just had to share...
So, I baked and sent cookies to my boyfriend. They were sugar cookies, with chocolate frosting and blue fondant designs. I searched all over town for a fish shaped cookie cutter, since his summer research has to do with fish (and he enjoys fishing).
I finally found one, and I spent an afternoon designing them, writing clever slogans on them "catch me if you can" etc. I stacked them in groups of three, tied them up very prettily and sent them off. There were about 30 cookies total.
However, between the post office not shipping as fast as they said it would and his government job screening all mail (even to his private address, since it's through them), by the time he got them they were looking pretty awful. He said they were all banged up and he couldn't even figure out what they were except...
for these three little hearts that I had included just for fun. They said his name, my name and God.
I was so mad, but he thought it was so romantic and perfect!! And, of course, by now I do too : )
Now off to figure out a more foolproof idea for his birthday....
