In case you've never seen a cookie before:

I made cookies. They look like this. Pic by me, wednes.

Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies w/Butterscotch Chips You can see, I will need to master the fine art of cookie rotation during baking. I ate one though, they are delicious!

These are actually the tastiest oatmeal cookies I've ever made. I got the recipe from what I can only describe as a religious cookie website (I did the second recipe from the top). I'm doing 3 oat based things this year for my holiday force-feeding...oh, I mean gift giving. I'm also doing blueberry oat bread and chocolate peanut granola with banana and coconut. Then I just have choco-peanut butter chip cookies, chocolate orange bread and peanut butter fudge for the locals. Oh, and coconut jam cookies; some cherry, and some peach because those are the good jams I bought this time around. Last year I did strawberry and lemon.

I don't really celebrate Xmas per se. But I should think I would be very insulted to learn that my sending a card obligated someone to send me something in return.

People send cards and gifts because they want to; and if someone thinks less of you because a gift/card was not reciprocated, (of course it should always be acknowleged with thanks/appreciation) then that person is a dill-hole. I understand that there is a certain decorum standards regarding cards, but people have always been cool about it when I say simply, "I don't send cards." When my flist people say "hey, give me your addy and I'll send you a card" I normally do it because I love to get cards. People seem to be pleased getting a thanks and a mention in my journal.

Either way, you can just suck it up because I'm sending you some sweet treats. Do you have any food allergies or strong dislikes I should know about (nuts, coconut, chocolate etc)?
