Sugar and Spice

Thanks to the miracle of modern antibiotics the Great Bladder Infection has been fixed. Now that I am back up to speed it is time to start the annual sugar-a-thon known as Christmas Cookie baking. My sister is coming into help (a project of this magnitude requires reinforcements!) but several recipes have to be started ahead of time. Plus there is only one oven thus 3 days and nights are needed to accomplish the whole enchilada.

Pray for us.

Pray that my kitchen appliances that are vintage 1960 can handle the strain.

Pray that I didn't forgot crucial ingredients that require a mad dash to Hades, aka, the grocery store.

Pray that I don't get so fat that I have to turn sideways to get through to the table where all the cookies are lying in stately splendor.

Pray that the kids don't spontaneously combust from sugar overdose.

And most of all pray for all the people who live in places where they can't even begin to imagine a country so rich in blessings that the weight of food literally sags the dining room table.
