It is five hours to the book launch/signing. I have baked lemon cupcakes, brownie cupcakes, and about fourteen dozen cookies, with more to go. Next time I get the bright idea to make up 4 batches of cookie dough to refrigerate & bake the next day, I need to remember to roll the dough into tubes before I put it in the fridge.

Guest Blogger: Gabra Zackman!
Over the years I’ve had lots and lots of people tell me how much they love Gabra Zackman, the reader for most of the Walker Papers audio books.

I can’t decide if I should make more smaller cookies, or fewer larger ones (more larger ones is not an option), and I can’t figure out what price…
