    Patsy – me either! Wasn’t planned, just sort of evolved during naptimes. My ktichen hasn’t quite recovered!

    Pam – I’ve been doing it that way for years — perfect because you don’t need to babysit it and all the grease drips to the bottom. win. win.

    Cathy – definitely a mind over matter cookie that’s worth a go!

    Ramona – good eye!

    Joanne – I wish Nick hadn’t moved it hand, but still love it.

    Sarah – omg, the weather was awesome! loving it!

    Josie – the camera I got 1/09, yes. :) one of these days i’m going to sign up for a class so i can really use it to its full potential.

    Karen – caught! i had to make a platter of cookies for something i donated, so got it all out of my system this weekend. swear.
