This post is a little bit overdue, as I really hoped/meant to post it back a week and a half ago. Alas, I was a little busy and did not get to blogging. This does tie into my last post though. An old high school friend is deployed with the Navy, and this deployment lasts through the holiday season. I cannot even imagine what it is like to be away from a loved one in this manner, especially during the holiday's, but I can say I understand it would be difficult. Last year I had another friend deployed over the holiday's, and I sent him a goodie box for Christmas. This year, I decided it was a nice tradition to start, so after consulting with my friends wife, I baked my little heart out and baked about 10 dozen cookies to send to him.
I've never in my life sent food via mail, so this was a new experience. I found some helpful tips online and in my cookbook. I packaged them two by two...and then again in Ziploc bags. I can only hope this keeps them fresh enough to enjoy when they do, in fact, reach their destination. (See cookies a few posts below).
I just wanted to bring a smile to someones face, and hope that I have been able to do this for my friend. I want to say Thank you to all of those serving our wonderful country. Your sacrifices are great, and are appreciated.
Love
