I haven't been able to participate for several years since I live halfway across the country, but I look forward to seeing pictures and hearing stories of "cookie day" every year.
My cooking triumphs

I'm sure we've all done this...I was cooking a special meal for a special person in my life and accidentally turned up the wrong burner and burned the main meal to the point that it's inedible. I HATE it when that happens. LOL
