Cookie Madness

Leina spent almost all day today making cookies for Miki's wedding shower. It is going to be a cookie themed party. Auntie Evelyn (who has a Kitchen-Aid) was kind enough to make the dough, and Leina baked a gross of each type of cookie. There were snickerdoodles, chocolate chip, and some sort of oatmeal-almond-dried cranberry type. Leina let Tony, Angie, and Erica sample all three. There was disagreement as to which was the best, but in truth, the chocolate chip cookies were the tastiest.

Last week, Leina and the other two co-hosts of the bridal party spent an afternoon making the non-perishible cookie part of the shower--fortune-cookie shaped refrigerator magnets. Two pieces of paper were glued together, then folded like a fortune cookie and affixed to a magnet. Something wedding like, along the lines of "Miki and Francisco for ever, 8/4/06" was written on the fortune. It probably looked a bit like this. But this was hard work and they gave up before they made one for each of the 40 or so expected guests. So they decided on two rules: 1) no member of Miki's family gets one, and 2) only one fortune-cookie shaped magnet per family.
