Cookiestock 2010 ! ! ! ! !

Well, its a wrap. I have returned from the excursion after we made approximately 36 dozen cookies.


I was at first going by myself, but for some reason my hubby decided that he would go to. At first it was separate cars, then it changed to him driving me there and coming back to get me, three days later.

The man's amazing, I tell you. Boy, did we drive through some interesting conditions. Just this side of total white out.

We had supper in Bobcaygeon with my sister in law and my two brothers. It was a Chinese restaurant. Food was, on average, okay. Some was excellent, most was just there. Personally, I think $1.60 for one spring roll is rather high. Also, we love Hot and Sour soup, but not when its red (?). It almost seems like they have added sweet and sour sauce to it. That will give you an idea of the colour.

The waitress we had was obviously new, but did a very good job. The owner/manager (?) who was overseeing (?) Didn't like much. She had a look on her face like she was smelling manure, but trying to pretend she couldn't.

Anyway, we had asked for the menu to be left so we could look at desserts later. Miss Puckered Face comes over and takes the menu away and just sort of looked at us like 'who did we think WE were?"

She never asked if we still needed it. Just picked it up like it was her property and we were about to steal it.

Still had a nice time visiting with my brothers and SIL. Didn't have a lot of time to catch up, because my SIL had to work the next day. My brothers were off until Wednesday morning.

The one brother and I started some cookies that night when we got back to his place, then the next day my baby (55 years old) brother came over the next day and we got into some serious baking, decorating, etc.



I took my dogs with me and I have a video on their site where the puppy discovered snow.
