The email was almost a challenge. "bacon maple-glazed chocolate chip cookies" Whoah. What's a foodie to do? You guessed it, bake cookies. The picturesappear below. They were tasty, but a bit much in two senses. The first is that the bacon leaves a bit of an odd aftertaste. If I make them again I might really crisp the meat to see if that changes it.

Got started a little slow, and then came in a rush! A dozen kids and parents all in a pack. It's the crowd from the other end of the street. Justine was in NYC (okay technically she's on a train right now), so Liam headed out with the Audrey and the neighbors across the street. We scurried around today getting lamps lit and gravestones out mere minutes beforehand. (I never finished this year's. I...

Is it? Was it? How was it for you? No it's not, but for some teens they think it is. From cold and wet and icky weather on Saturday, through mist and fog and clouds lifting, we arrived at a hot Sunday afternoon. In which, many things happened, of minor interest to most and of modest interest to you readers, yet little earth-shattering or strange came to pass. Figures we made the "cold weather...
