Are You Nuts?

This is the question that I've been getting from more than a few people this past week.

Why?

Because I decided to make 300 bags of cookies and brownies for the Laughs For Bald Bryan VIP reception. Since I've been baking so much lately I decided that I'd really love to make a bunch of cookies and brownies as a "thank you" to the people in the VIP section. I would've made 1200 of them, but that was ridiculous. Bryan and I have been really overwhelmed at the response to tonight's (EEK!) fundraiser and wanted to thank people. We weren't sure how, until I offered up my baking services. Since we've had a pretty quiet week, I've had a lot of time to get baking done. I baked for about 7 hours on Wednesday afternoon/night. Turns out that was the "easy" part, as cutting and inserting turtle brownies into little cellophane bags can be a pretty sticky situation. Pun intended.

Regardless, this is my first big baking adventure and it was really fun. Check out the photos and you can see my progress. If you're at the VIP section tonight, make sure to grab a cookie or brownie bag. There are turtle brownies, peanut butter swirl brownies, sea salt/chocolate cookies, peanut butter cup cookies and toffee crunch cookies. Yum!

I'll also post photos and a story on my officially-named food blog, www.pardonmycrumbs.com!

Christie, I think you should some down to Australia. You'll be right at home with my partner, and I'll take Bryan to some breweries :D

I saw the goodie bags at the event but didn't think to grab one. If only I had known that you went through all the trouble I surely would have made it a point, damn.

Man, those look good! And the ones below in the earlier blog, too! Cookie girl! You go, girl! How awesome to have something else, something so creative to dive into compared to what your attention has been pointed to for the past 9 months! So glad you're having fun.

I want a cookie!
