Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

The Nutella-stuffed brown-butter sea-salt chocolate chip cookies are worth every calorie but kind of a PITA. I was also super fond of the cornflake wreaths we made last year--very old school Midwest. :)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I love those wreaths! I wonder if anyone else on my team would be likely to bring them.

Sara, your cookies look amazing.

The rolling in nuts is a pain. And I find the cookie part too cakey rather than fudgey. I think if I put in a whole egg (rather than just yolk) and melt in some dark chocolate (currently just cocoa powder) that might do it. Will try tomorrow.

It's odd that I have enough cookie recipes under my belt, despite not being a Cookie Monster, that I know how to tweak them for results. I like making cookies more than I like eating them. If only I could make them consistently pretty.

Oh, and thanks for the compliments!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

New levels: I haven't made it back to level 20 yet, but apparently there are at least 50 levels now.

50? Meep. I'm hung up on 16. I think I stopped around 18 last time.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Level 25 said I had completed all levels. Possibly there are secret further levels I am not privy to?

I wish I could find a job doing compass and straight-edge constructions. I love that stuff.

Y'all are way better at that game than I am.

I've gotta go do leaves. Brian did 12 bags this week, but now there are more out front.

Soon as I eat this empanada. And put outside pants on.
