These first two shots are to show the sheer volume of cookies that we produced. The mountain of little ones were made with this cool little machine, one of those things you see on TV be figure they will never work. It took a little getting used to, but we were busting out sheet after sheet of these little cookies once we got in the swing, while one sheet was in the oven, we'd empty, clean, and refill the next sheet. The other cookies are made the old fashion style, rolled out with a pin and punched out with different shaped cutters. We got creative with a few, pulling out a knife and making out own designs, among them, some snowmen, a big angel, and a guitar.
Here are my teammates hard at work, decorating the cookies.
Cookies aside, I visited the Christmas market that's just down the street from me, the one I was planning on taking pictures at and writing about, but it turned out to be pretty small, at least for the moment, so I didn't bother writing about it or taking pictures. When I head to the big one in the middle of Hamburg, I will make sure to write something.
Also, I'm going to start an E-mail list for blog update reminders, if you want to know instantly when a new blog is up, just send an e-mail to ksacherman@gmail.com to get on the list!

You mountain of cookies makes my effort look like a mere bump in the road. And am I the dominant one in the kitchen you mention? Damn. I try to let you just do you thing when you cook for me. Perhaps I will have to work on letting go a bit more next time you cook here.
I want to hear more about sunday cake time. Sounds like a good tradition to export.
luv,
Mom (wow upside down)
Kevin: Christmas away from home -- I did it when I was 13 and thought it was pretty grim but it turned out ok. Hope yours is ok too. We've got a lot of snow here and temperatures well below freezing at night. Pretty days, though -- high pressure systems give us clear blue skies. I hope you still read this now that you can chat with your mom. Fred
