2. Sounds like a good plan.
But take care, you don't want to go too far -- you can end up getting baked and hammering Christmas cookies.

12. yowza
mighty good

I should have stocked up on egg nog before the snow hit.

Fool!

I'll have to settle for the kindness of friends (like you) and my stash of Irish whiskey . . .

Gotta make them, then you can get hammered while eating your cookies.

edited to correct transposed words (not hammered, but on my way).

21. well, it's one of those make it up as you go along
Edited on Wed Dec-20-06 09:31 PM by leftofthedial
adapting another recipe sort of things

I'm making a pretty basic cookie dough (brown sugar, butter, vanilla, eggs) and adding some irish whiskey--just for color, don't you know
OOPS--left out the flour . . .

then I'm melting a bunch of chocolate, with some coffee and more irish whiskey (just for flavor don't you know) and maybe some powdered sugar (for body) to make an icing

At least that's my plan.


Last night it was rum oatmeal cranberry cookies. Those are pretty darn good if I say so myself.

Cookies and the big batch of homemade green chili that is simmering on the back burner are my main Christmas gifts to give friends and family this year, since I have no job and no money.
