Day 139 ~ another cold day in PA

Yep - it's cold here...and I don't like it! Heck...I'm amazed that Christmas is less than two weeks away...I sure am not ready for that either! I am taking Wednesday off from work so I can make some cookies and finish up some presents I am making (which I can't talk about 'cause some of the recipients are regular readers of this blog...). In prep for my baking marathon, I asked Steve what kind I should make (other than the required multiple batches of chocolate chip) and he described a molasses/ginger snap variety that his mom made when he was a kid so I asked his big bro Rick in Ohio to email me the recipe. I also plan to make a big batch of Chex Mix but poor Steve tells me he has no control when faced with a bowl of Chex Mix...he can't stop eating it - until he gets sick...poor guy...
