I feel like I've been run over by a truck. I just baked cookies but I am not amazing. I bought the prepackaged kind that you pop on the cookie sheet and put into the oven. The kitchen made me do it. It's those pink countertops.Country Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432335393660130255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-42714841563832396932008-10-24T15:24:00.000-04:002008-10-24T15:24:00.000-04:00Kate, I am just amazed at you.
