snowflakes and sugar cookies.

 Or should I say blizzards and blubber-building bonbons? Yes, that seems more appropriate. 

 Hey, it's the cold, winter, holiday time. We're supposed to be building up our fat stores for the freezing weather that is sure to come. 

 40 pre-sized sugar cookie dough balls, courtesy of the Scout camp that I worked at this summer. You get to take left overs home when you stay until the very end. Just ask my 10 pound box of bacon. 

 There is nothing in this world quite like warm cookies. Nothing. 

Actually, there probably is, but that list that is much too long. 

 

And when all the cookies are all done, the weather takes a turn for the beautiful.
