I called to get it set up for later this week & the guy said he'd come right away. He even remembered us, as he set up the whole escort deal when the house moved.

I'm completely exhausted. Started making them probably 7ish, didn't finish till like 11. I just take forever to prepare/get stuff out/make it and took forever to roll out, ball it back up and reroll it after I run out of room for the shapes, etc. then the time they took to cook, like 20 mins, some 25, and I made like 3 trays, cooked one at a time, so that's like an hour and a half alone, plus the icing bit. And in and out of the room, made myself a microwave dinner somewhere in the middle of it all, get a little distracted trying to do multiple things at once aha anyway, of course standing/running around the kitchen the whole time but I was exhausted even an hour or less into it, need to get in shape. Anyway, thought I was gonna fall over with exhaustion but decided to watch one episode before bed. Well, that was a major cliffhanger so decided to watch one more. Wanted to keep watching but decided I better head to bed. Didn't feel tired sitting there, actually was super into what was happening on the show, major twists, but as soon as I stood up, I felt the exhaustion again lol so I am now finally going to sleep. Probably should have just slept as soon as I was done making these but oh well. Also I need major work on my drizzling skills (or lack thereof) but they're dog treats so oh well. I was going to make chocolate chip for the humans, even bought the chocolate chips, but I was just way too exhausted to make anything else. Also way too exhausted to do any dishes. The cutting the shapes and frosting them, etc. Took foreverrr. Going to have to do the dishes in the morning.

Here's probably way more pics than you ever wanted of before and after baking and after frosting and stuff and then the finished ones, after chilling in the fridge for a few hours to harden to the peanut butter drizzle.

Wouldn't that have been a plum orchard?

No, always a drought in California, the plums dried up and turned to prunes on the trees! :lau

That made me think of those Christmases a long, long time ago (way before my time) when kids were thrilled to find an orange and some nuts in their stockings.

Better than a lump of coal! We always got a can of Graber olives, they are the BEST. Greenish brown, taste much more like black than green (which I do not like at all) olives. They were kinda local (Ontario, So. Cal). Buy them online now.
