Belated Christmas Presents!

We got a fabulous gift today—cookies and venison! The gift from my brother and sister-in-law was on hold due to Greg having a root canal done and being unable to eat much of anything good, and a serious shortage of home made cookies. Everything was in perfect condition when we got the overnight Fed Ex delivery. I was just planning to make up some fried eggs for breakfast, so we had the eggs and slim jims, followed by a “cookie buffet”. Bless her heart, my sister-in-law sent more than 6 ½ dozen cookies! And they are all delicious. We had just finished up our other Christmas goodies, so this was welcome indeed.



This is the venison, which we love and which is difficult for us to get as Greg is no longer able to hunt. From the left, ring sausage, slim jims, and jerky. The ring sausage was still frozen solid when it arrived from North Dakota. We are having sausage and mashed potatoes for our dinner tonight.



These are the cookies: spritz, peanut butter blossoms, candy cane topped sugar cookies, peanut butter with peanut cookies, M & M cookies, and a peanut butter-coconut-corn flake cream cookie dipped in chocolate. We both love the peanut cookies. Greg’s other favorite is the spritz and my other favorite is the candy cane topped cookie, with little pieces of crushed up candy cane in the cookie.

Its a really good thing I am back on my walking and Gazelle exercise program.

These are the best cookies since...well, ever I guess! The venison is all great as well. The cookies are going to be a problem though, I see several fights breaking out over the "last" of each type. Which is why I've taken the precaution to hide the REAL last one of each type. Shhhh, it's a secret!
