Weekend Edition: Hurricane Cookies

This hurricane has turned me into more of compulsive cleaner than normal.  I somehow found myself doing a deep scrub of the kitchen sink and cleaning out old spices from the spice rack.  Clearly this is absolutely necessary to prepare for a massive storm heading in our directions.

Thank goodness for cookies. Unfortunately I have a pretty strong feeling that the cookies will be way gone before the storm even hits.  Although given the fact that the storm is 800 miles big maybe not. 

Today I am busy tying up some loose ends for work next week and getting posts ready to go on the off chance we lose power.
