Baking cookies
I picked out three yummy-looking recipes from my sister's big book of cookie stuff. I have made the first one this morning - pumpkin balls with cream cheese icing. They are so good! I think I have a new favorite recipe.
So my brother, Greg, sniffs his way into the kitchen. "Do those cookies taste as good as they smell?" he utters ingenuously. What he really means is, "Please spontaneously offer me a cookie, because I don't want to ask." I answer him:
"Yes."
"They sure make me hungry," he hints.
I pretend not to notice. "Thankfully, I went grocery shopping yesterday, so we have plenty of bread and sandwich fixings."
Of course, he knows that I understand exactly what he wants. So what I really communicate is, "I will give you cookies if and when I desire, but meanwhile, keep your grubby paws off." He gets the message and wanders carelessly away in a slightly disgruntled manner.
Mwahahahaha! I wield the power in the kitchen by weight of my spattered mixing spoon. ;)

Sarah, your siblings sound angelic :). Here at my house, I lay my cookies out on the counter to cool ... and they steadily disappear ... or if I remain beside the counter and attempt to exercise authority over what is eaten, it sounds like this:
"But Mom had two! Look, I'm so skinny--look! You're mean--you only let me have one. Oh, but this one just broke--I have to eat the pieces ..."
I think I need to get a scarier looking spatula :).

Oh, I gave him a cookie. :) But most of them are for mailing, not for family consumption. I'll be making cookies for us later in the week. :)
