One year ago today
Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 2:03PM My Chief Brideslave and I were rolling, cutting and baking 150 jigsaw shaped butter cookies.
We bagged them two to each cellophane bag, tied them with natural rafia and added a tiny Cookie Monster quote tag:
"Sometimes me think, "What is love?" and then me think "Love is what last cookie is for. Me give up last cookie for you"
In all the mess of wedding planning, guest arrivals and general chaos, sometimes what you need is a morning in the kitchen with your favourite girlfriend, cutting and baking and making just to restore some sanity.
Of course, there are those who would say that baking 150 cookies four days before your wedding is an act of gross insanity (and by "those" I mean the Chief Brideslave), but it worked for me.

Happy anniversary! when i get married, i'll totally be that crazy kind of person too who wants to cook from scratch for my wedding.
I absolutely was the crazy "I must do everything, except for that which I choose to delegate to trusted people" person. And it was totally worth it. I loved every second of it and the wedding was 100% filled with things which were handcrafted by and/or personal to us.
This made me a little teary -- how gorgeous! Off to find a last cookie to give away...
