Cookie Baking Week is going well. While the rains come down and the floods come up, the winds have not been strong, at least here, and the power has stayed on.
Cookie Report:
Hazelnut Crescents
These are all what I call "fussy" cookies, with lots of steps, but even though I fuss a bit at having to make them again, they are loved by my family, which makes them a labor of love. Thank goodness Tom helps! And he's great at clean up.
I have one more kind to make, and then a lull before the kids come next week for Lefse and Fatigmand on Wednesday and sprinkle decorated sugar cookies and gingerbread on Saturday.
We are fortunate here to live on high ground. Flooding is not a problem for us, but in the low lands, especially along the rivers flowing out of the Cascade Mountains, disasters are occurring. It is estimated that as many as 100,000 people have received evacuation notices. Some rivers are cresting today but some not until tomorrow. The rains are finally letting up, at least for a few days. Too many will experience misery for Christmas.
