FEAR OUR MIGHT, PUNY MORTALS. Ahem. I mean, happy holidays!

On Wednesday, my mom is coming over to do Christmas baking with me. She's already made four kinds of cookies and more kinds of bread than I know about. I've already done two and will be making the lussekatter today.

I got up at half past five this morning to make some chocolate brownies, roughly improvised from the maple brownie recipe because I have no walnuts, for [livejournal.com profile] rysmiel to take to the work party today. I ate the broken one. They're pretty good.

We call those "rejects." You have to eat the rejects! You couldn't foist sub-standardly shaped brownies upon other people! It's a humanitarian mission!

When my in-laws are doing Christmas cookies, there's always a small amount of dough that can't make an entire cookie (or won't go through the cookie press or whatever). Thus the Traditional Christmas Worm was born.

Mine are generally planets. I have a sun cookie cutter, and a moon and a star and a shooting star. So if I have a small amount of dough, I roll it into a ball, thump it with my fist, and declare it a planet, or a planetesimal, depending.
