On
December 18, 2007 we celebrated our eleventh annual exchange at Arbor
Heights. Our celebration was a small one, with just 3 bakers, but we broke
ground in getting a little video up on YouTube! We hope those moments will brighten your holidays. Happy
New Year - Mark, Dave, and Vernon!
News from
last year!
A
podcast from our 2006 exchange, as we introduced ourselves
and our creations. It's about 3 minutes. menbakebetter06mpeg.mp3
Find out how many men want to
bake cookies. This is important! The bakers need to know how
many to bake for.
Decide on a date and time for
the exchange.
Bake your cookies! Make one
dozen for each guy in the exchange. Be careful about how you
count! You only need to bake for the other guys, so don't count
yourself.
Presentation, presentation,
presentation... Arrange your cookies on nice,
festive-looking plates. Colored plastic wrap and ribbon are optional here,
but fun.
When the day arrives, arrange to
meet and share your creations! You'll be going home with lots of great
cookies!
Miscellaneous tips and
suggestions:
Bars are also just fine.
Make copies of your recipe to
share with the other bakers.
Don't skimp on ingredients - use
butter, for goodness sake.
Spouses and significant others
are NOT allowed to do your baking!
Obviously, no Chips Ahoy, Slice
'n Bake, etc.
Try to avoid recipes by famous
women bakers.
Each guy bring an extra dozen to
leave out for the rest of the staff to enjoy.
The
Men's Cookie Song
by Marv Breece
Sung to the tune of "Rawhide"
Bakin', bakin', bakin'
All the cookies makin'
To the school I'm takin'
MY PRIDE.........
Thru rain and wind and weather,
Light as a feather
OK, they're store bought, I lied.......
NOT!
