After spending 5 hours selling fragrance in the Downtown Brooklyn Macy’s this afternoon, I came home exhausted and ready to enjoy the weekend.
Even though it was only a few subway stops away from our home, it felt like a different world! There were multiple languages spoken around me at one time, lots of murals, and amazing holiday lights!
I even had the opportunity to enjoy lunch at Brooklyn Fare, an amazing all natural, organic food store with a delicious hot bar and sandwich shop.
As soon as I walked through the door this evening I was craving a glass of wine, scented candle, and cozy pajamas. A glass of wine and cheese plate kept me company while I baked my first Christmas cookie of the season, Super Sized Ginger Chewies.
Mine didn’t exactly turn into giant ginger cookies but they are definitely delicious. Hopefully they pass the cookie swap test tomorrow.
I’m going to join Bo on the couch now to rest my legs before tomorrow morning’s 7 mile run and enjoy the movie Take Me Home Tonight.
Your cookies look delic! They remind me of the cake-cookies [with frosting] that my momma always used to buy 😀
Allison: These cookies turned out so well!!
Delicious! Maybe I should try making some of those; after all, it’ll be good to try out a few new cookie recipes instead of sticking to the same ones every time.
