We'll start with Anna Shaw Howard Day, aka, Valentine's Day. Hopefully any fans of "30 Rock" out there will know the importance of Anna Shaw Howard for Liz.
A is a big fan of cookies, but when he's in workout mode all those cookies I bake for him are the first to go. Since it had been three months since his last taste of an "oatmeal raisie" (his favorite that I managed to perfect after so many batches), I decided to make a small batch of dough that would make just enough for him to enjoy, but not throw off his ability to continue to drop 30 pounds in a mere 3 months (men!!!). After they finished baking, it dawned on me that I had heart shaped cookie cutters I bought on clearance last V-Day. I dug through all the kitchen utensils I rarely use, and I found them still in the unopened box a year later. Oatmeal Raisin cookies aren't really meant to be shaped by cookie cutters so I struggled a bit, but here they are complete with a (precious) little "A & S" in festive sparkly red gel I had in the cabinet - Anna Shaw Howard Day only comes around once a year after all so why not go all out?
