That is what I wanted to know, and I will sign up as soon as the baby is asleep.
And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn

Are you going to do a one to one pairing this year or is it going to be like last year where you had to send to three people? Because I might be able to swing shipping on a single batch but shipping to three people plus Satans is right out when I don't get any more financial aid until February

One to one. We can do a second round if people are interested and just can't stop baking.
There are several different types of brownies though. I am not a huge fan of the kinda dry cakey ones, but I love the fudgey types that get all firm and delicious on the edges.

I don't make brownies often, because when I make them from scratch they're just insanely rich and moist and oh god. It's like all of the eggs and butter and sugar forever.
By Irish potatoes, you just mean paint a bunch of leprechauns on some Yukons, right? Done!
Now I know who I'll be rigging the deck to get paired with.

Info is sent
Listen, I know we get what we get
But I just have to say (because I will feel bad for the sender if they don't know and send something) that I hate anise. Star, seed, all of it. HATE. I can detect it on a near-molecular level, and it is the destroyer of happiness and joy in all things. I feel somewhat less strongly about coconut, but anise is the worst.
If you want to send something with anise knowing that, then that's fine and I don't mind. My husband is okay with it. I just don't want someone to be all happy thinking they sent me something I'll love and it's all full of anise and my polite enthusiasm is a lie, because that always makes me sad.

On a related note: someone felt compelled to write that they were allergic to bees in their e-mail. I don't know if anyone was considering sending bees as part of their treat box but let me save you the trouble: bees are not considered a delicacy anywhere I am aware of. If you love bees as part of your holiday celebration that's great and I wish you the best. But please do not send anyone else any bees. Thank you.

While ceres has told you what she doesn't like, she has neglected to tell you what she does like.

Blondies
Chocolate brownies are the light, everyone knows this, but I'll happily throw down on some blondies and I bet you would too.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion.
Even if it is wrong.
No nuts!
Polvorones (Mexican Walnut Cookies)
I'm not going to lie, I've never made these, but I think I might. They look delicious.
Because we all need chocolate, and we all deserve chocolate.
Dark Chocolate Truffles
You don't just have to send cookies; any kind of holiday treat will be happily accepted.
Of Cookies.

Probably not, although there are those who don't tolerate honey well I think.

She really likes garlic.
Lots of garlic.
All of the garlic.
Triple Chocolate Cookies
Needs no explanation, even though white chocolate isn't technically chocolate, but shut up it's still tasty.
Also @#pipe we've got three Canadians, we just need ooooonnnnneeee moooooooooooore
