I got tired of the "Don't Say Cookie" game and came up with this idea: As participants come in, give them a candy cane and a name tag with the name of the cookie they prepared. From that point on, their name is the name of their cookie. If anyone calls them by their real name, they lose their candy cane to whomever catches it.
It was so much fun! Some people seemed to always call others by their real name, but newcomers never learn the real name so when they encounter each other in public, they call each other "Peppermint Patty" or "Almond Sugar Cookie!" The winner, as usual, is the one who has the most candy canes at the end of the event. Please enjoy! ;D LeAnne

I would love to have newcomers in Williston, North Dakota. We usually swap in December. I might have two exchanges this year, depending on the numbers. I will accept anyone, but we are usually a group of busy moms (or grandmoms!) that want a variety of good cookies without all the fuss. tracey@wil.midco.net

i hosted an exchange that involved ladies that didn't know each other well. in order for them to get to know each other better, we played a little game.
as each lady came in, she wrote two things about herself on two separate slips of paper which were dropped into a corresponding mug: 1. her favorite hobby 2. her least favorite household chore
once everyone arrived, all participants were given a sheet of paper with each lady's name in a square and the numbers 1, 2, 3 below her name. I then pulled each slip from the mug for number 1, hobby. Participants guessed who matched that hobby by writing it below her name. I followed the same procedure for number 2, household chore. For number 3, we guessed how many people currently resided in each lady's household.
each participant then told the group her information while the others scored their own sheets. one point was awarded for each correct response. the winner won a prize and we learned more about each other!

Does anyone remember Blue Jeans perfume? It was a spray perfume in a tall, skinny, yellow can with a blue lid. I sure loved it in the 80´s. I wonder if I would still like it today.

What is the current price for one dozen cookies? I know it varies by cookie type, but I have been considering getting into this business as well. Knowing the ¨going rate¨will help me make a decision.

Thanks! It helps to hear what you do. I was wondering if there is some scientific reason for sifting before or after, and of course, for the vanilla.

Thanks, Susan, for your response! I guess no one can really give me an answer to either of my questions, or I would have heard from them by now! In the meantime, I'll patiently wait. Your information was helpful!

Most cookie recipes that include vanilla ask for the vanilla to be added in near the end of the mixing. Why is this? Wouldn't one want to put the vanilla in with the liquid ingredients so as to distribute the vanilla quite well throughout the batter?

When measuring powder sugar or flour that is to be sifted, does one measure the ingredient before or after sifting? Then, what is the cleanest and easiest way to sift each ingredient?
