The Cookies Have Crashed and Burned

I honestly tried to keep the cookie project going. I made it three days. Out of 25. Maybe I'm just not cut out for insane cooking jags. Last night I just couldn't bring myself to bake gingerbread men (and women -- even baking must be politically correct these days), so I made spicy shrimp with udon noodles instead. Asian comfort food was far more satisfying after a hard day of internet Christmas shopping and addressing 50 Christmas cards by hand. I also made stockings. Look out Martha Stewart, here I come! Not to fear, there will be more cookies, but no longer at the insane pace. Besides, I am still waiting for the replacement gear to fix the KitchenAid.
