There are too many people in my head most days. I can usually shout them down and get to work but today I was struggling. I got this terrific new recipe for Root beer Cookies. Doesn't that sound wonderful? Since I can't drink soda anymore, I was on board for this little sugar trip. Unfortunately, the people in my head were drowning out my ability to concentrate. So, I left the eggs out of the wonderful new cookie recipe and got flat cookies. They are still edible but they lack structure-no spine to hold them up in your hand. You would think that was no big deal, but a foodie like myself must have attractive looking food. If the food doesn't look good, very few will taste your wares. Happily, they are just cookies and the kids will eat them no matter what.
I was looking forward to presenting these cookies-with the eggs in them of course-at my Baking for Shannon bake sale at the end of the month but sadly, the state has shut me down. This little girl is on her second bone marrow transplant and I wanted to organize a fund raiser to help her family. I have organized a committee and even started getting so people willing to donate their baked wares. Like a good little American, I called the county health department to make sure we were on the up and up and they shut me down!!! Just like that. So we have gotten to a place in this country where you can't even hold a bake sale anymore for fear of law suits! Is that not the most ridiculous thing you have ever heard! I am in pity mode right now, but I will get his thing off the ground if I have to beg for baked goods from every store and restaurant in this area. We will have baked goods to sell to try and help this family.
