Cookies and Cocktails

Not sure why I haven't been posting much, there has been time and there has been photos taken but suddenly you look up and it is late December.

We had a bake sale at work to benefit a local Food Bank, so I broke out the cookie cutters and tried to make something appropriately festive.  Many people said they looked fine...I considered them a disaster (especially since only about 2/3rds of the cookies made it into the office).  A Note to those who are interested...an irate anxious dog parking directly beside you makes it challenging to have a steady hand to decorate things.

Also, my housemate and I decided to make gifts for people this year...we got many local figs and pears and then infused some vodka and orange liqueur with the fruit and some spices.  After that sat an appropriate time we made some fresh sour with lemons from our Farmer's Market.  For some reason everyone thought we were giving them vinegar...we kept saying it was alcohol for drinking.  We also got to put in some of the gift baskets some Christmas chocolate that my housemate brought back from Germany (milk chocolate with coriander, anise, and other spices).

They came together nicely.  It was lots of fun to put together.
