Cookie baking

They’re in the plans today and I’m determined to get them done. I know it’s a little early for cookies for Santa, but that’s okay we’ve got nothing else to do today. So it should keep the keiki busy but unfortunately I’ll probably go all OCD on them and “advise” them on how it should look . As you can see we’re not doing it completely from scratch, these are just as good man. I’ve got all the stuff to make ‘em from scratch, I’m just too lazy. It’s the thought that counts right?

The other day I thought about doing one of those gingerbread kits with the kids, up until I saw this thing on Food Network. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about crafting and decorating and cooking and fun stuff like that. But I thought about the gingerbread house and if we’d actually eat it, and NO we wouldn’t. I would spend money on food that wouldn’t even be eaten, and just thrown in the garbage after the holidays were over. That thing I saw on Food Network was about the gingerbread houses that are made every year at Disney World. Just how much ingredients are used for the sole purpose of looking at the food got me annoyed. Hundreds to thousands of POUNDS of ingredients go into those things and then where do they go after the holidays? In the garbage. B/c who wants to eat month old cookies that have been exposed to the elements and people. ICK! Horrible. We’re horrible. So yeah no offense to those of you who have the tradition of making gingerbread houses and such. Maybe I’m wrong and your family eats it. We wouldn’t.

I intend to have all those cookies devoured, and if not in this house then we can give some away at karate and hula .
