This morning Mom decided it was time to put icing on the mounds of cookies she has been baking over the last week or so (“it’s good to do the marathon cookie baking because afterwards I do not even want to so much as look at a cookie”).
Getting the icing consistency right is always a tricky issue. We tried having Charles and Alice do the actual icing, but the icing was setting too quickly and they ended up breaking the cookies (especially Charles, who decided that whacking the icing when it wouldn’t behave was a good idea). In the end, Mom and I iced the cookies and Charles and Alice put the decorations on. Corwin popped in for a bit to do some but became “bored bored bored” in short order.
LOL! I used to do a big cookie thing before I went back to cgrad school.…those were the good old days!
