Coooooo-kieeeee

I have no idea why, but I decided to make some cookies.  I used the basic butter cookie recipe as a start, but instead of lime or orange juice I used 3 Tbl. eggnog and 1 tsp. vanilla.  They taste good, but you can't really taste the egg nog.  Maybe next time I'll do 4 Tbl. eggnog and no vanilla.  I'm not sure I can go without vanilla though....

I made 2 dozen of these EAT ME cookies with a stamp I bought on Amazon.  I took the better looking ones to Ross's work, and didn't take any photos, which doesn't make any sense.  Guys don't care what they look like.

Then I made half a dozen of these heart cookies that go on the side of your coffee cup.  Ross seemed to enjoy his eggnog with  heart cookie last night.

Neelima Smiles

When I worked in Maryland I had the privilege to work with Neelima Reddy. She is one of the sweetest, smartest, most beautiful people I have ever met. I always think of her this time of year and it makes me smile. What makes me think of her? Eggnog. Neelima discovered eggnog the year we worked together. She couldn't get enough of it. It made her smile and she made all of us smile. When she found out that eggnog was seasonal she was crushed. Well, Neelima, wherever you are I hope you are enjoying your eggnog and smiling. I am.
