Oh my, am I exhausted and the baking marathon has just begun. A Red Bull or 5 Hour Energy Cookie may be on the horizon. Tonight I fulfilled a promise to my friend July to bake 200...yes, TWO HUNDRED, mini Toasted Pecan Chocolate Chip cookies for her daughter's Sweet 16 party. I made the promise before I established my debut date for Heartsong. But a promise is a promise.
Soooooo, after I got off work about 7:30 and bought some needed ingredients at the store, I arrived home at 9:00 to eat dinner and begin tonight's baking adventure. I set up the kitchen like a mini assembly line, measuring chocolate chips and toasted pecans into disposable storage containers all in a row. Then I made five batches of dough and scooped and baked my little heart out until 3:00 a.m. This is why Day 26 is actually being posted on Day 27. This morning I am tying lavender ribbon on those two hundred little cookies, tossing them in a basket and heading out the door to continue the marathon. Thank goodness I was blessed with a motor that just won't quit. I am going to need it to make it to the finish line.
Many hugs,
Kathy
