I love to read. My favorite books are the Hunger Games series. I have been to Spain. I will retire in a few years. I would love to travel to Italy. I love to cook.  I love baking cookies. I have grandkids. I have had earl grey tea. I have never had earl grey shortbread. I am reading the book Caste. I think race relations in the US are very important right now. I live somewhere that still has problems with race relations.
I am an Olympic gymnast. I don't read much. I have been to Spain. I bought a yellow blouse in Spain. I have 2 years before I retire from gymnastics. I am young. I would like to go to culinary school. I cook a lot of Italian and garlic bread.I would love to be a pastry chef. I make a lot of earl grey shortbread. I like strawberry shortbread, Earl Grey shortbread. I have not read the book Caste. I am skeptical about the value of race relations advocacy.
Well, I managed to get through the shortbread recipe - it's in the oven right now. I hope the grandkids like it! That sounds delicious! Is this a new recipe for you? It is! I am excited to try it for the first time. I should probably have a back-up dessert just in case! two desserts is never a bad thing :-) I can never decide what to bake so I always bake more than one thing! do you have a favorite thing to bake? Cookies! I can't even tell you how many batches of cookies I have made over the years. My grandkids love them. I love a good cookie, especially peanut butter. if you could pick your top three cookies what would they be? Oh, peanut butter is number one, for sure! A freshly bakes peanut butter cookie is amazing. Second would be Macadamia, and third would be chocolate chip.  I have an unpopular opinion: I can't taste macadamia in cookies! I think there's something wrong with my palate, lol. I feel the same way about pistachio. I do love chocolate chip andpeanut butter though. this christmas I found a sugar cookie recipe that was amazing, too Sugar cookies are great! I love them around Christmas. My grandkids and I leave them out for Santa every year. this year I impressed my wife with my excellent icing piping skills, haha! we made dinosaurs with santa hats. it was fun! do you have favorite christmas traditions? Piping icing can take time to master but it sounds like you have figured it out! My favorite traditions are baking and decorating the house! I enjoy that very much.  decorating for the holidays is one of the best parts of the whole season. when I was a kid my mom wrote directions down on how to decorate the tree and I keep them in a special box and take them out every year to remember and celebrate mom
