Cookie Party 2025 report

December 23, 2025 by ds83473@gmail.com

I tried to give myself a nice long cookie season by scheduling the party on the late side, December 20th. But somehow life intervened and I still ended up with not enough time. I feel like I missed out on a bunch of stuff by staying home and baking. But that’s nothing new. Right now, … [Read more…]

Cookie notes

December 13, 2025 by ds83473@gmail.com

This cookie season has been marked by lots of things coming out not quite right. By my (overly high?) standards, anyways. Let’s go through. Things started off OK with the jam stars and the lebkuchen. There’re plenty of jam stars, starring in their own video and the lebkuchen are nice and chewy and you can … [Read more…]

Thanksgiving and cookie season

November 29, 2025 by ds83473@gmail.com

The 2025 jam stars in their first ever video. So far I’ve made the jam stars and the lebkuchen. And I tried out a new recipe for the cranberry pistachio slice & bakes. I think I’ll go with it. About 10 days ago, I made a pumpkin pie with a crumb crust using some chocolate … [Read more…]

In the words of the Minus 5 …

December 27, 2024 by ds83473@gmail.com

Aw shit man. Yesterday, Boxing Day, I had my yaxtrax on because I was planning on going for a walk, and I took a short detour to get something in the garage (there was random trash stuck to the bottom of the trash bin that I’d just wheeled down the driveway and I wanted to … [Read more…]

Almost a month of no blogging

December 20, 2024 by ds83473@gmail.com

Sorry to be such a sucky reporter of cookie season. It was so compressed this year. I feel like I missed everything from Nov. 30-Dec. 14 when the party was because all I did was stay home and bake. With a few exceptions: we did go to the Madison Symphony Christmas show on the 7th. … [Read more…]

Cookie gallery

December 19, 2024 by ds83473@gmail.com

I haven’t posted in almost a month and I started a post about that, that also summarizes cookie season and the party. But I started that post on Tuesday and it’s already Thursday and it’s not ready to publish. But meanwhile, going through pictures, I discovered quite a few cookies shots. So, until the other … [Read more…]

A blog is sorta like a journal, right?

November 22, 2024 by ds83473@gmail.com

I’m going to use this post to make an attempt at journal-ling, anyways. Since I haven’t posted for about a week, I thought I’d go back and try to come up with one thing from each day. Or maybe something I cooked. I suspect what is going to happen is some days will have more … [Read more…]

Cookie season/Cookie party wrap up

December 19, 2023 by ds83473@gmail.com

I mean, cookie season’s not quite over; there’re still quite a few cookies in the house, buckets with kinds we like for us to eat, clamshells that people will be picking up for the leftover cookie grab, and I think the cookie fairy will go her rounds Tuesday. But still, it’s time to reflect on … [Read more…]

Party prep day

December 15, 2023 by ds83473@gmail.com

So the cookie boxes have been dropped off at the post office and I should feel a great weight lifted, but I’m still stressing about will the contents be intact when they reach their destinations. Rach is getting an extra box with some nice boots she was keeping here when she used to come once … [Read more…]

Covid Cookie Season Continues

December 3, 2023 by ds83473@gmail.com

I was still positive on the Thursday after Thanksgiving, albeit with a really faint line. Which could mean nothing, but both Megan and Pia had the really faint line on the last test before their negative test that marked the end of quarantine. So, Mark went to Chicago for the day Friday without me, and … [Read more…]
