“Lynne’s spending a day over here later this week,” I said to Tim. “Let’s go to Spec’s so I can stock up on liquor.” While there, I channeled Jimmy Buffett and Billy Idol and bought this.
Don’t let me fool you. Lynne’s not going to drink this stuff. Nobody is. We have our annual BAKING DAY coming up! I also stocked up on these things:
Tucked into this collage: Thirty-three years* of cheese straw, cookie, brownie, divinity, fruit cake, rum ball, bourbon ball, brandy ball, and sausage ball culinary traditions. Let’s eat!
*We are Southern. Of course we began baking at age two.
OH. Also, in that top photo: Notice Tom’s Star Trek birthday tree in the background.
OH, again! WTH is on that Bacardi bottle? A bat? Is Bacardi the choice of vampires everywhere? No need to answer. I already Googled.
sorry, the only thing I saw in this post were the words “cheese straws”
I understand. Perhaps I should send you some when they are made…
Excuse me, I am southern , and the first time I baked cookies was this year … please stop perpetuating stereotypes…. and pass the brownies.
oh and in regards to the brownies …
I don’t like cheese straws, I won’t sit and beg
but when I’m hungry I’ll eat brownies in bed.
becks, set them free and send them to me, babe..
Set them free , I need the brownies here by me!!!
In the midnight hour I cried more more more …
Maybe you should collect your brownies from the Seven Eleven. Just don’t mess up your hair.
touche!
thursday will be long and FUN!!!!
It was fab. Thanks!
I have to go eat some cheese straws now.
I especially like the picture on the bottom of the two of you in your
spectaclesglasses and aprons.I never put my apron on this year. But Lynne brought hers with her! And we both kept mislaying our glasses. Hmmm….
one word: yum!
It’s a good word!
a lot of deliciousness is about to occur!
A lot of calories have been consumed. Just taste testing, you know. =)
Ok, so I had to Google bats on the bottle! I baked cookies too this afternoon. Lots of chocolate and couple that use a bit of bourbon for flavor.
Does Renee hang around hoping for handouts when you’re baking?
It’s a good job you clarified, as, based on your comment to Tim, I assumed Lynne was an alcoholic…
Heh heh, I’m evil that way.
