Baking for a Trio of Birthdays and New Packaging.

Williams-Sonoma Chocolate Brownies, Chocolate Chunk cookies and White Chocolate, Toffee and Oatmeal cookies.

I made the labels on the computer and backed them with card stock.

The different ribbons signify different people. Red for the birthday boys and girls. Blue for boys, green for girls and black...for Nick. He is allergic to peanuts. No nuts for him!

Alain, Pippette with Vivian and Nurit (a little sleepy...or is this due to alcohol consumption?)

I'm still in catch up mode. A couple of weeks ago, (June 4th) we finally celebrated Alain's, Nurit's and Vivian's respective birthdays. Because of vacations and various circumstances during the month of May, we decided to celebrate on the 4th. That way Steve and Pippette would also be able to join us. I was supposed to be off on the friday before. But, since Ron was sick, they asked me to come in at 5-10pm. My plan had been to bake my friends favourites in their honour, as a treat to go with their gift. Everyone else is just lucky to be on my baking list. :) I woke up and started baking at 10am. I hadn't checked the day before and realized I only had 4 eggs. Damn! I would need 7 to be able to bake everything I wanted to. So I only baked the cookies since they were the most work, (and the brownies take 4 eggs on their own). I could have stopped at that but the brownies are absolutely Nurit's favourite. So, after work I went to Metro for the eggs and baked the brownies. I also felt a little inspired and made the labels. I drifted off to sleep around 2am. After work, I raced over to the Miller Tavern to meet everyone. It was nice to finally all get together. It has really been ages since all 14 of us have been in the same room. Dinner was lovely. The conversation entertaining. Definitely a memorable evening.
