Joey - get that microplane zester out and start a-bakin'! Gingerbread from scratch is very simple and quick.

Morning, Pip - it is indeed Carl's birthday. He was on last night and some of us wished him the best - he thanked us, but said he probably wouldn't remember it when he woke up. I wouldn't expect to see him for awhile

Addy it's because you're picturing the tattoo guy wearing just an apron in the kitchen...

hello all -- the site is very slow for me this morning -- hope none ofyou think I was "lurking"

Hooray it's Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joey -- I'd vote for cut-outs....

[Pip]

Hi, K!!

[joeyjoe]

Posted: 12/17/04 at 9:38am

K, i think i may divide it between cut-outs and snickerdoodles... i'm also going to make my first attempt with puff pastry...

[BT]

Posted: 12/17/04 at 9:46am

I like to get a nice little pot of orange peel and cinnamon and clove simmering on the stove to make the house smell good. I am anxious to hear how the puff pastry turns out.

Addy, someday I can show you my cake decorating set...

Golly this site is acting odd today.

Pip - growing boys shouldn't skip breakfast . . .

[NYadgal]

Posted: 12/17/04 at 9:53am

I'm watching them cook the yummiest shrimp scampi on the cooking segment on the Today Show right now. It's making me hungry for lunch!

[Pip]

Posted: 12/17/04 at 9:56am

Yeah, well growing boys sometimes don't know enough to get home at a decent enough hour to they can out of BED when they are supposed to!! I just grabbed a banana on my way out the door!

Pip - there's just way to much to comment on in your little post - I think I'll just leave it all alone
