gma, as per wikipedia:
Sugar cookie made with butter or oil, sugar, and flour rolled in cinnamon sugar. Most distinctive feature is the cracked surface that can be crisp or soft depending on preparation.
Very simple cookie made from sugar, flour, butter, eggs, vanilla, and either baking powder or baking soda. They are often glazed with icing and decorated with chocolate or sprinkles and may be themed according to season (e.g. Halloween cookies or Christmas cookies).
I never made either, so can't compare!
Yay for getting two boxes ready to be mailed, and not yay for the weather. Refreezing is like the worst - our driveway is slightly uphill (and made of concrete bricks) and one year I wasn't able to get the car to stay there, it kept sliding back to the street!
Frenchie, I think it's a law that you do not have to do anything about packages that you didn't order. Here, at least - it's a reaction to once popular practise of unoderded goods being delivered with an invoice. Ugh about the migraine! That sucks big time any time of the year, but pre-Christmas even worse! So both your boys AND DH have birthday in December? Now... we all know what men in MrNiceGuy's family do in March!
kittykatt, I think a lot of old time songs are about relations that everybody knew were not only for married people! I remember singing a traditional song with the school choir that went something like (it does rhyme in Czech)
a bedsheet has four corners, and under it are four legs
she ate sugar she drank coffee just to be pretty
sugar and coffee are of no help if her belly keeps growing
and even in grade 6 I knew what that one was about!
