We had originally planned to go on a short trip this weekend, possibly back to Frankenmuth, but we couldn’t agree on an itinerary and Sandi didn’t want to travel very far anyway.  As it turned out, it was a good thing we didn’t: 3 out of the 5 of us have been down this weekend with a 24-hour stomach flu, and being sick at home is bad enough.  Being sick on the road would be a nightmare.

I spent most of the weekend making cookies with whomever wasn’t sick at the time, which unfortunately, didn’t include Sandi.  She spent most of Saturday feeling like she was going to be sick and then spent Sunday actually being so.

I got to make a lot of interesting cookies, though.  We made lemon meltaways, chow mein noodle Christmas trees, stained-glass sugar cookies (what a lot of work!), coconut-orange marmalade crescents, candy cane cookies, reindeer sugar cookies and cherry-almond pinwheels.  And that was after I cut four other recipes from my list!  Oh well, there’s always next weekend.  

Or maybe not.
