what if you don't use recipes
And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn

About half and half! It usually turns out, more or less.
And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn
Looking at some pictures, I worry that I maybe didn't send enough sweets?
Also--I've decided that fudge never turns out exactly the way you want it to, and making fudge is just chasing the dragon, because you remember it being so good. And it's good this time, but if you make another batch, maybe it'll be better.

All my baking is done! Sending my goodies tomorrow! Hooray!
I've decided that fudge never turns out exactly the way you want it to, and making fudge is just chasing the dragon, because you remember it being so good. And it's good this time, but if you make another batch, maybe it'll be better.
Although I was writing to somebody about making fudge, and I realized that when you make fresh fudge, and lick the bowl, that never goes wrong, and is always kind of a transcendent sort of experience (if you love chocolate, probably? for me it is an amazing thing). So go ahead and make another batch--sometime, at least. Also, sorry cookie recipient, that I couldn't let you in on licking the bowl.
Today I received cookies! I checked the front door and there was a box!
I opened the box to discover a tin!
The hand did not come in the box.
In the tin was tasty graham cracker and stuff with chocolate on cookies! Also wonderful fudge! And a note!
The hand did not come in the tin, either.
A note about crumbly bee-free fudge. Crumbly fudge is the best fudge and it is so delicious. I swiftly tested both of these confections by standing there with one in each hand and shoving them in my face (so delicious. om nom scomf.)
The hand took a cookie in a much more restrained fashion and ate it, despite my protestations that they were terrible and fattening and I would throw myself on this pyre for him and eat them all myself.
Cookies go into box.
Box goes into apartment.
Our apartment.
We're gonna need a bigger glass of milk.
Thanks @ceres, for many and varied delicious chocolatey cookies!

My husband loves those. I will probably end up making more tomorrow. :P

Cookies packaged and sent today! I hope you like them, cookie recipient! It should be delivered within 2 days or so. I wasn't terribly creative in packaging them, but I was mostly just hoping they arrive undamaged. Enjooooooooooy!
Same... mine should arrive during the holidays, but they won't be there in time for Christmas. I hope that's ok!

I am not Christian and so my holidays are long over anyway.

I mailed mine out from some podunk post office in the connecticut woods while on my way to go snowboarding, yesterday. Hopefully they will reach their destination on Friday or Saturday.

Came home today.. with a BOX!
For the sake of brevity, have a link of the glorious un-boxing.
@Cello: Many thanks for the delicious, delicious cookies and round fudge... things (the name sadly came off the box with the tape). Any chance you got a recipe handy for the fudgies?

They're chocolate chip cookie dough truffles! I usually follow the recipe here. Glad you liked them!!
It's pretty much why I eat like, 3 of the truffles max after they've been made! Because I have already eaten half of the cookie dough before I even coated it in chocolate, and have likely already entered a sugar coma.
My shipment will also be waiting a bit. The big extended family holiday party is on the 29th this year, and I'll be making a lot of goodies then. Waiting for that will allow me to include a bigger variety of treats.
My shipment is going out in the morning, at last! Also I ate all of the delicious things @Noisymunk sent because I am bad at this game. But he makes really, really good banana bread, y'all.
HOWEVER, I failed at identifying myself. Had a card to put in the box and everything, but NOPE, found it sitting in my bag.
So um. If someone gets a package on Thursday or Friday, might be from me :bz
My package will be going out on Monday. Very sorry for the delay, my mad plans to combine this with baking for the family holiday party were foiled by sickness that lingered awhile. And then the great deep freeze here left me with a kitchen that was 49 degrees F last I checked.
So, baking will take place this weekend when I finally have both a clean bill of health and a kitchen warm enough to function in.
Mine should be going out tomorrow, if all goes according to plan. I'm glad we had group A (on the ball) and group B (terrible slackers) so we could each be in a little cluster and the joy could go on for weeks and weeks!

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
(or someone I don't know is sending me things)
I will have cookies tomorrow. Holy shit! Cookies!

Ahhh no, a box of cookies!
Awesome peppermint sandwich cookies, doubly so because nobody else in the house will eat them, chocolate cookies, and shaped sugar cookies!
Thanks a ton!
I'll send them your thanks, and a good share of the cookies I should be receiving.
