i'm all rested up now.

I spent Wednesday evening/night in the kitchen. Not only did I make dinner, but I was a baking fool. I found out the hard way that mason jars require a crapload of cookies to fill!

And because I'm a nerd, I got bored with making the same kind of cookies. Therefore, I present to you the 2006 Cookie Parade:

Black & White Chocolate Chip

Snickerdoodles

Hawaiian wedding cookies

Chewy molasses spice

Eggnog spice (not as gross as it sounds -

it's really a nutmeg flavored cookie

topped with butter rum frosting)

The sampler platter I took to work as a parting gift:

And finally, the labels I put on top of the

jars to identify the cookie flavor:

Whoa, I really DO have Martha Stewart issues. Help me.
