Annual Cookie Baking

We gathered at my sister Cindy's house this past Saturday for the annual cookie baking fun:

Cookie Baking December 17, 2011

These are only some of the treats we made.

Some, but not all, of the cookie crew.

Those cookies...

are sitting on my counter and talking to me. The coconut macaroons and the Russian teacakes.

And I can't eat them.

I'm having a medical test done on Wednesday, that special icky one you get when you pass the magical age of fifty. Which means that I've been eating a low fiber diet for the past three days (nothing fibrous, i.e., no nuts or coconut). Tomorrow I go to all liquids.

*sigh*
