I’m home for the holidays and man are we fat and happy at the house. To add to our happiness, we hosted the second anual family cookie bake-off. I mean, these Zyer’s mean biznaz…the winner of the Golden Spatula award (which I made out of regular old spatula, spray painted gold and blinged out with jewels) “Dave” took his cookie on a test run twice before delivering the goods at the bake-off. He was not going down without a fight. The thing that probably cracked me up the most was listening to his wife rationalize whether she would enter a cookie because she was afraid of beating her husband, and the drama it would ensue when she paraded her award all year. Dave had been talking so much smack, I secretly wanted her to win…just to witness the throw down! Here are a couple pictures of the caloric suicide we participated in:
The second award we give out is called the “Golden Grape” award (which are amber glass grapes displayed in a football display case) for the best looking cookie. My sister-in-law took the price with this German star cookie. She wasn’t even going to enter, so go figure she took home the prize. All in all it was a good time. We gave away “fail” prizes for all the other fabulous entries. My entry was bamboozled again…and you know what, I know I should have won…the lemon streusal bar with white chocolate and pecans is devils food! At least it won the “Bam Sucka” vote…and that’s good enough for me!
I’ve started pulling all the music for our February show, when I get home I am slammed with rehearsals. Bart Doerfler has built a show that is kicking my butt so I’m going to have to lock myself in the studio and just practice, practice, practice! That and work off all of this holiday goodness. I’m back in my stretchy pants, and that’s not good! I threw out all my pants that were my old size…bahaa…serves me right. Oh well, I sure do love my holiday goodness! Just a reminder if you haven’t checked it out yet, you can hear Eden’s Angel @ www.indiegogo.com/edens-angel-project hope you enjoy the tune and the cause.
Happy New Year y’all!
