Baking & Sprinkles

My recent romp into baking for friends - some may not call it baking, but I had my hands covered in cookie dough and pulled the baking pans out of the oven. Surely that counts for something.

Anyways, what a pleasure it is to watch friends enjoy something you baked for them! I made sugar cookies with strawberry icing (yum), and no one would let me put sprinkles on them. I like sprinkles. In fact, I made up the banishment of sprinkles the next day while at an ice cream social at the Indianapolis Zoo.

Sprinkles! Which leads me to my next question. From where did the word "sprinkle" originate? Let's look it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprinkles ...That was not a satisfying article. Ho hum.

I also recently sent out a few notes here and there to old friends. It's nice to receive something in the mail sometimes. :)
