Drum roll please.... Diane! You are the proud new owner of a generous stack of Cute as a Button Sugar Cookies! I guess I'm sending them to Mexico. I don't think my cookies have ever been on such a long journey before. I hope you like them! And for the rest of you that were...

I take things personally. I try not to, but I can't help it. If I discover that a person dislikes me I'll wrack my brain for the answer to their derision. I'm not the type of person to hate anyone so it's hard for me to understand why someone would point their hatred at me....

Today it seems like all the technology I rely on day to day has turned against me. My exercise bike has shed a mysterious screw. I can't, for the life of me, figure out where it belongs and I feel like the whole thing might fall apart beneath me the next time I try to...

There is no other recipe that is so simple and yet so personally challenging than Yorkshire Pudding. Three ingredients. Sounds easy? Wrong! I've never had this much trouble with such a small recipe.
