whew, it’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks! finals are done, one quarter (out of 6) of grad school is complete, we went to victoria on a spur of the moment mini-vacation, then we packed our bags, hopped a flight, and we’re back in ca!
eclaire note: i’m in the middle of final exams right now, but luckily one of my dearest friends offered to share a guest post with you! i’m continually inspired by katie’s cooking and baking, so you’re in for a treat, dear readers. enjoy!
Hi my fellow eclaire readers. As a long time friend of Emilie’s and a reader of her blog, I thought since Emilie is in the midst of finals and I was making my favorite holiday cookies now would be a good time for a guest post. These seven layer (rainbow) cookies are my favorite holiday cookies because they meet all my requirements for a great holiday cookie:
- They are a little labor intensive so you won’t make them year round
- Not everyone makes them
- They taste great
- They look festive
as a vegetarian, i always have a challenging time deciding what to make for a main course on thanksgiving, christmas, and other traditionally meat-centered holidays.
after a manic couple of weeks at school, i lucked out with a six-day weekend – a combination of the thanksgiving holiday and a snow day. yay!
friends, it’s been a roller coaster week here in seattle. there’s been lots of cold weather (brr!), lots of school stuff for me, lots of work stuff for mike, a loss in mike’s extended family.
