nothing to snicker at snickerdoodles

Please skip ahead.

I did something dumb, stupid actually. I spent the day at school with my 6th grader. His teacher has [...]

This is my favorite desert any time of year but I find it especially pleasing after a holiday meal. Forget the pumpkin pie and cheesecake I much prefer something lighter.

Sunday was a lot of things, St. Nikolaus Day, My grandmother’s 95th birthday, and a day of travel.
