Wedding Cookies

Genius:

For as long as anyone here can remember, wedding receptions in Pittsburgh have featured cookie tables, laden with dozens of homemade old-fashioned offerings like lady locks, pizzelles and buckeyes. For weeks ahead — sometimes months — mothers and aunts and grandmas and in-laws hunker down in the kitchen baking and freezing. Then, on the big day, hungry guests ravage the buffet, piling plates high and packing more in takeout containers so they can have them for breakfast the next day.

Boy do I know what we are doing when we renew our vows.

Psh! Why wait for that? I know what we should do on New Years/Tuesdays!

Cookies for everyone! Wait — what about Sundays? What about this Sunday (not for cookies, but brunch)?

Drat! I did not read your comment in time! I would have loved brunch on Sunday. Perhaps another time soon?

Brunch time soon, indeed! Let me know.
