after a day of baking
bb: Don't eat the cookies cooling on the stove, Middle...
Middle: ...?
bb: They're made with walnut flour.
Middle: But now I really WANT a cookie. And I had one of those cookies from S and it had walnuts and I was okay!
(ed. note: Middle is allergic to walnuts. Not rush-to-the-hospital allergic, but in-for-a-rough-night allergic.)
bb: Well tonight's not a good night to do an experiment.
(ed. note: Middle's Winter Concert is tonight.)
Middle notes that bb is now dredging the cookies in vanilla confectioner's sugar.
Middle: Sure, make them look even better! What else are you going to do, give each person who eats one a five dollar bill?

I am cooking for neighbours too and planning our Christmas Eve dinner and stressing a little about the timing of all of that and just hope that you have had an opportunity to relax for a minute or two - Love Actually does it for me everytime too.
The end.
