What??? - no pie around here?? I sure could go for a big slice of the apple variety with a cup of coffee.

I'm already sick of cookies. I bought a big tub of shortbread cookies, and this morning baked a batch of peanut butter, and also sugar cookies. The first batch of the peanut butter out of the oven landed on the floor when the sheet slipped out of my hand, and only half survived the fall. Tomorrow I'm being forced to bake choco chip ones, since son says it isn't Christmas without them. What mothers don't do for their kids - and grandkids too!

And congrats to Slick - retirement is the best job anywhere.
