies! Sarah, be nice and I'll think about sending some snickerdoodles home with Christine (maybe I'll even make fresh ones...).
At Christmas, one of my teammates gave me some Warm Vanilla Sugar handsoap from Bath and Body Works (thanks, Kris!), and it instantly became my new favorite. Now I think I know why...it smells remarkably like freshly baked cookies. I love my fresh-cookie scented apartment - and my fresh-cookie scented bathroom!

Yumm...I wish I had some cookies. Why didn't you cook me that many cookies while I was there? :o)
