My wife and daughters have a yearly tradition—a day of
baking for the upcoming holidays. They’ve been doing this for ten or twelve
years, maybe longer. They call it Cookie Day but it’s not limited to just
cookies. They make a lot of treats: chocolatey, caramely, gooey goodies.
At least this is what I’ve been told. I’m never home for
Cookie Day so I’m not really sure what they do. For all I know they could go to
the store and purchase the ready made delectable confections and then sit
around and visit. All I know is when I get home there are platefuls of cookies,
candy, and other sweets.
As you can imagine, I look forward to Cookie Day. (Not that
I really need all the sweets but I’ve never let that stop me before). This
year, Cookie Day is today. Yay!
But this year, there is an added bonus—I’ll be home! First
time ever; home for Cookie Day. No waiting until they’re all done to get my
sugar fix. And though I doubt they’ll want my help in the baking, I might be
allowed to taste test a few things. That is, if they actually DO make this
stuff themselves. Guess I’ll find out a little later! ~
