Eating on Jitneys

I want to bake something this weekend. It’s cold and dark and snowy, and I have many things to do on the computer at home. Baking and working on the computer is a good combination as it forces me to step away from the screen and punch some dough around. Or, I could make cookies. I took the Red Line down to China Town last night because I could have sworn that Woks ‘n’ Things sold tartlet tins. Obviously, this must have come to me in a beautiful beautiful dream (I remember them being basically perfect) because the man working there had no clue what I was talking about. It’s a pretty great place, and I had gone all the way down there, so I decided to look around. I saw a big jar of cookie cutters for 25 cents each. Literally 3 seconds after I reached my hand in, said worked ran up to me with a package of 6 cookie cutters and said (VERY excitedly), “6 for only $1.25! What a deal?!” so I just had to. Then he started to whistle some Christmas songs, and I knew I had done the right thing.

OK, on to this contest. I want to bake something new, but don’t have much direction. Searching through cookbooks and websites is overwhelming when you don’t even have one main ingredient that you want to use. So I am asking you, trusty readers, to tell me what I should make. Bread? Cookie? I’ll choose one person’s suggestion, make it, photograph it, and I’ll either deliver or mail that person (most of) the finished product. If you read this about 4 hours ago I had claimed I would be making this tonight. However, other things took priority and I didn’t get a change to. So! If you want to be the winner, let me know what I should make and I will choose one. Hope you are all staying warm.
