Cookies baked: 2.5 batches. Peanut blossoms are done, as are the cherry winks. I did several trays of sugar cookies but it was getting late and I just didn't feel like rolling the rest of them out tonight. Pictures taken, but I'll upload them sometime tomorrow when I've finished all of them.
We got back to Costco today and I returned the expensive Foodsaver. I also got a ton of other stuff, including newly marked down whole beef tenderloins -- 8.99 a pound is a damn fine price. It was surprisingly not too terrible to navigate, especially on the last Saturday afternoon before Christmas.
After we got back from Costco, I chopped stuff up and put a chicken strata together. We'll have that tomorrow since the bread was very dry and needs time to soak. I'm more tired today, but I didn't get much sleep last night. I woke up at 5am to pee and ended up staying up til 6 for the megace. Then Miss Gbic was barking incessantly this morning.
As if the cookies were not enough junk food, I opened the door this evening to find a package on the doorstep. It bore the scariest sticker ever: Perishable. Oh noooooo! It was two pies from Mom's Apple Pie Company in Sterling, VA, a delightful gift from the sales rep at GX. He's so sweet, one year I was sad that there was no pie, and he has made sure that there has been pie every year since then :)
In other news, I planned out meals for the rest of the week leading up to Christmas. Not much else to report... more snow here, but only 1 to 2 inches expected.
