Friday Night

Like all frisbee couples, Jillian and I had originally intended to give frisbees out as gifts at our wedding. However, it turns out that:

-Frisbees are expensive to have custom printed
-Frisbees only appeal to the minority of people at the wedding who actually play frisbee
-We have no artistic talent

So we needed another idea. After tossing around a number of different things, we settled on cookies in the shape of bicycles. Thus Thursday and Friday night before cooking making nights. On Thursday I started baking many, many cookies. David helped by both cooking and, incredibly, icing virtually every single cookie. Lee and I ran out and picked up supplies at Michaels to wrap the cookies and the three of us had a big cookie decorating and wrapping festival. All told, we ended up making nearly 200 cookies, though only about half were decorated sugar cookies. There was also that batch where I forgot baking soda. We still ate some of them, but they weren't very good. The rest were delicious.

Not exactly how I anticipated spending the Friday night before my wedding.
