My mom and I have made so many cookies! :) She taught me to do things from a recipe. One year in high school I was in charge of dinner 2 nights a week. I made all kinds of things. My parents dove right and ate everything, even it was slightly burned grilled cheese sandwiches. :) They are really good sports. I read somewhere that anyone who can read can cook, and I believe that. Tomorrow, my parents are coming over to visit. I'm making pizza for lunch, and then my dad is going to get a lesson in how to make a cake from scratch. My mom will no doubt take a bunch of pictures. My mom LOVES to take pictures of us doing silly things. Today I plan to make cupcake decorations ahead of time (cupcakes will cool faster than a cake, and then we can eat some while they are here). I'm making sunflowers and ladybugs to put on top of the cupcakes. :) Allie, homemade decorations? You go, girl! :) PJH
