Cooking
For Alex's birthday, we picked up all sorts of Sesame Street/Cookie Monster-related accoutrement's. One was a rectangular, iced, cookie with the outline of Cookie Monster on it. It came with edible markers, so kids could decorate their own cookie.
Now, the organic-loving/healthy-eating/anti-processed foods me couldn't help but wrinkle her nose and say "Ew...that's gross".
But, the Mom side over-ruled; Alex would have fun, and hey...he might not even eat it! He's rather particular when it comes to it comes to his baked goods.
So, we bought it, and even placed it out with the other stuff during his birthday party.
But in all the commotion, we kind of forgot to give it to him. I mean, he had lots of other food, and there was cake!
Alex came across it recently, and asked if he could finally have it.
Hmmm...we bought it mid-February, who knows how long it was sitting in the store, and it's now two months later.
Oh, what the heck.

- Birthday Pizza
Wednesday is Alex's 9th birthday. ...I know. I'm having a hard time believing it, myself. Instead of a cake, he asked for a cookie pizza to take to school tomorrow. And that's what he's getting. Sugar cookie, baked in a pizza pan. Covered...
- Birthday Cookie
I'd already made a cake for Alex's birthday party, as well as cupcakes to send to school on the actual day. So, for his much-smaller family birthday dinner, I was kind of out of ideas. One of Alex's classmates share his birthday, and her...
- Cookies...it's Begun
Alex's teacher asked if I could make sugar cookie Gingerbread men for his and the other preschool class; apparently, kids who are not Alex don't like strong spices like ginger and cloves. Could I?? Hee...I live for this. You won't want...
- A Study In Chocolate
Another Red's Round-Up (kids's party) at Earth Fare; this time the kids were given (small amounts of) chocolate to try. Alex got to try a Venezuelan dark chocolate... one in milk carob chips more Venezuelan chocolate, this time white rice...
