Crowing

Today has been stellar o u o

Dad found some cookie ideas that he wants to try out this Christmas. I've got the go-ahead to buy some of those small-sized cookie cutters that I wasn't intending to get, for the purpose of sandwich-style cookies; we also went to the dollar store and got some nice canning jars to make our own baking gift jars - those jars filled with all the dry ingredients of a recipe so the person only has to add wet ingredients and bake :3 I have to dig up some good recipes to put in those because the magazine he got them from had only some gross weight watchers recipes. At first he was all 'but these come with the recipes right here so we just have to copy this to put with it!' and then I gave him a long look and then he was like '...that's something my mother would do, isn't it.'

YES, YES IT IS. This is not the 60's, if I am sending people a recipe in a jar I am typing up the instructions myself thnx.

Anyways, we'll be doing some stained glass cookies and some sugar cookies with food coloring and other things. It's kind of cute to see dad get all excited about a recipe in a magazine and I just look at it and go 'that's sugar cookies with food coloring in.'

He is more of an ideas guy than a critical thinking guy xD

Also, am super thrilled b/c Dad is finally listening to me on things regarding Tripper. He's even asking me how I handle things, because it is becoming unignorable that my methods actually work. He's even including a bit of raw food into his diet c: pleased.

Tippper enjoys this new spelling of his name, he finds it very distinguished.

Awesome on all accounts! What are stained glass cookies?

Stained glass cookies are cutout cookies with candy in the center c: they look like this (http://cdn.babble.com/family-kitchen/files/2010/12/stained-glass-cookies-.jpg). Very elegant and colorful :D

Those look amazing! I'll be interested to hear how they turn out.
