So, in case you were wondering what the hell happened to me, I got a new job. Not a job I’m excited about, so I’m probably not gonna talk about it a whole lot on here, except to complain. Ha!
I’ve also been doing a fair amount of baking in the past week; I made the favors for someone’s wedding. She wanted cow cookies because she was getting married at the Fearrington Inn, and wanted to represent the Inn’s mascots, the Belted Galloways. The cows are really cute, I went to the Inn in October and took a lot of pictures of them:
Obviously, my cookies weren’t going to be too realistic. The bride provided me with a cow-shaped cookie cutter, and I made, painted, and individually bagged 7 dozen cows.
So...many...cookies
I know these photos aren’t the best, but after two days of cow-cookie-making, I was in no mood to set up for a proper photo shoot. And after all the cookies, I also baked for Ox and Rabbit, my favorite store in Durham. (How have I not made a post about them yet? I need to get on that.) I made a bunch of cookies and cupcakes for their holiday party. For some reason (um, exhaustion) I only managed to take pictures of the eggnog cupcakes:
I also made chocolate candy cane cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies, and some chocolate gingerbread cookies. Maybe Ox and Rabbit took some pictures at the party – I wasn’t there for much of it.
Then my mom and her husband came for a visit. It was actually okay. If I’ve learned anything in regards to my parents, it’s that if you have no expectations, you can never be disappointed. So we had an okay time. And some decent food, which I’m gonna have to save for a separate post. Thanks, Pop’s, for not sucking this time!
Also to come: racist lollipops, courtesy of my stepmom. Yes, there are photos. No, I will never actually eat them.
Well, I hope you don’t eat them. Eating racist food will turn you racist!
ha ha, you so funny. anyway, they are obviously going to be treasured by future generations, so I shall sell them on EBay in ten years.
