The spoon cookie heartbreak<\/a> (and my day job) meant that the little spoons were my only cookie kind of Thursday. On Friday we went to Chicago for a whirlwind weekend – good deal on a Kimpton Hotel<\/a>, dinner at the Publican<\/a>, and Trombone Shorty<\/a> at Park West. The country ribs, basically a pork chop, were delicious – they are not afraid of sugar & salt at Publican! On Saturday we got up and had a Mimosa with friends and then went to see the Nutcracker at the Auditorium Theater. Followed by another good but not fancy meal at Wishbone<\/a>.\u00a0I hadn’t eaten there since I lived in Chicago in the ’90s. I remember going with some friends from\u00a0Madison\u00a0 and we were all fighting over the corn muffins.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, we were home by 2:30, but I still only completed 3 kinds + made the slice & bake dough logs for the World Peace Cookies. Those were fig bars, Mexican wedding cookies (though this year, given my ethnicity, I’ve been thinking I should start calling them by one of their other names, Russian tea cakes), and some little pistachio sandwiches, from the December ’12 Martha’s Everyday Food – <\/em>that I just realized is my last one – don’t know how I missed Martha’s\u00a0announcement<\/a>\u00a0in November.<\/p>\n

I’ve never gotten a good shot of the\u00a0Mexican\u00a0weddings, or whatever you want to call them – white on white powdered sugar is beyond my capabilities as a photographer – tho they always look nice on a tray with other kinds.<\/p>\n
